All About Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KFG)
A primary active in our RevivHair Stimulating Serum and RevivLash Lash & Brow Stimulating Serum: Keratinocyte Growth Factor (KGF or rh-Polypeptide-3). Numerous scientific/clinical studies show how KGF helps promote hair growth. Check out these published articles:
