Science & Benefits

VEGF is a signaling protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) to improve nutrient delivery to the skin tissue. It acts as a revitalizing humectant by ensuring the dermis is well-supplied with the building blocks of hydration. While zero-comedogenic and safe, it should be used with caution by those with persistent facial redness or rosacea, as it can logically exacerbate vascular appearance. For 'gray' or fatigued acne-prone skin, it provides a vital 'boost' in skin health and hydration, facilitating faster repair of post-acne damage.
