Questions & Answers

1. What makes us age?

  • in young people, skin cells divide very frequently. This creates new, healthy skin cells responsible for collagen and elastin production. From around the age of 27, this natural process slows down and decreases further with age. This leads to:

    loss of collagen and elastin

    decreasing hyaluronic acid levels

    reduced skin volume

    thinning skin

    formation of wrinkles.

    2. How does our body produce new collagen and elastin?

  • collagen and elastin form the framework of the skin. By helping the cell to resume the cell division process, new, healthy skin tissue can be created.

    3. How can this be achieved in the long term?

  • address the root cause of the problem: the cell itself. You have to stimulate the cell to resume its natural function. This results in continuous, healthy skin rejuvenation processes, not just short-term effects achieved, for example, by paralyzing facial expressions with Botox or filling spaces between skin cells with hyaluronic acid.

    4. How can the cell resume its activity?

  • by striving for healthy, natural cell proliferation, as in youth. This occurs when the skin cell receives the signal to do so via messenger substances.

    5. What effects do EGF and bFGF have?

  • growth factors are the two main proteins that signal cells to proliferate. EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) and bFGF (Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor) are responsible for this.

    6. What are authentic EGF and bFGF proteins?

  • authentic cell activators are identical in shape, structure, and length to the proteins produced by the body itself. Only authentic proteins generate healthy cell growth without damaging the cell's receptor.

    7. What is the difference between these and simple peptides?

  • genuine EGF and bFGF proteins have a complex, long-chain molecular structure. Peptides, such as those already used in cosmetics, are far simpler. They consist of a maximum of 10 molecules in the chain. These are less complex and significantly cheaper to produce. Only genuine, authentic proteins can be recognized as signaling proteins and activate the cell for healthy proliferation.

    8. Why are authentic cell activators so unique?

  • producing such complex protein structures requires in-depth knowledge and extensive experience. This necessitates decades of science and research. Our professors have developed a unique, patented manufacturing process. This has resulted in the exceptional protein purity of both main active ingredients, which determines their authenticity. This is what makes ISC's EGF and bFGF so unique.

    9. Why does healthy cell proliferation only work with authentic EGF + bFGF?

  • authentic cell activators are identical to those produced by the body itself. When these signaling molecules encounter the cell's receptor, they are recognized as self. The protein fits perfectly, like a key in a lock, into the cell's "lock." The lock (the receptor) therefore cannot be damaged. A healthy, completely natural cell proliferation process is initiated and can be repeated indefinitely.

    10. Why can only the correct “key” work?

  • imagine it like this: A ill-fitting "key" that you repeatedly try to use to unlock a "lock" will eventually damage the "lock." This is similar to what happens with signaling proteins that are not authentic, meaning they don't exactly match human signals. These can damage the cell's receptor. With ill-fitting "keys," healthy cell growth can eventually cease until the cell can no longer divide at all.

    11. How were we able to achieve authenticity?

  • we have tirelessly researched how to produce the most complex, essential protein structures in the same way that only the body itself produces them. Over 30 years ago, our scientists began intensive research on the Nobel Prize-winning protein EGF. After decades, they succeeded for the first time in producing EGF with this level of authenticity. Many years later, the far more complex bFGF was also successfully produced according to the same high standards. A scientific breakthrough.

    12. How cost-intensive is the production process?

  • the actual protein production of authentic growth factors is among the most cost-intensive manufacturing processes in biological science due to special specifications, sound knowledge, experience and multiple production steps.

    13. How could these active ingredients be made usable for cosmetics?

  • our proprietary patented manufacturing process enables us to produce

    authentic EGF + bFGF active ingredients

    while simultaneously

    reducing production costs.

    14. How do we manage to be so cost-effective? The most valuable ingredients at affordable prices? How is that possible?

  • there are several reasons for this.

    firstly, experience is required in handling these unique, highly potent active ingredients. We have therefore decided not to place them in the hands of others. We believe that our expertise and the associated professional application enable us to manufacture the most optimally balanced and effective top-quality products ourselves. This decision also means that we can dispense with intermediaries and external cosmetics manufacturers. From active ingredient development to the end product, everything comes from a single source. We believe we can provide the best advice and have therefore set up a chat function that allows you to contact us directly. That is why our high-quality products cannot be found in perfumeries or department stores. We prefer to invest our experience and capacities in the development of our active ingredients and products rather than in costly marketing and advertising measures. This has enabled us to create a highly effective luxury product that is affordable.

    our quality standards all from a single source

    from active ingredient manufacturer to end product

    15. When will the skin condition begin to improve?

  • the duration of the cell division process varies from person to person. In younger people, it generally happens faster than in older people. However, this also depends on lifestyle and physical and mental health. Normally, it takes about 4-8 weeks.

    16. Are these results lasting?

  • cell proliferation is stimulated once again. The more sustained this process is, the more effective the result. Each cell renewal thus enhances cell rejuvenation.

    17. Are there any scientific studies?

  • yes – many. After 30 years of intensive science and research, countless studies have been conducted on the outstanding effectiveness of authentic growth factors.

    18. What is special about ISC?

  • we come from a scientific research background and have specialized in protein production for over 30 years. We believe that we can only meet our high quality standards if we maintain complete control over the entire process, from the production of our authentic key ingredients to the final product. This, along with our own patented manufacturing process for the key ingredients, has allowed us to develop a unique cosmetics line at affordable prices, featuring authentic EGF + bFGF. From science directly to the highly effective final product.

    19. Is ISC cosmetics also suitable for sensitive skin?

  • yes, definitely. Our products are formulated exclusively with exclusive, natural ingredients. They are optimally tolerated and free from artificial colors, fillers, silicones, sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and preservatives, as well as any kind of skin-irritating ingredients. Therefore, the ISC skincare line is suitable even for sensitive skin. Our products are hypoallergenic.

    20. Why are there currently only 4 products with authentic EGF + bFGF?

  • we focus on the essentials and don't invest in a plethora of products with similar effects. These four products are perfectly coordinated and provide maximum nourishment for the facial skin. Applying the serum followed by the eye and face cream gives the skin everything it needs. Using the mask once a week enhances the results and leaves the skin radiant.
