Youth activating complex Activates cell renewal Increases epidermal cell proliferation Stimulates the growth of fibroblast cells (responsible for collagen and elastin production) Minimises fine lines and wrinkles Refines skin texture Adds radiance to the skin     Growth factors are a large group of naturally occurring biological molecules involved in cellular communication. They can also stimulate cell repair and proliferation. By using growth factors we can now communicate with our cells directly, telling them to stay healthy and young. Our Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) was developed in collaboration with a biotechnology laboratory. It is synthetically produced therefore it is 100% free from any human or animal derivatives and yet it is bio-identical. We use the same manufacturing method and a similar purification technique used by pharmaceutical industry, to produce our synthetic EGF. How does the triple-filtration process works: At stage 1: misfolded growth factors are removed as they can counteract EGF activity. Only correctly folded EGF has biological activity. At stage 2: proteases are carefully removed to ensure higher stability and longer shelf-life. Proteases break down proteins such as growth factors decreasing their stability over time. At stage 3: endotoxins are removed, to eliminate any risk of irritation or allergic reaction. To finish, Medik8 encapsulates triple-filtered EGF inside a liposome delivery system. It is therefore more stable and more efficient at penetrating the skin, leading to higher efficacy. The end formula is a pure, stable and highly efficacious and bioavailable serum.       Hydr8™ Day XD has been formulated for daily application to the face as part of the Medik8 protocol: 1. Cleanse 2. Prevent 3. Correct 4. Hydrate In the morning (AM) apply sparingly to the face & neck area, avoiding upper & lower eyelids and lips. Allow Hydr8™ Day XD to absorb before applying sunscreen products and /or make-up, if desired.
