What is EGF?
The full name of EGF is epidermal growth factor, and the Chinese name is epidermal growth factor. EGF is a growth factor existing in human body, and its main function is to promote the division of skin cells.

Studies have shown that a very small amount of EGF can strongly stimulate cell growth, inhibit the expression of aging genes, prevent skin aging, and keep skin components in the best physiological state.

In addition, it can stimulate the synthesis and secretion of some extracellular macromolecules (such as hyaluronic acid and collagen) and moisturize the skin, which is the key factor to determine the vitality and health of the skin. The discovery of EGF reveals the mystery of human skin aging. For the first time, human beings realize that skin aging can be reversed and skin can become young again.

Disadvantages of epidermal growth factor

Not easy to store: EGF is unstable at room temperature and needs to be stored at low temperature or exists in the form of freeze-dried powder. However, the EGF freeze-dried powder on the market needs to be used up within one week after being prepared with lysozyme, and the activity of EGF will gradually disappear with the passage of time, and generally it will be inactive after 7 days.

One-way stimulation of cell proliferation leads to unpredictable consequences: compared with RGF (Regulatory Growth Factor), EGF only continuously stimulates cell proliferation.

Generally, it only acts on damaged skin: EGF has a good promotion effect on damaged skin, but has little effect on general skin. It is mostly used for acne muscle, burn and scald and skin repair after medical and aesthetic surgery.
