EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor)

The ingredient that won Kári Stefánsson a genetics Nobel and became the reason BIOEFFECT exists — a real signalling peptide with a very specific job, priced like a small mortgage.

Niacinamide

brightener

Niacinamide is one of the most versatile and well-researched skincare actives available. It regulates sebum production, strengthens the skin barrier, fades hyperpigmentation, and minimizes pore appearance — all with minimal irritation risk. If you could only pick one active, this would be a strong contender.
