Has anyone ever had any success or heard of any type of success using EGF serums or products. I stumbled upon this one clinical study that claimed to have significant improvement in acne scars using a EGF serum. Looking for any responses or help. I will link the study and and the before and after pics below, thanks!

EFG does not heal scars, it only helps the body heal after procedures. Example this is why Microneedle and PRP are done to promote healing and collagen formation. They will not heal scars, just promote collagen. You need surgical intervention for scars like subcision, tca peels, microneedle, laser, etc. No high priced serum will do that.

I found that interesting as well. I bought it and will try it along with dermarolling for skin texture and some small scarred pores. I'll keep you posted!

We are using EGF serum from Iceland in between the days of micro derma rolling with a 1.0mm roller. It seems to help a lot, noticed major difference just after a week. Have severe acne scars.
