Hollywood EGF Facial
Hollywood EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) Facial is the name of a beauty product or treatment sold by Georgia Louise[1], an upmarket New York salon which is so expensive that it refers to itself as an atelier, where celebrities Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock (probably among many others - see the "In-the-know Clients" list at the bottom of their About page[2]) received in early 2018. Her quoted statement below was discreetly removed from Vogue’s website, but not before spurring a series of “penis facial” headlines.[3][4]

Blanchett referred to Georgia Louise’s “Hollywood EGF Facial”, which according to Louise’s website involved a serum “derived from the progenitor cells of the human fibroblast taken from Korean newborn baby foreskin”. The prices weren’t advertised online, but Business Insider reported that the treatment was $650USD and had a two-year wait list.[5]
As stated on their website, "Georgia worked extensively with her lab to create a clean, ionizable formula so you can match the results of her professional Hollywood EGF Facial at home." She names this "DIY" product Hollywood EGF Serum, which probably also contains foreskin fibroblasts.[6]
