Standard Skin and Beauty Hyaluronic Acid 1,5% & Peptides Serum Versus The Ordinary GF 15% Solution Detailed comparison of Standard Skin and Beauty Hyaluronic Acid 1,5% & Peptides Serum versus The Ordinary GF 15% Solution. This hydrating serum is formulated around Sodium Hyaluronate and Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Polypeptide-76 to hydrate skin and soften the look of wrinkles. This anti-aging serum is formulated around Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Oligopeptide-1 and Nicotiana Benthamiana Hexapeptide-40 Sh-Polypeptide-76 to soften the look of wrinkles and fade the look of dark spots.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount. Butylene Glycol (or BG) is used within cosmetic products for a few different reasons: Overall, Butylene Glycol is a safe and well-rounded ingredient that works well with other ingredients. Though this ingredient works well with most skin types, some people with sensitive skin may experience a reaction such as allergic rashes, closed comedones, or itchiness. Glycerin (or glycerol) is a compound naturally found in your skin. It's a powerhouse humectant that pulls water into the stratum corneum. Topically, glycerin does several things at once: Your skin makes glycerin on its own (mostly from sebaceous oil breakdown) and shuttles it to your outermost layer of skin, or your epidermis, via aquaporin-3. Aquaporin-3 is a transporter that is essential for normal skin hydration, elasticity, and repair. Interestingly, mice lacking in AQP3 have dry and less elastic skin that can be fully corrected with glycerin. This ingredient is non-irritating, plays well with almost every ingredient, and works across all skin types. Typical use is anywhere between 3-10% but can go up to 79% in some leave-on products. Just know very high concentrations (>40%) can feel tacky in low humidity. Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine. This is a lab-designed fusion peptide that gets its name from how it's made. It pairs a small carrier peptide with a single-chain recombinant human protein that engineered to be identical to the human gene coding for Transforming Growth Factor Beta-2 (TGF-β2). Rather than being brewed in bacteria, it's grown inside Nicotiana benthamiana, a tobacco relative used as a tiny plant "factory" (a technique called molecular farming that's well documented in the scientific literature for producing functional human growth factors). In a formula, this ingredient acts as an anti-aging and skin conditioning active. TGF-β2 is a signaling molecule that switches on the pathway in your skin to stimulate the synthesis of collagen I and support the skin's own lipid production. This is why manufacturer's pitch it as a retinol-like alternative. And unlike retinoids, this ingredient doesn't increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun in the first few weeks of use. This makes it suitable for daytime use. The headline claims for this ingredient come from the manufacturer's own 28 day in vivo studies. They reported reductions in wrinkle count, volume and depth, pore size reduction, and increases in radiance, hydration, firmness, and elasticity. Though these sound solid, just keep in mind these are company-run trials rather than independent peer-reviewed dermatology papers. The broader peer-reviewed work mostly backs the production method and the general collagen-stimulating biology of plant made TGF-β2 proteins and not an exact finished product. One honest caveat: the molecule is
