Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we are talking growth factors in skincare.. Have you tried them and what did you think, let me know below.. love you all x
I can attest to the firming effects of growth factors. Definitely feel more snatched up since I’ve been using them. I’ve been using Stratas Interface for about 6 months now. I’m happy with the results.
Yay I am so so glad its working for you Scott and I think the stratia one is just the perfect price point when you think of what your getting in it.. love xx
I have to say that after using the Stratia Interface cream and Rewind serum for about 2 weeks I seen a huge improvement in the firmness and lifting of my skin around the jawline and forehead!! It has to be the combination of the growth factors and the DMAE that are in those two serums, I know Interface is marketed as a cream, but to me it has the texture of a thicker serum but still moisturizes like a cream. Those two products are now staples in my routine!
i love growth factors / peptides / exosomes especially after microneedling, lasers, or any other procedure. many clinics offer them as an add-on to help speed up healing - but i use my own. another ingredient i use after procedures is PDRN/salmon DNA (i think this falls under exosome). there’s a pricey toner from HEVEBLUE that has PDRN but it feels almost wasteful unless there’s microchannels in my skin… the new purito wonder relief serum has centella vesicles / exosomes but a very small amount so not sure how much of an effect it has - but it’s cool seeing more companies adding these…
Hello. I would love to see a couple videos focusing on the recommended am vs pm routine at entry level/basic, what to add where in routine for a mid level/expanded version, and then also for an ultimate routine. Also, a video, or series, focusing on routine steps/items regarding where we can save money vs. where it's worth a splurge. Thank you so much for your dedication to all of us doing our best to understand what is real in the world of skincare!!
I have been using the Reedle shot 100 and the Reviv Ultimate serum and think my skin is looking really glowy, firm, etc. (I am 55) I would say it’s taken probably 3 to 4 months. And I do travel for work a fair amount and don’t bring them when traveling so I probably could ramp up my results if I used it twice a day everyday.
First of all, let me see your skin looks fantastic! I’m 65 years old so I definitely need this. I am going to get some growth factor and give it a go. We’ll see if there’s any change by Christmas.
I just finished a bottle of Reviv Serums Ultimate Serum and loving it. It’s packed with goodies like growth factors, phyto stem cells, peptides, probiotics and exosomes. It’s $99 so not cheap, but it’s 50 ml so a bit larger than some other growth factor products. Currently restocking for the 16th of this month, but I highly suggest!
Hi Rob❣️I’ve used two bottles of the Allies of skin serum but I didn’t really see or feel any difference. I might try again though as soon as there is a sale on here in Sweden.. I’m using the reedle shot 100 as well… and peptides and retinal and and and…😅 I only have one face 😂❤
Hey Rob😊 thanks for another great video! ❤ I'm definitely interested in the Stratia one, but it costs more in shipping from their website than the product itself 😂🙈🙈 why do I live outside of the central skincare community 😂🙈🙈🙈 As always, thank you for doing such a great job, and I love to see your videos 👏👏 being wiser, buying smarter ❤ Xo 🤗 from Denmark 🇩🇰 😍
Oh thank you so so much hun and I know how hard it can be to get some products in the EU and its such a shame, I hope international shipping will become a lot cheaper in the coming months.. love xx
@MadAboutSkin I do too 🤞🤞😍 looking forward to seeing your next videos 😍👏👏 at the moment I'm just waiting for my order from Stylevana to arrive so I can get started on my ekspanded k-beauty journey 😀 🤩🎉 Xo 🤗
Hi Rob. It's Malenthia. Long time no see my friend. I've been dealing with some things the past year so I have not been around much. I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown. You'll hit a million before you know it. ❤ Idk if you're still doing lives, but if you are I'll try to catch one.
OMG how lovely to hear from your hun.. I really hope all is wonderful with you and I am sorry to hear you have been dealing with things.. the lives are still running on every other Saturday but if you need anything at all hun reach out on FB or Insta as would love to hear from you.. love xxxxxx
Can you use growth factors under or perhaps over a retinol or retinal serum? And copper serum? I always do Vit C in the morning so I’d only be able to use the growth factors in the evening given you can’t use them with that ❤❤❤
I have used Skinmedica TNS and Calecim in the past and both are excellent. Will always include them. I will try Reviv next and do have the Stratia and will use the Stratia next to see how it compares.
Thank you for this very informative tutorial. I just requested this topic from you a few days ago and wow you delivered. I had no idea about growth factors and was totally clueless. Really appreciate your in-depth review. Halfway through this video I thought I'm probably not a good candidate for this type of product. My 60+ year old laugh lines are hard earned and no serum is going to erase them. By the end of the video, I'm thinking I might treat myself and give Allies of Skin a try. 😂 You're the best Rob!
I hit the bullet and finally buy the AoS GF Serum! I've only tried it twice so far but I'm soooo in love with the texture. My skin does agree with all other Allies of Skin's products so I have high hopes in this serum
Thanks so much for your extremely informative videos - I did splurge for the Allies GF and just started using it. Crossing fingers I see results. Was wondering if you have a recent video about layering skincare (I saw you have one from 3 years ago and not certain it is still valid) - Also wondering if you can say something about make-up primers and tinted moisturizers. Because I always wear those during the day on top of everything else!
Happy Monday Lesley (or is it Tuesday already there lol) - I love the interface as a moisturiser, its just perfect for my skin, especially in summer.. love xxxxx
I think this is the best way to be, explore with the cheaper options to see how your skin reacts with the ingredient and what results you get.. love xx
Hey Rob! Love your channel. You’re so fun to watch and have such a wealth of information on skincare. Which has been incredibly helpful dealing with my mature, dry sensitive skin! Just wondering what is better to use as a serum: the stratia interface peptide cream or the geek and gorgeous power peptides? Thanks ! From middle aged Martha in the 🇺🇸
Oh thank you so so much hun and your support means so much to me.. I like both of the products but for me I think the stratia has the best impact on firming and the geek and gorgeous the best for wrinkle reduction so it depends what your focus is.. hope that makes sense.. love x
Growh factors are big molecules over 500 Dalton rule. It has to pass through the follicle in order to have a chance at being active in the skin. Othervise are they just for hydration!? Just my thouts.😊
Future me says she's using the MAS growth factor serum 😉 Rob I just saw the e-mail with the products and I zoomed in and read all the labels and it's sooo well thought out. With the 6h on the SPF and the am/pm 2/7, the descriptions are on point for the formulations and the colors look so good!!! It feels like Christmas ❤
Oh thank you so so much hun.. I cant take all the credit as the branding team have done such a great job in making sure the products are as user friendly as they can be and they have been a joy to work with.. Watch this space for a MAS growth factors serum in the future :) love you xx
Andalou naturals (cruelty free) uses growth factors in some of their products. Not sure if it is the same type. I used to love their CC creams over the years, but stopped using them because of their strong scent that does disappear though. But I prefer light/ no scent right next to my nose on my face.
I love Andalou Naturals they are such a great brand and you can get them here in the UK in holland and Barrett which is super convenient so I will look out for their growth factors.. Hope all is wonderful with you hun.. love xx
Dr Dray here on RU-vid says if they work according to how they are theoretically supposed to, they could possibly contribute to proliferation of unhealthy cells. Dr. Kappel also advises against them due to her background in skin cancer surgery.
I think this is totally valid hun, I read some papers on them which looked at things over 12 months and didnt find any issue but I couldn't find anything more long term.. Love xx
I actually had quite the opposite. I had a difficult patch of skin on my lower neck that I just couldn’t repair. It wasn’t u til I tried the Slinmedoca TNS that it repairs in two weeks. I had this patch of odd scabby skin for over a year. I wasn’t trying. I was just wiping the excess serum down my neck. It really got my attention. I have no worries using growth factors. But I also use dna repair ( Photozyme) and Oneslin which also addresses cell senescence.
Okie contemplating the Allies if Skin pricey one as a bday gift for myself - can you use it as an eye serum? And if so would you put it on the brow bone or up to the lash line? Thank youuuuuu ❤❤❤❤
Hi hun, Happy Birthday to you :) and I think it would work well as an eye cream and you could even put it on the socket and lash line and it wont be an issue.. love x
Allies of skin is tremendous but wow EXPENSIVE!! So any other recommendations are appreciated ❤ I think I will use both Allies and Stratia together, stretching Allies? And def going to get the allies now plus free gift and discount. Thanks for providing the info and getting us the discount!!!!
I know what you mean hun, if it was half the price I would never use any other product.. I tend to mix the stratia and the allies using one on a morning and one on an evening for the means of reducing the cost lol.. love x
Super intrigued; ) will be checking into these Curious any thoughts on c60 in skin care? Ingredients in serum I was eyeing Carbon 60 99.95% Solvent-Free, Plant Stem Cells, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Amino Acids, Crithmum Maritum
Interesting thank you, love your sponsorship free opinions. The only gf I have tried is Dear Klairs, I think I liked it but was trying lots of other things so didn’t repurchase but will look at Stratia. Excited about your launch, I need to stock up on my favourites. ❤
Thank you so so much hun and thank you for all your support which means so much to me.. I cant wait for the launch on Friday its been a long time coming lol.. love x
Hello 👋🏽 my friend Rob, question are all peptides have firming properties? Are NGF the same as peptides? Where do you incorporate it into a skincare ritual. Great video. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
Oh great question hun.. no they are not but most peptides will have a benefit in the long term for skin firming, its just that some work better than others if that makes sense.. love you x
I think both is the answer if your budget stretches to it but you could always use GF in the morning and then copper peptides in the evening or the other way round.. love xx
I've tried Skinmedica advanced serum. Didn't do much for my skin. I tried Reviv advanced serum. It was great. It did for me what others say Skinmedica did for their skin. Then they reformulated it with Exosomes. All the improvements vanished. 😢. I'm 52 so maybe it would work for a younger person. Oh each growth factor ive tried always leaves me with a red dry spot somewhere on my skin. Bradceuticals is supposed to have a nice cheaper one
If you could sign up for the newsletter on the MAS website we will let you know when it’s available again. We do expect that it will be available “soon” but we don’t have a date for you at this tine
Since your post about exfoliating acids, I was wishing I picked up some mandelic acid in my recent Stylevanna order...so I mean that BOGOF and discount on Allies of Skin was a must 🙈 thanks Rob, that was a great offer! xx
@@MadAboutSkin sorry qq please 🙏🏻 can the growth factor serum and mandelic acid be used together of an evening?? I know peptides can degrade with some ingredients (thanks to you 🥰)x
Hi hun, I havent every used them with micro needling but I would think the cos de haha would be the best one to start with because of the texture.. love xx
Can you address rhe delivery system for peptides since they are so large? There are docs who say it is a waste unless you have a way of gettinf them into the skin to do their signalling job.
Hi hun, I dont think you can really overdo it with peptides so I think it should be fine.. have a go and see if it works for you as I think the two would pair well together.. love x
Oh thank you so so much hun and I am so delighted you love the new packaging, I am so happy with the colours and look so cant wait for it to be back in peoples routine.. love you x
While I appreciate your channel and all the posts you create… I need to ask… how is it possible you are able to review and post so many products in such small time intervals… ?
I want to give the Stratia Interface a try, but the formulation has copper peptides in it. So that would negatively interact with my vitamin C right? :c
Hey hun, yes one form but there are lots out there.. its very much a new thing in skincare so I hope more affordable options will hit the market in the coming months.. love xx
@@MadAboutSkin just got an email about your new skincare release?!! I can’t wait for it! I use your copper peptides all the time. Wanna get other new stuff
Like the Ordinary...I could never get over the sticky formulations from the Cos De Baha.... I remember...ages ago... their products...I get it; affordable, but just too sticky formulation.
Oh thank you so much hun.. these are actually my spare pare as I lost my main pair lol (found them again but found that I prefer the spare ones lol) love xx
Can I be a pest and ask if you have any other mid-range priced options? I’ve tried Interface but it breaks me out and there’s no danger I’m paying £150 for a serum 😅
Hi there - thanks for this great video - i have just started looking into EGFs and thought my only option was either K beauty or Allies of Skin! Is there anyone who lives in France who has ordered Stratia products and if so - are the duties crazy? I know how much our postman smiles when he delivers a parcel from outside france - "that will be 10 euros in tax please!!! was the tax on a £5 second hand book - can you imagine! thanks for any help with this.
I agree that the price is such a barrier for a lot of people which is why I am so glad Stratia exists to bring that price down in the market with a great product.. Hope all is wonderful with you.. love x
When I get notification of your new video - it makes my day so much better! The only Growth Factor I have tried is ZO Skin Care. A little pricey - but hey, I have to get a second job to support my skin care obsession! 😆
Didn't know I was already using it when I bought the Inkey List efg I get it for the vitamin C andb price point was great that was in it should I add it back to my routine cause I went to the Cos Rx 30% Vit.C
Did I just impulse purchase the AoS EGF serum? Maybe 😅 Did I bundle it with their Daily AO&Peptide Treatment plus a free Mandelic Acid treatment? Definitely 😎 (the discount code didn’t work with the bundle since it was already discounted?)
Haha I know that feeling lol.. its a shame the discount doesnt work with the bundle but like you say its already discounted so maybe thats why.. I hope you love the products.. love xx
