This is the one we reach for after a course of treatment, when the skin has responded and the job is holding on to the result. EGF works with the skin's own repair signalling rather than forcing it, so it suits people who react to retinol. It is a considered purchase at this price, and it earns that over months rather than weeks.

Common questions
The epidermal growth factor in this formula is vegan and synthesised in a laboratory, not derived from human or animal sources. It mimics a protein the skin already makes. It is well tolerated, including by sensitive skin.
Yes, and it is often the reason we suggest it. The Phyto-Retinol Complex is a plant-based alternative, so you get a firming route without the sensitivity that conventional retinol can bring.
Comfort and brightness come first, usually within a fortnight. Firmness and fine lines take longer, and most people are looking at eight to twelve weeks of consistent use.
It is the most concentrated firming moisturiser in the Glo range and a considered purchase. If you are not already using a daily SPF, spend there first. SPF protects the result this cream is working towards.
