The Ordinary lab has formulated a transformative new product that combines a high concentration of 3 next-generation growth factors (GF), offering a product that dismantles barriers of “price-to-quality” innovation. On the 8th January, the brand launched GF 15% Solution, a multifaceted age-support serum targeting visible skin renewal with the goal of regenerating the look of skin through firming, lifting and smoothing.
For the first time, The Ordinary is introducing growth factors into a formulation, which are a class of biomimetic (or nature identical) peptides that in skin, are involved in natural mechanisms of repair for skin that looks and feels younger. These ingredients have been used in formulations currently on the market, however, accessibility remains extremely limited due to the high costs associated with producing and selling these unique formulations – while The Ordinary’s latest serum featuring GF will offer incredible age support benefits at an accessible price.
A Breakdown Of Growth Factors
Over time skin accumulates damage from environmental stressors such as pollution (including smog) and UV light, which can cause irritation and a decrease in protective antioxidant molecules. Additionally, with age, there is a depletion of key molecules in skin, including growth factors, which can slow down our natural repair mechanisms, contributing towards an accumulation of damage. Due to skin’s lessened repair abilities, important structural components and processes are impacted which can lead to uneven texture and signs of aging including dullness., fine lines and wrinkles, and loss of firmness and elasticity.
Growth factors that occur naturally in the body are signaling molecules that support the skin’s natural repair processes to help reduce the appearance of signs of aging. They have been found to support:
- Skin’s natural collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid
- Skin cell turnover
- Protection against external irritants
In cosmetics, The Ordinary’s GF 15% Solution uses a triple-ingredient approach to combat these visible signs of aging and regenerate skin’s appearance, utilizing three different types of plant-based growth factors which provide short, mid and long-term effects. These ingredients are included at a high concentration of 15% and are referred to as EGF, IGF and TGF.
An EGF Complex helps to support skin’s natural elastin, and the process of skin renewal. to target the appearance of wrinkles, while promoting elasticity and firmness.
A complex of IGF helps to regenerate the appearance of skin by helping support skin density and minimizing visible wrinkles.
TGF improves skin’s integrity by supporting natural collagen to minimise visible lines and wrinkles, whhile promoting skin firmness and elasticity and smoothing skin texture.
Through these innovative ingredients combined with The Ordinary’s mission to offer them at accessible pricing, the brand presents a serum that will harness age supporting ingredients to support skin’s natural repair processes, resulting in:
✔ Regenerating the look of aging skin
✔ Reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles
✔ Firming the face and neck area for a more lifted appearance
✔ Targeting rough skin for a smoother appearance
This serum could be considered ideal for anyone looking to consider their age-support journey.
GF 15% Solution can be used Am and PM, and as it is a peptide, it is recommended to not use this product in the same regimen as exfoliating acids or direct vitamin C products.
The Ordinary GF 15% Solution retails at RM95.
