According to a study conducted by the world-renowned dermatologist and skin doctor Dr. Ron Moy, it has been confirmed that the popular anti-aging skincare product BIOEFFECT EGF SERUM by Iceland-based Sif Cosmetics, significantly improves the look of aging skin.

The study, published in this month’s issue of the Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, confirms that the BIOEFFECT EGF SERUM significantly improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, pore size, and various dyschromatic conditions.

The confirming article, entitled “Improved texture and appearance of human skin after daily topical application of barley produced, synthetic, human-like epidermal growth factor (EGF) Serum”, shows Dr Moy’s three-months findings, conducted on 29 women aged 39-75, demonstrated that 100% of participants saw a noticeable improvement in the appearance of their skin. After two months of use, respondents reported 44% reduction in wrinkles, 58% improvement in overall skin texture, 42% reduction in apparent pore size and 42% improvement in brown spots (pigmentation).

In an interview on Icelandic TV news, Dr. Moy said that the results were the best he has seen during his 30 years of practice: “The EGF SERUM is by far more impressive than anything I’ve seen for ageing or for tightening. In fact, it rivals some of the procedures we do to tighten skin,” Dr. Moy said.

The active ingredient in BIOEFFECT EGF SERUM is Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF), a skin protein well known for its ability to trigger cell renewal, assist in wound healing and initiate the production of collagen and elastin in the skin. The EGF of the BIOEFFECT EGF SERUM is produced by copying the human EGF gene into barley. The resulting barley plants produce EGF which has the same activity as EGF in human skin. This green biotechnology bypasses the risk of including bacterial endotoxins associated with conventional production of EGF in bacteria and ensures sufficient quantities of pure, active and stable EGF for use in BIOEFFECT skin care products. BIOEFFECT EGF SERUM is the world’s first skin care product to contain EGF made in plants.
