As we, “grow up”, the number of fibrobalst descrease, so we are not producing new cells or collagen, hence the sagging skin issues. Fibroblast cells, like all cells, are also prone to decrease with environemtnal damage- pollution (especially us city dwellers!), sun, stress, poor nutrition, etc. With quality growth factors we are able to nourish & directly heal the epidermis. The infusion of firbroblast growht factors dimishes wrinkles and aid in rejuvenation of the skin making it more youthful and luminous. Bascially, stimulating your skin to continue to produce healthy cells as if it were younger skin. That is, in a nutshell, why growth factors are so important in reparing/rejuventing the skin. Hope that was helpful!Not all growth factors are created equal!I can say that I have tried several other growth factor products and have now come to understand why these products are so much more effective! I chose AQ Skin Solutions Growth Factor skin products because they are different from other brands. They have the highest quality growth factors available! They use premium sources for their growth factor ingredients, scientifically advanced methods of production and filtration ensure highly stable, pure, concentrated products. I just don't know another brand that does. Yes, growth factors in general are higher price point products, and for good reason. If you find a cheap one, I can assure you, you are not getting this quality.The AQ Eye Serum promotes smoother, younger-looking skin. It stimulates the skin’s natural process of repair and rejuvenation by providing the biological elements that are present in young, healthy skin. The concentrated GF-technology blend stimulates collagen production for increased firmness, while several smoothing peptides help tighten and lift sagging skin. Through activation of the skin’s own damage repair processes, fine lines and wrinkles are smoothed. It increases micro-circulation and lightens the under-eye area, clearing up “bags” and dark circles. The moisturizing formula supports the health of skin to maintain results and will not irritate even the most sensitive eyes. This pure, non-greasy serum has a clean smell and will not clog pores.
