The "winter uglies" are almost upon us. If you want a boost for your skin without breaking the bank, there's a new skincare craze taking the world by storm: Growth factors. But what are they and how can they help your skin? We're breaking down the science and how one of our favorite skincare brands, PCA Skin, has cracked the code with their new Age Renewal Cream.
Harness the power of micro growth factors that can penetrate up to 10x deeper than conventional*
What are growth factors?
Growth factors are a naturally occurring substance, mostly in the form of proteins, that help with regulation of healthy tissues and cells throughout the body. When used in skincare, they can encourage cell turnover and collagen production to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
However, not all products boasting claims of growth factors were created equally. It's important to pay attention to the concentration and other ingredients so you're not spending on a product that won't actually help your skin.
What makes the Age Renewal Cream different?
PCA Skin formulates their products to specifically target visible and underlying causes of aging using ingredients that are naturally found in the body. Their "progressive, not aggressive" methodology focuses on gentler, but scientifically-proven treatments for consistent results. Their Age Renewal Cream uses Micro Growth Factor Technology using 4 tripeptides that are up to 5x smaller, and thus able to penetrate skin up to 10x deeper than other growth factors.*
This is especially effective for women that are menopausal or postmenopausal. In a 16-week case study, there was a 54% reduction of dry patches and a 33% improvement in thinning skin.**
The rich, velvety texture offers a cooling sensation thanks to the addition of undaria extract, stem cells sourced from algae, and jojoba and macadamia seed oils.
