What is A & G Active Serum?
A & G Active Serum is an anti-aging skin serum formulated with patent-pending technology for the delivery of key growth factors found in natural human skin. These natural human growth factors include TGF-b (1-3) [Transforming growth factor beta], PDGF [Platelet derived growth factor], GM-CSF [Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor], and Interleukins (IL3, IL6-8).
 

What can A & G Active Serum do for my skin?
A & G Active Serum replenishes your skin's natural concentrations growth factors that have become depleted with age and sun damage. These growth factors can then stimulate natural skin rejuvenation, and have been clinically shown to increase skin firmness and elasticity, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, increase skin moisturization and vibrancy, develop a smoother, silkier texture, even out skin colors and tones, and will result in thicker, younger looking skin. Application of A & G Active Serum is extremely beneficial after laser therapy and skin peels, as A & G Active Serum's growth factors will supplement and accelerate the skin healing process. A & G Active Serum may also diminish the appearance of rosacea (patches of redness, flushing of the skin), scars, and skin discolorations.

Does A & G Active Serum work with other skin care products?
Use of A & G Active Serum with retinoic acid (retinols, vitamin A) is not recommended at the same application, as recent studies have suggested that retinoic acid interferes with TGF-b function (active ingredient of A & G Active Serum), and will inhibit its stimulatory effects on cell growth. However, use of A & G Active Serum with AHAs, BHAs, or antioxidant products is highly recommended, and the combination of these products may enhance skin rejuvenation.
 

What is the difference between A & G Active Serum and HAs or Retinols?
Retinols (retinoic acid, Vitamin A) and HAs (alpha or beta hydroxy acids) are skin "irritant" treatments that work by irritating or burning the skin, to generally remove the skin's upper cell layers, and force the skin to react with a wound healing response. In high concentrations, these irritant treatments may be painful, and cause burning or stinging sensations to your skin. A & G Active Serum is an anti-premature aging serum that does not irritate the skin through unnatural stimulation. Instead, A & G Active Serum is more like a replacement therapy because it replaces the concentrations of natural growth factors that have been lost in skin due to aging and sun exposure.
 

Will A & G Active Serum cause any other skin reactions?
The majority of patients did not experience any reaction to A & G Active Serum. However some individuals, with or without sensitive skin, may experience breakouts whenever a new product has been added to their skin care routine. If this is a common problem for you, we recommend that you use A & G Active Serum only once a day for the first week in order to reduce the chance of breakout occurrence.
