GF 15% Solution 30 ml

In just one week of using the best anti-aging serum I’ve come across, I can truly see a remarkable transformation in my skin. The visible effects on my face are nothing short of impressive, with a noticeable reduction in fine lines and an overall radiant glow. The Ordinary brand continues to exceed my expectations, consistently delivering high-quality products that I can rely on for effective skincare.

What it is It’s a water-based serum that delivers a 15% concentration of growth-factor-type peptides (plant-based biomimetic versions of EGF, IGF and TGF). The product claims to target visible signs of ageing on face & neck: fine lines, loss of firmness/elasticity, rough texture, dull tone. It’s vegan, cruelty-free, oil-free, silicone-free; suitable for all skin types according to the brand. --- What I liked Texture is very lightweight, almost like a toner—absorbs fast, no heavy residue. (Reported in user reviews) Good value: For a growth-factor type formula (often much more expensive elsewhere), this is relatively affordable. Compatible with simple routines: apply a few drops morning and evening on clean skin, then follow with your moisturiser/sunscreen. Many users noted improvements in skin texture, smoothness, and tone—especially for dullness or rough patches. --- What to be aware of The science: Growth-factors have large molecular weights so topical effect may be more modest than what high-end claims imply. One review noted: “While I love the lore around growth factors … they simply cannot do what they do in the body when applied topically.” Some users reported minimal change after a week or two. One said: “Verdict 1 week in: … I haven’t noticed any changes to the fine lines … only a shinier forehead.” If you use strong actives like direct vitamin C or exfoliating acids (glycolic, salicylic), the brand advises not to use them in the same routine with this product because they may degrade the growth-factors. Some users with very dry skin noticed it felt a bit drying or emphasised flakiness initially. --- My verdict If you’re looking for a solid “next step” in an anti-ageing routine (beyond basic moisturiser/serum) and you want something lightweight, affordable and easy to layer, this is a sensible choice. It won’t be a magic eraser for deep wrinkles overnight—but it can help improve texture, tone and overall skin “health feel”. If I were to sum it up: recommended for daily use as part of a broader regimen (with sunscreen, perhaps a retinoid or peptide serum) for visible smoothing/firming benefits over time. --- Usage tips Apply on clean skin, a few drops morning and evening. Follow with moisturiser and in the morning definitely apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (critical for visible ageing support). Avoid combining in exactly the same routine with strong acids or direct vitamin C (check brand compatibility). Give it at least 4-12 weeks to judge effect on fine lines and texture (the barrier-support & smooth-tone effects might show earlier). If skin is very dry or flaky, ensure your moisturiser or a hydrating serum is part of your routine so this one doesn’t accentuate dryness.

Sehr gute verträglichkeit. Ich kann bisher nichts negatives sagen . Es irritiert überhaupt nicht . Überhaupt die Wirkung kann ich erst später etwas sagen ,da ich es zu kurz teste aber bisher ist es super .

Ottimo siero per levigare le rughe di espressioni, lo uso mattina e sera nella mia skin care, dopo la detersione e prima delle creme giorno e notte. Sono soddisfatta lo ricomprerò sicuramente.

Je l utilise pour ma skincare. Comme j utilise aussi des huiles essentielles et végétales, il est difficile pour moi de dire si c est vraiment efficace. Mais elle est bien dosée en vitamine C et c est bon pour les peaux matures

First Impressions The Ordinary has always been about no-frills, science-forward skincare, and this serum is no exception. The packaging is the classic brown glass bottle with a dropper, which makes it feel clinical and straightforward. At first glance, it looks simple, but don’t let that fool you — this formula means business. Texture & Application • Lightweight, watery consistency that absorbs quickly • Non-sticky, layers well under moisturizer or sunscreen • Doesn’t pill, even when used with other actives I usually apply this in the morning after cleansing and before my moisturizer. A few drops are all you need — too much and it can feel like overkill. Performance & Results After a few weeks of consistent use, I noticed my skin looked a bit more plump and less tired. Fine lines around my eyes and forehead softened slightly, and my skin overall looked more hydrated. While it’s not going to erase wrinkles overnight (no topical can), it does provide a noticeable boost in skin health and texture. Tips & Tricks • Use it consistently, ideally daily, to see results — it’s not an instant-fix product. • Apply on slightly damp skin to lock in extra hydration. • Always pair with sunscreen during the day. Any anti-aging routine is wasted without SPF. • If you’re layering actives, this plays well with most — but I personally avoid stacking it with strong exfoliants in the same routine. Pros • Affordable compared to most anti-aging serums • Lightweight formula, no greasy residue • Noticeable hydration and skin plumping • Pairs easily with other products Cons • Results take time and patience (not instant) • Dropper can sometimes dispense too much • Might not be strong enough for those expecting dramatic anti-aging effects Final Thoughts This serum is a great example of The Ordinary’s philosophy — effective ingredients, no nonsense, and affordable pricing. If you’re looking to add an anti-aging step to your routine without breaking the bank, this is an easy choice. It’s subtle, steady progress rather than a “wow” moment, but for me, that’s exactly what I want in a long-term product.
