Wallet-Friendly Skincare: The Ordinary Launches Anti-Aging GF 15% Solution

For skincare products, anti-aging products often come with hefty price tags, largely due to the inclusion of growth factors. Recognising this barrier, The Ordinary has launched its GF 15% Solution at an accessible price of S$30, aiming to bring premium anti-aging technology to a broader audience.

What Are Growth Factors, and Why Do They Matter?

Growth factors are naturally occurring proteins in the body that promote skin regeneration by supporting collagen, elastin, and other key molecules. Over time, environmental stressors like pollution and UV exposure deplete these essential components, slowing down the skin’s natural repair mechanisms. This results in visible signs of aging, including wrinkles, dullness, and a loss of elasticity​​.

Traditionally, sourcing and incorporating these ingredients in skincare formulations has been costly due to their complex production methods. However, The Ordinary’s GF 15% Solution are said to use plant-based growth factors, making it more affordable while still delivering proven benefits​.

The Science Behind The Ordinary’s GF 15% Solution

This serum harnesses a trio of growth factors—EGF, IGF, and TGF—to target different stages of skin repair:

1. EGF Complex: Stimulates elastin production and enhances skin renewal, helping to reduce wrinkles and improve firmness​.
2. IGF Complex: Boosts skin density and helps diminish visible wrinkles, promoting a smoother and more resilient appearance​.
3. TGF Complex: Supports collagen synthesis to firm the skin, smooth texture, and reduce fine lines​.

Together, these components work to regenerate aging skin, lift the face and neck, and refine uneven texture for a visibly youthful glow​​.

The Ordinary’s reputation for transparency and affordability has built it a respectable following globally. This new launch is no exception, offering a product that rivals high-end serums at a fraction of the price.

Usage Recommendations

The GF 15% Solution can be incorporated into both morning and evening skincare routines. However, it should not be used in the same regimen as exfoliating acids or direct vitamin C to avoid potential irritation​.

Pricing and Availability

Priced at a wallet-friendy S$30 for a 30ml bottle, the product is now available through official retailers and The Ordinary’s online store​ in Singapore.
