What the gurus are saying

Experts who tested this serum found that results hinge entirely on consistent use and following the instructions closely. One reviewer noticed no meaningful change, while another discovered it made a real difference once applied as directed, praising how the growth factors support skin regeneration. A long-term user credits it as a staple she relies on daily, especially after skin needling, and notes that while potent, it is gentle rather than aggressive. The main thing to keep in mind: this is an investment product, and getting the most from it means using it regularly and exactly as the brand recommends.

"I bought this product in probably 2019. I didn't notice any benefits or I didn't notice any negatives. It might have plumped my skin a little bit, but I didn't notice anything dramatic in terms of benefits. I don't have anything bad to say. I don't have anything good to say either. It was just neutral for me."

"I tested the BioEffect EGF Serum back in 2022. At that time I was not really consistent with it and didn't notice any difference in terms of hydration. It had some effect and I thought that growth factors are all the same. But when this product came, it came with a lot of literature and when I used it the way they instructed, I thought I had hit a jackpot. Growth factors are basically a type of peptide with different types, about 43 or 50 amino acids in combination. It has more amino acids that work on your skin regeneration."

"Using this as a first step, my beloved Bio Effect EGF serum. I've used this for a long time now, I want to say over a year. I wouldn't be without it. I use it morning and night. This is the big version; I think the normal version is 15 ml. You need four drops. I pat it into my skin before I do anything else. After the needling, it's phenomenal. It is a really simple formula, but it's very, very potent and good at what it does. I will recommend this forever."

"I just put my Bio Effect EGF Serum. I talk about it all the time. I'm not sponsored by them. I just like I love it so much. The most incredible serum. There's so many people talking about it just now as well cuz of how good it is."
10 BEAUTY TIPS (that are actually realistic) | JAMIE GENEVIEVE
"I love the EGF serum. It's really expensive, but it's fantastic. I do use both. You just need four drops. I do put my EGF serum on every night before my LED mask. I've been doing this, and it really works. I haven't had Botox in absolutely ages. There's growth factors which are active in themselves, but it's not like a reactive thing. It's not super strong. It's not resurfacing. It's not retinol."

"I've also got the EGF serum. This is a game changer. Directly onto your face, rub it in, put it on damp skin. So use like an essence or something first. This is growth factors. If you know what growth factors are. If not, look them up because this stuff is phenomenal and there's barely any ingredients in this. It really all is all about the technology. I'm obsessed with this stuff."
