Shereene Idriss explains growth factor and peptide serums like Skin Medica Advanced Serum as retinol alternatives, especially for sensitive skin or the neck and chest. She stresses consistency matters more than intensity.
They help stimulate collagen. Now let's say you can tolerate retinol, but you cannot tolerate it on your neck or chest. These products, these are the two that I'm currently playing with. The Skin Medica Advanced Serum as well as the eyelids of Skin Multi Peptide and Growth Factor Serum are great to use on the neck and chest, especially for those who cannot use a retinol there. But if you can't use a retinol all over your face, even try incorporating one of these into your skincare routine. A little bit goes a long way, and consistency over intensity is the name of the game. Plus your face will not get irritated in the process. If you have any questions about growth factors or peptides, or want to learn more about this particular topic, let me know in the comment section below.
