Growth Factor & Peptide Serums Part 1 #shorts

If you can't tolerate a retinol, but you are trying to make more collagen and trying to help yourself, but you are just unable to get past the irritation of retinols. I'm a 39 year old board certified dermatologist. My focus is on cosmetics and there are other ingredients on the market that can help you help yourself. Besides vitamin C, which is the classic ingredient that everybody talks about, we're not going to beat that horse to death. There are other ingredients that you can incorporate, even exfoliating acids like glycolic acids, but the more interesting ones are the growth factors as well as certain peptides. Growth factors can signal your cells to grow, to proliferate and to heal, whereas peptides have various other functions in your skin, from muscle signaling, so it can help reduce the look of wrinkles, to even antiinflammatory effects.
