I have to say that after using the Stratia Interface cream and Rewind serum for about 2 weeks I seen a huge improvement in the firmness and lifting of my skin around the jawline and forehead!! It has to be the combination of the growth factors and the DMAE that are in those two serums, I know Interface is marketed as a cream, but to me it has the texture of a thicker serum but still moisturizes like a cream. Those two products are now staples in my routine!
i love growth factors / peptides / exosomes especially after microneedling, lasers, or any other procedure. many clinics offer them as an add-on to help speed up healing - but i use my own. another ingredient i use after procedures is PDRN/salmon DNA (i think this falls under exosome). there’s a pricey toner from HEVEBLUE that has PDRN but it feels almost wasteful unless there’s microchannels in my skin… the new purito wonder relief serum has centella vesicles / exosomes but a very small amount so not sure how much of an effect it has - but it’s cool seeing more companies adding these…
I can attest to the firming effects of growth factors. Definitely feel more snatched up since I’ve been using them. I’ve been using Stratas Interface for about 6 months now. I’m happy with the results.
Yay I am so so glad its working for you Scott and I think the stratia one is just the perfect price point when you think of what your getting in it.. love xx
I have been using the Reedle shot 100 and the Reviv Ultimate serum and think my skin is looking really glowy, firm, etc. (I am 55) I would say it’s taken probably 3 to 4 months. And I do travel for work a fair amount and don’t bring them when traveling so I probably could ramp up my results if I used it twice a day everyday.
I just finished a bottle of Reviv Serums Ultimate Serum and loving it. It’s packed with goodies like growth factors, phyto stem cells, peptides, probiotics and exosomes. It’s $99 so not cheap, but it’s 50 ml so a bit larger than some other growth factor products. Currently restocking for the 16th of this month, but I highly suggest!
Hello. I would love to see a couple videos focusing on the recommended am vs pm routine at entry level/basic, what to add where in routine for a mid level/expanded version, and then also for an ultimate routine. Also, a video, or series, focusing on routine steps/items regarding where we can save money vs. where it's worth a splurge. Thank you so much for your dedication to all of us doing our best to understand what is real in the world of skincare!!
Hi Rob❣️I’ve used two bottles of the Allies of skin serum but I didn’t really see or feel any difference. I might try again though as soon as there is a sale on here in Sweden.. I’m using the reedle shot 100 as well… and peptides and retinal and and and…😅 I only have one face 😂❤
First of all, let me see your skin looks fantastic! I’m 65 years old so I definitely need this. I am going to get some growth factor and give it a go. We’ll see if there’s any change by Christmas.
Can you use growth factors under or perhaps over a retinol or retinal serum? And copper serum? I always do Vit C in the morning so I’d only be able to use the growth factors in the evening given you can’t use them with that ❤❤❤
Thank you for this very informative tutorial. I just requested this topic from you a few days ago and wow you delivered. I had no idea about growth factors and was totally clueless. Really appreciate your in-depth review. Halfway through this video I thought I'm probably not a good candidate for this type of product. My 60+ year old laugh lines are hard earned and no serum is going to erase them. By the end of the video, I'm thinking I might treat myself and give Allies of Skin a try. 😂 You're the best Rob!
Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we are talking growth factors in skincare.. Have you tried them and what did you think, let me know below.. love you all x
I have used Skinmedica TNS and Calecim in the past and both are excellent. Will always include them. I will try Reviv next and do have the Stratia and will use the Stratia next to see how it compares.
Hey Rob😊 thanks for another great video! ❤ I'm definitely interested in the Stratia one, but it costs more in shipping from their website than the product itself 😂🙈🙈 why do I live outside of the central skincare community 😂🙈🙈🙈 As always, thank you for doing such a great job, and I love to see your videos 👏👏 being wiser, buying smarter ❤ Xo 🤗 from Denmark 🇩🇰 😍
Oh thank you so so much hun and I know how hard it can be to get some products in the EU and its such a shame, I hope international shipping will become a lot cheaper in the coming months.. love xx
@MadAboutSkin I do too 🤞🤞😍 looking forward to seeing your next videos 😍👏👏 at the moment I'm just waiting for my order from Stylevana to arrive so I can get started on my ekspanded k-beauty journey 😀 🤩🎉 Xo 🤗
Growh factors are big molecules over 500 Dalton rule. It has to pass through the follicle in order to have a chance at being active in the skin. Othervise are they just for hydration!? Just my thouts.😊
Happy Monday Lesley (or is it Tuesday already there lol) - I love the interface as a moisturiser, its just perfect for my skin, especially in summer.. love xxxxx
I think this is the best way to be, explore with the cheaper options to see how your skin reacts with the ingredient and what results you get.. love xx
Thanks so much for your extremely informative videos - I did splurge for the Allies GF and just started using it. Crossing fingers I see results. Was wondering if you have a recent video about layering skincare (I saw you have one from 3 years ago and not certain it is still valid) - Also wondering if you can say something about make-up primers and tinted moisturizers. Because I always wear those during the day on top of everything else!
Andalou naturals (cruelty free) uses growth factors in some of their products. Not sure if it is the same type. I used to love their CC creams over the years, but stopped using them because of their strong scent that does disappear though. But I prefer light/ no scent right next to my nose on my face.
I love Andalou Naturals they are such a great brand and you can get them here in the UK in holland and Barrett which is super convenient so I will look out for their growth factors.. Hope all is wonderful with you hun.. love xx
Hi Rob. It's Malenthia. Long time no see my friend. I've been dealing with some things the past year so I have not been around much. I'm so happy to see how much your channel has grown. You'll hit a million before you know it. ❤ Idk if you're still doing lives, but if you are I'll try to catch one.
OMG how lovely to hear from your hun.. I really hope all is wonderful with you and I am sorry to hear you have been dealing with things.. the lives are still running on every other Saturday but if you need anything at all hun reach out on FB or Insta as would love to hear from you.. love xxxxxx
I hit the bullet and finally buy the AoS GF Serum! I've only tried it twice so far but I'm soooo in love with the texture. My skin does agree with all other Allies of Skin's products so I have high hopes in this serum
Future me says she's using the MAS growth factor serum 😉 Rob I just saw the e-mail with the products and I zoomed in and read all the labels and it's sooo well thought out. With the 6h on the SPF and the am/pm 2/7, the descriptions are on point for the formulations and the colors look so good!!! It feels like Christmas ❤
Oh thank you so so much hun.. I cant take all the credit as the branding team have done such a great job in making sure the products are as user friendly as they can be and they have been a joy to work with.. Watch this space for a MAS growth factors serum in the future :) love you xx
Hey Rob! Love your channel. You’re so fun to watch and have such a wealth of information on skincare. Which has been incredibly helpful dealing with my mature, dry sensitive skin! Just wondering what is better to use as a serum: the stratia interface peptide cream or the geek and gorgeous power peptides? Thanks ! From middle aged Martha in the 🇺🇸
Oh thank you so so much hun and your support means so much to me.. I like both of the products but for me I think the stratia has the best impact on firming and the geek and gorgeous the best for wrinkle reduction so it depends what your focus is.. hope that makes sense.. love x
Super intrigued; ) will be checking into these Curious any thoughts on c60 in skin care? Ingredients in serum I was eyeing Carbon 60 99.95% Solvent-Free, Plant Stem Cells, Vitamin C, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Amino Acids, Crithmum Maritum
Okie contemplating the Allies if Skin pricey one as a bday gift for myself - can you use it as an eye serum? And if so would you put it on the brow bone or up to the lash line? Thank youuuuuu ❤❤❤❤
Hi hun, Happy Birthday to you :) and I think it would work well as an eye cream and you could even put it on the socket and lash line and it wont be an issue.. love x
Hello 👋🏽 my friend Rob, question are all peptides have firming properties? Are NGF the same as peptides? Where do you incorporate it into a skincare ritual. Great video. Thank you 😊. Cheers 😉🌷
Oh great question hun.. no they are not but most peptides will have a benefit in the long term for skin firming, its just that some work better than others if that makes sense.. love you x
I think both is the answer if your budget stretches to it but you could always use GF in the morning and then copper peptides in the evening or the other way round.. love xx
Hi hun, I havent every used them with micro needling but I would think the cos de haha would be the best one to start with because of the texture.. love xx
I've tried Skinmedica advanced serum. Didn't do much for my skin. I tried Reviv advanced serum. It was great. It did for me what others say Skinmedica did for their skin. Then they reformulated it with Exosomes. All the improvements vanished. 😢. I'm 52 so maybe it would work for a younger person. Oh each growth factor ive tried always leaves me with a red dry spot somewhere on my skin. Bradceuticals is supposed to have a nice cheaper one
Dr Dray here on UA-cam says if they work according to how they are theoretically supposed to, they could possibly contribute to proliferation of unhealthy cells. Dr. Kappel also advises against them due to her background in skin cancer surgery.
I think this is totally valid hun, I read some papers on them which looked at things over 12 months and didnt find any issue but I couldn't find anything more long term.. Love xx
I actually had quite the opposite. I had a difficult patch of skin on my lower neck that I just couldn’t repair. It wasn’t u til I tried the Slinmedoca TNS that it repairs in two weeks. I had this patch of odd scabby skin for over a year. I wasn’t trying. I was just wiping the excess serum down my neck. It really got my attention. I have no worries using growth factors. But I also use dna repair ( Photozyme) and Oneslin which also addresses cell senescence.
Can you address rhe delivery system for peptides since they are so large? There are docs who say it is a waste unless you have a way of gettinf them into the skin to do their signalling job.
Allies of skin is tremendous but wow EXPENSIVE!! So any other recommendations are appreciated ❤ I think I will use both Allies and Stratia together, stretching Allies? And def going to get the allies now plus free gift and discount. Thanks for providing the info and getting us the discount!!!!
I know what you mean hun, if it was half the price I would never use any other product.. I tend to mix the stratia and the allies using one on a morning and one on an evening for the means of reducing the cost lol.. love x
@@MadAboutSkin just got an email about your new skincare release?!! I can’t wait for it! I use your copper peptides all the time. Wanna get other new stuff
If you could sign up for the newsletter on the MAS website we will let you know when it’s available again. We do expect that it will be available “soon” but we don’t have a date for you at this tine
Hey hun, yes one form but there are lots out there.. its very much a new thing in skincare so I hope more affordable options will hit the market in the coming months.. love xx
I want to give the Stratia Interface a try, but the formulation has copper peptides in it. So that would negatively interact with my vitamin C right? :c
Hi hun, I dont think you can really overdo it with peptides so I think it should be fine.. have a go and see if it works for you as I think the two would pair well together.. love x
Since your post about exfoliating acids, I was wishing I picked up some mandelic acid in my recent Stylevanna order...so I mean that BOGOF and discount on Allies of Skin was a must 🙈 thanks Rob, that was a great offer! xx
@@MadAboutSkin sorry qq please 🙏🏻 can the growth factor serum and mandelic acid be used together of an evening?? I know peptides can degrade with some ingredients (thanks to you 🥰)x
Oh thank you so much hun.. these are actually my spare pare as I lost my main pair lol (found them again but found that I prefer the spare ones lol) love xx
Can I be a pest and ask if you have any other mid-range priced options? I’ve tried Interface but it breaks me out and there’s no danger I’m paying £150 for a serum 😅
Like the Ordinary...I could never get over the sticky formulations from the Cos De Baha.... I remember...ages ago... their products...I get it; affordable, but just too sticky formulation.
Interesting thank you, love your sponsorship free opinions. The only gf I have tried is Dear Klairs, I think I liked it but was trying lots of other things so didn’t repurchase but will look at Stratia. Excited about your launch, I need to stock up on my favourites. ❤
Thank you so so much hun and thank you for all your support which means so much to me.. I cant wait for the launch on Friday its been a long time coming lol.. love x
Hi there - thanks for this great video - i have just started looking into EGFs and thought my only option was either K beauty or Allies of Skin! Is there anyone who lives in France who has ordered Stratia products and if so - are the duties crazy? I know how much our postman smiles when he delivers a parcel from outside france - "that will be 10 euros in tax please!!! was the tax on a £5 second hand book - can you imagine! thanks for any help with this.
Oh thank you so so much hun and I am so delighted you love the new packaging, I am so happy with the colours and look so cant wait for it to be back in peoples routine.. love you x
While I appreciate your channel and all the posts you create… I need to ask… how is it possible you are able to review and post so many products in such small time intervals… ?
I agree that the price is such a barrier for a lot of people which is why I am so glad Stratia exists to bring that price down in the market with a great product.. Hope all is wonderful with you.. love x
Didn't know I was already using it when I bought the Inkey List efg I get it for the vitamin C andb price point was great that was in it should I add it back to my routine cause I went to the Cos Rx 30% Vit.C
When I get notification of your new video - it makes my day so much better! The only Growth Factor I have tried is ZO Skin Care. A little pricey - but hey, I have to get a second job to support my skin care obsession! 😆
Did I just impulse purchase the AoS EGF serum? Maybe 😅 Did I bundle it with their Daily AO&Peptide Treatment plus a free Mandelic Acid treatment? Definitely 😎 (the discount code didn’t work with the bundle since it was already discounted?)
Haha I know that feeling lol.. its a shame the discount doesnt work with the bundle but like you say its already discounted so maybe thats why.. I hope you love the products.. love xx
I’ve never tried growth factors, but want to try your top recommendation. I’m 72 & I don’t have time to waste!! 😂
Haha if it was just half the price I would be bathing in the stuff lol.. Hope all is amazing with you xx
I love growth factors but I heard people say they’re not safe in the long run
I've never tried growth factors either. I'm 75 but still want to look my best. Never had any procedures and most likely, never will.
75 Next Month and I’m trying to get something done before it’s impossible 😂! I will never have any procedures done either.
Happy Monday everyone and hope we all have a great week

@@hilarysimpson4674 I completely agree with you. Interface along with Rewind do wonders for my 52-year-old skin. Glad you’re seeing results too.
Stratia is crazy underrated. Really powerful formulations for the price points.
i love growth factors / peptides / exosomes especially after microneedling, lasers, or any other procedure. many clinics offer them as an add-on to help speed up healing - but i use my own.
another ingredient i use after procedures is PDRN/salmon DNA (i think this falls under exosome). there’s a pricey toner from HEVEBLUE that has PDRN but it feels almost wasteful unless there’s microchannels in my skin…
the new purito wonder relief serum has centella vesicles / exosomes but a very small amount so not sure how much of an effect it has - but it’s cool seeing more companies adding these…

I had this patch of odd scabby skin for over a year. I wasn’t trying. I was just wiping the excess serum down my neck. It really got my attention. I have no worries using growth factors. But I also use dna repair ( Photozyme) and Oneslin which also addresses cell senescence.
Please make MAS growth factor serum or anti pigmentation serum from ur skin care line
Oh I would love to so watch this space x
Can you address rhe delivery system for peptides since they are so large? There are docs who say it is a waste unless you have a way of gettinf them into the skin to do their signalling job.
How long does the allies of skin growth factor serum last if you use it am/pm
Hi hun I would say 6-8 weeks if you use one pump twice a day.. love x
Allies of skin is tremendous but wow EXPENSIVE!! So any other recommendations are appreciated ❤ I think I will use both Allies and Stratia together, stretching Allies? And def going to get the allies now plus free gift and discount. Thanks for providing the info and getting us the discount!!!!
I know what you mean hun, if it was half the price I would never use any other product.. I tend to mix the stratia and the allies using one on a morning and one on an evening for the means of reducing the cost lol.. love x
Sorry what was the second serum you mentioned? I got the Cos De Baha but can’t see the second one in your notes section?
❤❤❤
Its the stratia interface one :) I think its the best all round for the price point .. love you x
@@MadAboutSkin just got an email about your new skincare release?!! I can’t wait for it! I use your copper peptides all the time. Wanna get other new stuff
Great information. Just to make things more confusing, I'm looking into getting a DNA product to reverse damage. With DNA repair enzymes.
Haha I know what you mean about confusing as there is so much out there.. love x
Hi Rob! Do you know when you'll have more of your Copper Peptide serum available for sele on your website? Thank you so much!
If you could sign up for the newsletter on the MAS website we will let you know when it’s available again. We do expect that it will be available “soon” but we don’t have a date for you at this tine
OK, I'm still learning this stuff... so copper peptides are just one growth peptide, correct?
Hey hun, yes one form but there are lots out there.. its very much a new thing in skincare so I hope more affordable options will hit the market in the coming months.. love xx
I want to give the Stratia Interface a try, but the formulation has copper peptides in it. So that would negatively interact with my vitamin C right? :c
Because of the formulation and the suspension you should be fine with this.. love x
Thanks so much for this video! I've been using the inkey growth factor and vit C. Based on what you've said, is that not a good combination?!
I think it should be ok if the brand have formulated them together as I think thats a weak vitamin c.. have you found it works for you? love x
@@MadAboutSkin honestly I use so many other products that I'm not sure what works and what doesn't! I'm in desperate need of a streamlined routine! X
Thank you Rob! Gf was something I had no knowledge on :)
Glad the video came in useful hun.. love xx
Hi Rob, i use the CosRx 6 peptide booster in the am. Can i use the stratia as well or is this too much peptide dosage
Hi hun, I dont think you can really overdo it with peptides so I think it should be fine.. have a go and see if it works for you as I think the two would pair well together.. love x
How long does the allies of skin serum last you?
I only use on pump on the face and so I would say 2 months.. love xx
Since your post about exfoliating acids, I was wishing I picked up some mandelic acid in my recent Stylevanna order...so I mean that BOGOF and discount on Allies of Skin was a must 🙈 thanks Rob, that was a great offer! xx
My pleasure hun and I can never resist a bargain lol.. love xx
@@MadAboutSkin sorry qq please 🙏🏻 can the growth factor serum and mandelic acid be used together of an evening?? I know peptides can degrade with some ingredients (thanks to you 🥰)x
Great question and because of how they are formulated they can be used together which is great 👍
@@MadAboutSkin great stuff, thank you!
Hi Rob! What's your opinion on VT - Reedle Shot Synergy Repair Cream? Has 9 growth factors...
Love their products, I am trying out the whole line and been so impressed.. love x
GFs have not been on my radar, but maybe they should be! xx
PS Love the glasses frames. Are they new? xx
Oh thank you so much hun.. these are actually my spare pare as I lost my main pair lol (found them again but found that I prefer the spare ones lol) love xx
Can you use growth factor with tretinoin?
yes you can hun xx
I’d appreciate it if you could give the cruelty free status of the products you talk about x
All the products spoken about on the channel are cruelty free unless otherwise stated.. hope this helps.. love x
Fantastic good to know x
Can I be a pest and ask if you have any other mid-range priced options? I’ve tried Interface but it breaks me out and there’s no danger I’m paying £150 for a serum 😅
Like the Ordinary...I could never get over the sticky formulations from the Cos De Baha....
I remember...ages ago... their products...I get it; affordable, but just too sticky formulation.
I do know what you mean, I think some of the more affordable skincare serums out there have a little less elegant application which is a shame xx
Interesting thank you, love your sponsorship free opinions. The only gf I have tried is Dear Klairs, I think I liked it but was trying lots of other things so didn’t repurchase but will look at Stratia. Excited about your launch, I need to stock up on my favourites. ❤
Thank you so so much hun and thank you for all your support which means so much to me.. I cant wait for the launch on Friday its been a long time coming lol.. love x
Hi there - thanks for this great video - i have just started looking into EGFs and thought my only option was either K beauty or Allies of Skin!
Is there anyone who lives in France who has ordered Stratia products and if so - are the duties crazy? I know how much our postman smiles when he delivers a parcel from outside france - "that will be 10 euros in tax please!!! was the tax on a £5 second hand book - can you imagine!
thanks for any help with this.
I always learn from you. Thank you. Got your email. 🤩 Love the new packaging.💗💖
Oh thank you so so much hun and I am so delighted you love the new packaging, I am so happy with the colours and look so cant wait for it to be back in peoples routine.. love you x
What about the Coxir egf peptide serum. Noone talks about it...
I love it, I dont think its quite as good a formulation as the stratia one but better than the cos de baha ... love x
@@MadAboutSkin oh cool. Thanks for that cos I want the Allies most but the budget is not stretching!
What about human stem cell growth factors … such as used in Skinmedica, Anteage, Rajani MD and others use human cell media.
I like them but I need to try out more of them for sure x
Coxir EGF intensive peptide serum $15
I love this one.. I think the price point for it is great xx
While I appreciate your channel and all the posts you create… I need to ask… how is it possible you are able to review and post so many products in such small time intervals… ?
Happy Monday Rob
Happy Monday hun xx
You look like you've lost weight! Looking fab 👍
Oh thank you so much hun thats very kind of you to say.. sending you lots of love x
SkinMedicas's TNS Recovery has a slightly higher percentage of growth factor then Allies of Skin
Thank you so much for the heads up, I will check that one out x
I wanted to order the Allies of skin, but the free product is now a lip balm! Bummer
Oh thats a bummer, they must have just changed that... its a shame as the mandelic is wonderful.. love x
@@MadAboutSkinI hear that the lip balm is great as well
I do love the lip balm.. not quite as generous as the free mandelic but still a great offer
Love you tom xx
I love the ZO skin health growth factors.
I do need to check that one out.. love xx
❤❤
Thank you so so much hun.. sending you lots of love x
I've never tried growth factors. The price was off putting and the science was sketchy at the beginning.
I agree that the price is such a barrier for a lot of people which is why I am so glad Stratia exists to bring that price down in the market with a great product.. Hope all is wonderful with you.. love x
First?
Wow super quick, king of click for a new week.. love x
🌸
Love xx
Thanks hon for the info
My pleasure hun and thank you so much for watching xx
Calecim
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts x
The mentioned offer in allies of skin is gone 😢
Thats such a shame :( thank you for letting me know.. love x
Didn't know I was already using it when I bought the Inkey List efg I get it for the vitamin C andb price point was great that was in it should I add it back to my routine cause I went to the Cos Rx 30% Vit.C
yeah the inkey one is a great affordable option for sure.. love x
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
Sending you so so much love x
Aproaching 40? U look 26
Oh thank you so much hun thats so kind of you to say.. sending you so so much love x
When I get notification of your new video - it makes my day so much better! The only Growth Factor I have tried is ZO Skin Care. A little pricey - but hey, I have to get a second job to support my skin care obsession! 😆
Oh thank you so so much hun, your support means so much to me and sending you so much love x
YES! ZIIP Golden gel & Stratia Interface serum because of one of your post 🫶🏼
Yay I am so so glad they are working so well for you hun.. love xxxxxxx
Did I just impulse purchase the AoS EGF serum? Maybe 😅 Did I bundle it with their Daily AO&Peptide Treatment plus a free Mandelic Acid treatment? Definitely 😎
(the discount code didn’t work with the bundle since it was already discounted?)
Haha I know that feeling lol.. its a shame the discount doesnt work with the bundle but like you say its already discounted so maybe thats why.. I hope you love the products.. love xx
