Using EGF-type Oligopeptide in autumn: the season brings falling humidity and barrier recovery, so what changes is texture, frequency and what you layer around it — not usually whether you use it at all.

Sold in Korea as sh-Oligopeptide-1 and heavily marketed. Read the claims carefully: cosmetics are regulated on appearance, and a topical peptide is not the same thing as a clinical growth-factor treatment. Treat it as a conditioning peptide whose independent evidence is thin — almost all the published support comes from the companies selling it.

What autumn does to your skin

Dropping humidity is the classic time to repair the moisture barrier and slowly transition to richer textures.

How that changes EGF-type Oligopeptide

Autumn is the classic Korean repair season — humidity drops, summer sun damage surfaces, and richer textures start to feel right again. EGF-type Oligopeptide works on anti-ageing & firmness, loss of firmness & elasticity, and it is normally applied PM.

⚠️ Keep apart from: AHA (Glycolic/Lactic), BHA (Salicylic), Retinol — especially when seasonal dryness has already made skin more reactive.
