Oligopeptide-1

How it works

Human EGF, epidermal growth factor, a whole 53-amino-acid protein, sold in serums to make skin regenerate the way a wound closes.

What it's made of

53 amino acids: human EGF, a whole protein, not an “oligopeptide.” It is made in bacteria, yeast or plants with a gene identical to the human one.

What it's for

Prescribed for

Nothing: it is a cosmetic.

Sold as

A human growth factor that regenerates the skin, like when a wound closes.
