Dr. Diamond's Metacine INSTAFACIAL Plasma Bioactive Growth Factor Serum
A Beverly Hills plastic surgeon's brand, sold mostly as a three-part set that runs to eight hundred and seventy five dollars. The Plasma is the first step and the one you can buy alone, which is why it is the one here. It belongs on this shelf for what the list actually contains: five of the lab-named peptides the category calls growth factors, a tobacco-plant-derived hexapeptide, copper tripeptide-1 and hyaluronic acid, in a fluid the brand says is modelled on platelet-rich plasma. That is the brand's framing, and it is the clearest example on the page of skincare using a clinic's vocabulary. The list is now published in full at Dermstore, which is the reason we can name any of it.
