Benefits of EGF: Wound Healing
Benefits of EGF: Wound Healing King says that growth factors have been of particular interest for topical products because of their ability to promote wound and ulcer healing when applied topically. One study highlighted how a serum containing recombinant EGF showed significant improvement to brown spots, skin texture, pore size, red spots and wrinkles, when applied twice daily over a three-month period. (Schouest JM, Liu TK, May RL. J Drugs Dermatol. 2012; 11(5): 613-620.)

Their wound-healing ability makes EGF products perfect after laser treatments, according to Vargas. The laser is meant to stimulate collagen production. This collagen boost combined with wound-healing EGF has a transformative effect. Similarly, Vargas adds that growth factors are helpful for repairing sun damage and skin mutations from environmental stress.
