Elite HGF Youth Elixir

This concentrated serum claims to use Thymulen 4 which compensates for the natural loss of our thymic factors related to the decline of the thymus with age and it also capable of stimulating cellular growth.

Thymulen 4 is said to stimulate the production of fibrous proteins, and numerous other cells, including Langerhans cells, binding them together, thereby becoming part of the immune response to fight the loss of thymic factors. This all is very complicated and mostly unproven.

We know that Thymulen 4 is actually Acetyl Tetrapeptide, which is a peptide derived from the youth hormone. We need to look into these and other ingredients to see if this will be an effective anti-aging treatment.

What are the Ingredients in Elite HGF Youth Elixir?

Seaweed Extract, Purified Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Phenoxyethanol, Ehtylhexylglycerin

What Else Should I Know About Elite HGF Youth Elixir?

The two top ingredients in this “concentrated” serum are seaweed extract and water. Seaweed extract does not permeate the epidermal layer of the skin, though it does have some antioxidant properties. It does not promote youth or anti-aging. And water is water. It is a common ingredient in cosmetics, but it is disappointing to see the first two ingredients in this serum. They are both useless.

The third ingredient is hyaluronic acid, which has been shown to promote retinol, which stimulates collagen growth. The peptide, which has also been proven to stimulate collagen growth, but we don’t think there is enough of the ingredient to be effective. The last ingredient is ehtylhexylglycerin, which is preservative that has been shown to irritate the skin and have adverse effects.

We would not recommend this product. It is very expensive, costing over $100 for about one fluid ounce. It does not contain enough peptides to be effective, and is mostly made of ingredients that are ineffective at best.
