Igf

Goodactive

Insulin-like Growth Factor, a protein that can stimulate cell growth and repair.

Can I mix Igf with other ingredients?

Caution

AHAs (Glycolic, Lactic, etc.)

Growth factors like EGF may lose effectiveness when layered with AHAs. Consider using in separate routines.

Caution

BHAs (Salicylic Acid)

BHA's low pH may reduce growth factor effectiveness. Consider using in separate routines for best results.

Caution

Vitamin C

Vitamin C's low pH may reduce growth factor effectiveness when layered together. Consider using in separate routines for best results.

Info

Peptides

Growth factors and peptides work through complementary pathways. EGF/PDRN signals cell repair while peptides boost collagen synthesis.

Info

Centella Asiatica (Cica)

Growth factors paired with centella accelerate skin repair and wound healing. Both support tissue regeneration.

Info

Ceramides

Ceramides create a protective barrier that helps growth factors stay active on the skin longer.

Info

Niacinamide

PDRN/EGF pairs well with niacinamide. Both support skin repair through different pathways without any conflicts.

Info

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid on damp skin followed by growth factors ensures hydration and maximizes EGF/PDRN absorption.
