EGF Frequently Asked Questions.
BIOEFFECT EGF Serum is an award-winning oil-free, water-based, anti-aging serum that contains only 7 pure ingredients. It is the first serum to feature a plant-based EGF produced in barley using a process invented by BIOEFFECT scientists. Our Barley EGF is a sustainable, renewable ingredient produced in our high-tech greenhouse powered by geothermal energy. Barley EGF is a moisture-binding, skin-rejuvenating, and signaling protein, which helps support the skin’s natural collagen production and is essential for keeping skin looking smooth, healthy, and youthful.
BIOEFFECT EGF Serum is designed to target visible signs of aging and rejuvenate the skin’s complexion with just 2-4 drops daily. External and in-house studies show a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and visible improvements in the firmness of skin.
Apply 2-4 drops to the face and neck on clean skin, for best results use 2x per day (e.g., day and night). You can maximize results, by adding in additional EGF skincare products, as Barley EGF does its best work in a moisture-rich environment. Try adding the EGF Essence or OSA Water Mist prior to applying the EGF Serum or add the Imprinting Hydrogel Mask on top after applying the serum. If using with other skincare products (non-BIOEFFECT), we recommend applying the serum on clean skin and waiting up to 10 minutes for absorption and efficacy of the Barley EGF without any interference.

BIOEFFECT EGF Serum features a plant-based EGF produced in Barley to combat the visible aging effects from loss EGF found naturally in our skin. By the time we are in our 20's, the natural production of EGF is already starting to decrease. This decrease significantly contributes to slower cell turnover and repair, eventually affecting our skin's youthful appearance – skin starts to sag, and fine lines and wrinkles appear. Barley EGF is a moisture-binding, skin-rejuvenating, and signaling protein, which helps support the skin’s natural collagen production and is essential for keeping skin looking smooth, healthy, and youthful. Studies of the EGF Serum applied topically over 3 and 6 months have shown a significant reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.
No. BIOEFFECT Epidermal Growth Factor Serum is a fantastic moisturizer in its own right. It is possible that fatty/oily substances in traditional night creams may reduce the efficacy of the Barley EGF, we therefore recommend using the Epidermal Growth Factor Serum alone during the night. However, if you would like to use other cream on top, it would be best to wait from 10 to 20 minutes before applying the next product in your skincare regimen.
We recommend using BIOEFFECT EGF Body Serum on the body. It has been specially developed to help smooth, soften and firm the appearance of the body's skin. BIOEFFECT EGF Serum can nevertheless be used on the body, although it was specifically formulated to target the delicate skin of the face and neck.

Yes, many users prefer to apply the serum on clean skin in the morning and some use it both day and night. It is advisable not to apply makeup or any other products within 10 minutes of using BIOEFFECT EGF Serum, as it may interfere with the EGF. The serum does not contain any sun protection, so we do recommend using a sunscreen to protect from harmful UV rays. If you find the EGF Serum leaves more of a residue or sticky feeling than you would like during the day, try our EGF Day Serum which is a lighter weight formulation.
You do not need to use both the EGF Serum and EGF Day Serum, it is a matter of preference. We created the EGF Day Serum as a lighter weight formulation, more suitable to daytime use under makeup. However, many customers prefer the original EGF Serum and use it both morning and night. However, we do recommend for best results, to apply our EGF Serums 2x per day.
Our Barley EGF works best in a moisture-rich environment. Therefore, you can maximize results by incorporating the EGF Serum into a complete EGF skincare routine. Start by prepping the skin with the OSA Water Mist or EGF Essence to improve absorption and efficacy of the EGF Serum. Further enhance results by adding the Imprinting Hydrogel Mask after applying the EGF Serum. Give your skin an intensive boost with the BIOEFFECT 30 Day Treatment which is like an anti-aging boot camp for your skin. Replace the EGF Serum with the 30 Day Treatment 3-5 times per year depending on your skin needs. See significant visible results in 30 days when applied morning and night. Complement your EGF regimen with our EGF Eye Serum specifically formulated to target the delicate skin of the eye area, with a cooling roller applicator to reduce the appearance of fine lines and puffiness.
If the serum is applied on the face and neck once a day, a 15 mL vial should last about three months. Start with 2 drops and increase to 4 if needed. If you experience too much residue or a sticky feeling, it means you are applying too much on the skin.
