Many dermatologists recommend avoiding skin care products containing growth factors because growth factors have been associated with the growth of various types of cancer. Growth factors are not used as ingredients in iS Clinical products, but in some iS Clinical products, a growth factor analog, Tripeptide-1 (Copper Tripeptide-1), is used. Tripeptide-1 (Copper Tripeptide-1) is not a growth factor but is similar in action to some activities of growth factors. Unlike growth factors, Tripeptide-1 (Copper Tripeptide-1) decreases messages for cells to become cancerous. Tripeptide-1 (Copper Tripeptide-1) is used in iS Clinical products for its many benefits – including collagen synthesis, wrinkle reduction, anti-aging, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory qualities.
