About FGF (Fibroblast Growth Factor)

Growth-factor-style proteins in premium repair serums—cousin category to EGF, aimed at fibroblast signaling.

Fibroblast growth factors are signaling proteins that support cell growth and repair pathways. In cosmetics you may see them as sh-polypeptides or “FGF” complexes in barrier-repair and post-procedure products. Evidence is weaker than retinoids; they are niche premium actives, not drug-grade wound therapies.
