Growth Factor Mimetic Peptides

Peptides, or peptide fragments of signaling proteins, used in cosmetics to reference growth-factor pathways such as EGF — for example, oligopeptide-1, the INCI name for human epidermal growth factor. Controlled human evidence is limited and is summarized per entry; grouping here is descriptive, not an endorsement.

Oligopeptide-1 (EGF)

Oligopeptide-1 is the cosmetic INCI name for human epidermal growth factor (EGF), a signaling protein used in some topical skincare products. Human and review evidence describes effects on skin thickness and appearance, but a systematic review cautions that controlled evidence remains limited.
