How to Use Growth Factors in Skincare

Growth factors are peptides that signal your skin to repair and regenerate, but they're expensive and need consistent use to show results.

1. Start with clean skin. Apply growth factor serums to freshly cleansed skin when your pores are clear. They need direct contact with skin cells to work effectively.
2. Apply to damp skin. Pat a few drops onto slightly damp skin morning or evening. The moisture helps the peptides penetrate better than on completely dry skin.
3. Layer strategically. Use growth factors before heavier creams but after lighter serums like vitamin C. They need to reach your skin first, then seal them in with moisturizer.
4. Give them time. Growth factors work slowly by encouraging your skin's natural renewal cycle. Expect to wait 8-12 weeks for visible changes in texture and firmness.
