Babyface Collagen Building Essential Serum with EGF & Marine Peptides - Skin Recovery Serum 1oz Dropper

I want to start by saying that I used to buy expensive anti aging creams and lotions, but with little result. I'd see brands advertising "buy this $200 serum, it's made with rare Tibetan moon cat flowers that bloom only once every 10 years" That's made up, but you know what I mean. I started thinking, why am I spending so much money on ingredients that are not proven to work?So I did some research, and it seems that the key ingredients you should be using are: exfoliates like AHA or BHA, antioxidants like vitamin c or green tea extract, moisturizer like hyaluronic acid and ceramides, and spf daily. Then there are some key skin restoring ingredients like retinol, niacinamides, peptides, and adenosine (ATP). There are a few other ingredients that I'm interested in, like EGF, matrixyl, DMAE and agireline. So once you know what ingredients you want, just search for them on Amazon to find affordable dupes for expensive products. Bonus points for products that contain multiple key ingredients!Now, onto this Babyface EGF serum. I've been using this product for over a month now, and have been very pleased. I'm a 33 year old white female with combination oily and acne prone skin. I've been noticing signs of aging such as some skin sagging and wrinkles, as well as uneven tone. Since using this serum, I have noticed an elimination of redness, dryness and irritation. My skin just seems calm, thicker, and overall healthier. If you're using retinal or acids, this acts like a nice soothing serum to speed healing. I apply the product rather generously to my whole face and even around my eyes. Again, it is very soothing and not irritating. With the amount I use, one bottle will last me two months. Because the product is basically made with seaweed, it does have a bit of an "oceany" smell, and a dark color. The smell fades quickly and doesn't bother me. Actually, I appreciate that they didn't try to mask the smell with skin irritating fragrances. As it dries, it creates a tightening film that does make your skin feel firm. Of course, it's only temporary, but I do like that as well.Overall, this serum is a winner, and I really want to try more of the baby face products that meet my qualifications of having the key ingredients I listed earlier. I plan to continue using and purchasing this.

I got this after watching a YouTube favorites video. It's a nice serum, and you don't need much. The bottle lasts awhile, so the price is ok. I didn't notice much of a difference after using it, so I probably won't repurchase. I would be open to trying other products from the company.

First of all , it was brown. Who wants to put the color brown on their face. It reminded me of (will not say). So I used it 3 times and threw it away. Who knows if it works or not..... Brenda P

I first heard about Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) from my dermtologist. Her office sells Skin Medica products...which I can't say anything bad about. But the SM product with EGF is $150.00. Being a 20+ year shopper on HSN I knew there were other great products out there that didn't cost so much. I didn't find what I wanted on HSN (at a reasonable cost) so I went to my second fav online store: Amazon. Now 25 bucks isn't alot to pay for an excellent serum but I'm used to paying less than $10 for top-of-the-line products on HSN (more about that later.) I'm 53 years old and have been using serums for 20 years now. My face and neck can rival skins 10 years younger at least. But this stuff upped the game. It took a month to see a difference; 28 days or so is the time interval for epidermal skin to shed the outer layer (skin layers basically move up and out. It's why exfoliation is important...to shed that outer dead skin layer and encourage growth.) This is not a superficial treatment; it works on the inner layers. So you need to give it time for the inner layers to work their way to the top. True: it doesn't smell great; it also doesn't have a fragrance as an ingredient and I like that. I do not smell it once it's seeped into my skin. I can't speak for the claims of it breaking out skin. It doesn't do that to mine but, as you know, all skins are not created equal. I'm a serum junkie! This one has moved to the top of my list. I use it around my eyes too. Don't forget your entire neck (front and back). Also, if you haven't been on HSN (or QVC) it's worth a try. My favs are Serious Skin Care, Dr. Jeanette Graff, and Elysee. I've tried several other brands that I love but simply had to whittle down the list. If you buy kits you can get 8+ products for 50-90 bucks. These products are absolutely top of the line; the companies just sell through a different avenue: no advertising cost, no real estate on a department floor or drug store shelf cost. This Babyface product is the only one I do not get from HSN and, per item, is the most I pay. But I love it!

I like the product just fine, despite the horrible smell when putting it on. you have to use lotion after anyway because it's a drying feel after putting on, so the smell is then gone. the seller always says only 3 left though, every time I've ordered, so don't let that fool you - shady to do business that way, but otherwise they are a good seller.

seems to work! I have been using this for a few weeks (two), and I noticed that my face looks better overall. I use this immediately after washing my face, and I feel the skin is tightening quite hard. I follow with a moisturizer, and then makeup. Like I said I love it, didn't think it will work this well.I will buy more of this in the future!

I tried it a few times in June and it was useless so I put it aside. I wanted to try it again in January but was surprised that it has turned bad. It stinks. Seller said there is nothing they can do. I'll use it in the backyard as fertilizer. Do not waste your money. I would not recommend this product.
