Epidermal Growth Factor for under-eye care
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It signals the need to produce more collagen and epithelial cells. It has been extensively researched for it's role in wound heeling and has caught the attention of the beauty industry.
Collagen fibers are the elastic scaffolding responsible for skin elasticity and resilience. Collagen is also the building block of blood and lymph vessel walls. As we age, the levels of collagen in the body decrease.
EGF has been proven though scientific research to help decrease wrinkle depth and eye-bags*. It stimulates natural regeneration processes in the skin without any side-effects. Used regularly it promotes softer and more elastic skin.
The EGF used in CUKIER Under-Eye Serum is produced by bacteria and sourced in European Union, therefore it's called "sh-oligopeptide-1" in the ingredient list. I've decided to use it alongside Matrixyl 3000 and Progeline for maximum efficiency in making the skin more elastic and resilient.
