Barley plant DNA is the key to a new 'miracle' serum - but can it REALLY turn back the clock?
Prepare yourself for the new must-have skincare ingredient. ‘Oh no,’ I hear you sigh. ‘Not another one?’ But bear with me. This one is so effective that using just one drop, twice a day, can make your skin look hugely better within just six weeks.
Since a serum containing this ingredient launched in Iceland six months ago, it has proved such a sensation that one in five women there have abandoned their normal skincare in favour of this miraculous stuff.
The product is called Bioeffect and its magic ingredient is EGF, or Epidermal Growth Factor, to give it its full name.
The substance was first identified in 1986 in a piece of scientific research considered so significant that the scientist behind it won the Nobel Prize for his work.
EGF is a molecule that occurs naturally in skin. We have more of it when we’re younger; less of it when we’re older.
It’s known for its healing effects on burned skin, and for its ability to rejuvenate healthy skin by speeding up the rate at which the skin cells renew themselves.
This is what makes EGF possibly the most potent anti-ageing ingredient available. Put simply: when you apply it to ageing skin cells, it can make them behave like young ones.
So what is it actually going to do for your face?

What's so good about personal beauty lasers?
What's so bad about surgery? Why shouldn't I inject poisons into my body? Who cares if it gives me cancer or makes me infertile as long as I look young? Must we suffer to be beautiful? Or will a cosmetic laser treatment fix everything safely and painlessly?
What is Low Level Laser Therapy?
"Low Level Laser Therapy or Laser Phototherapy is a method where light from a laser is applied to tissue (or cells in culture) in order to influence cell or tissue functions with such low light intensity that heating is negligible. The effects achieved are hence not due to heating but to photochemical or photobiologic reactions like the effect of light in plants. The lasers used are normally referred to as therapeutic lasers." Swedish Laser Medical Society
Low Level Laser Therapy is widely used in hospitals and clinics around the world to treat and cure a number of conditions including pain relief, problematic skin conditions and to promote healing in wounds or injuries.
Low Level Laser Therapy is beneficial in repairing damaged cells and speeds up and enhances the response of the body’s immune system as well as aiding pain relief. That is why it is so effective when used for skin rejuvenation and healing acne and skin blemishes - it restores the skin to a healthy, more youthful condition.
Also, if you are suffering from hair loss, low level laser therapy can help to stimulate the hair follicles into action again, resulting in new hair growth and healthier hair. Amazing but true.
I had a free sample which I tried for 2 weeks. It was lovely to use, although I didn't really see any amazing effect but that is probably because I only had enough for 2 weeks. I didn't need any other treatments and I would have bought some if it hadn't been so expensive. I will have to stick with Neal's Yard facial oils instead. Or buy a skin laser!
ReplyDeleteI got a sample also. I really really liked it. Its a bit pricy but worth it.
ReplyDeleteDid you buy it? I thought £125 was a bit too much to pay without seeing miraculous results which I didn't. I just liked it a lot but it didn't seem to do any more than my normal night treatments.
