I slathered this pricey growth-factor serum on my face every single night for 30 days. My wallet cried, but my skin had other things to say.
The real kicker? It made my skin look like I’d gotten 9 hours of sleep even after a 5-hour night. That’s not nothing.
It’s a $220 peptide-and-growth-factor cocktail. The claim that hooked me: “clinically proven to rejuvenate aging skin.” I call bullshit on most claims, but I tested it anyway.
Texture
Feels like a slippery, watery gel that disappears in 15 seconds flat.
Packaging
Airless pump that actually dispenses the right amount — no waste, no mess.
Smell
Basically nothing. Barely-there cosmetic scent that fades instantly.

No BS: it’s packed with human fibroblast-conditioned media (yes, that’s as weird as it sounds). Plus a solid peptide lineup. These aren’t just hydrating — they’re telling your skin to behave younger.
- Growth Factors: Signal skin to speed up cell turnover
- Copper Tripeptide-1: Calms redness and boosts collagen
- Niacinamide: Shrinks pores and evens tone
- Hyaluronic Acid: Plumps fine lines temporarily

First week: nothing. Honestly felt like overpriced water. By day 10, I noticed my forehead lines looked… softer? Not gone, but like someone photoshopped them at 50% opacity.
Week three hit different. My skin looked lit from within — not greasy, just alive. One unexpected thing: my usually-temperamental chin breakouts vanished. Didn’t see that coming.

Fine lines: visibly softened, not erased. Texture: smoother, like silk instead of sandpaper. Pores: look smaller, though that might be the niacinamide doing heavy lifting. Dark spots? Still there. It didn’t touch my hyperpigmentation at all.

It’s a luxury, not a necessity. But if you’ve got the budget and want that “I just had a facial” glow without the appointment, this delivers. Just don’t expect magic.
