How to repair Aging-Related Skin Damage

Responsive Skin Repair Technology. 3 next-gen growth factors. One advanced age-support formulation. Meet GF 15% Solution.

Aging and environmental stressors like sun exposure and pollution can significantly affect your skin, slowing down its natural cell regeneration process. This leads to visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and dullness. Using a targeted skincare regimen, you can address these signs of damage and help your skin recover.

Is it Possible to Reverse Skin Damage?

Skin damage occurs when factors like aging and environmental stressors weaken the skin’s ability to repair itself. Aging causes our skin’s natural collagen production to decrease, and sun exposure increases the production of free radicals causing oxidative stress.

We create ingredient-first skincare uniquely formulated to address skin damage, promote skin regeneration and repair the skin barrier.

GF 15% Solution: age-support serum to help minimize and repair visible skin damage.

Retinal 0.2% Emulsion: high-strength retinoid that rapidly firms and smooths skin while noticeably reducing the appearance of dark spots.

Peptides: targeted molecules to help improve the look of multiple skin concerns like signs of aging and hair density.

When used together, they build a comprehensive approach to targeting and reversing skin damage, helping to restore your skin’s radiance.

How Growth Factors Repair Skin Damage

Growth factors are proteins naturally occurring in each and every one of our body’s cells; they play a vital role in healing and cell regeneration. As we age, our skin’s ability to produce growth factors lowers causing slower cell turnover and loss of structure.

EGF, IGF and TGFβ-2 are mimetic growth factors, designed to replicate the role your body’s natural growth factors play and support visible skin regeneration. This is where our GF 15% Solution comes in. Formulated with these three next-generation growth factors at 3x the concentration, it helps support aging skin, repair damage, and strengthen the skin barrier.

How Retinal Repairs Skin Damage

Every retinal is a retinoid but not every retinoid is a retinal. Retinoids are potent derivatives of vitamin A and include things like retinaldehyde, tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene, and more. Retinal is the most potent of the three retinoids found in our skincare. It’s a well-studied, effective ingredient for skin regeneration encouraging cell turnover to reveal healthier-looking skin.

Our Retinal 0.2% Emulsion is our highest strength formula for experienced users who want to target signs of aging. It helps refine skin texture, target uneven tone and boost luminosity for brighter, more even-looking skin.

Anti-Aging Features of Peptides

The Ordinary swatch

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that encourage the production of collagen, elastin, and keratin, fundamental molecules for maintaining skin structure, elasticity, and resilience. These proteins support healthy-looking skin, but their production slows with age. Using peptide-based skincare helps promote collagen and elastin production, helping firm and smooth the look of skin.

Our selection of peptide formulas are formulated to mimic the body’s natural processes to target and treat multiple skin concerns.

A Multi-Targeted Approach

Reversing skin damage is most effective with a multi-targeted approach. GF 15% Solution, Retinal 0.2% Emulsion, and a variety of peptide formulas each contribute uniquely to this process:

  1. Growth factors strengthen the skin barrier.
  2. Retinal supports cell turnover.
  3. Peptides help boost collagen production.

Using these ingredients in your skincare regimen — together or individually — can help effectively repair skin damage, support skin regeneration and improve your skin's natural radiance. They can provide a comprehensive solution for targeting the signs of aging for healthier-looking, radiant skin.
