This is a growth factor ingredient. Growth factors stimulate cell growth and healing.
Studies find they help with:
The term "conditioned media" refers to a mix of lab grown growth-factors. Just so you know - the US allows human-derived growth factors. However, human-derived growth factors are illegal in the EU and plant sources are used as an alternative.

NeoGenesis Recovery Advanced Cellular Serum 7 ingredients
truly amazing in strengthening my reactive skin post-retinoid usage. works well under most products and especially does not pill with makeup. only negative thing is the price point...
Clear amber-colored liquid-y gel. I’d suggest spreading this over top of a toner or essence so you can get by with 1-2 pumps. It’s been helping me through the tretinoin adjustment period & I definitely noticed acne wounds heal faster when I use it. Once I’m finished retinizing, I look forward to improvement in texture & scars.
If using tretinoin at night, use Recovery in the morning before Show more
