'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}Hollywood EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) Facial''' is the name of a beauty product or treatment which [[Cate Blanchett]] received in early 2018 at sold by Georgia Louise<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.georgialouise.com |title=Georgia Louise |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref>, 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<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.georgialouise.com/about-3 |title=About - In-the-know Clients |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref>) 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.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.etonline.com/the-penis-facial-is-it-really-worth-the-hollywood-hype-114756 |title=The Penis Facial: Is It Really Worth the Hollywood Hype? |last=Lee |first=Amy |publisher=ET |date=2018-11-30 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref><ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/dec/07/foreskin-facial-treatment-baby-salon-wrinkles |title=I tried the foreskin facial treatment – so you don't have to |last=Gabbatt |first=Adam |publisher=The Guardian |date=2018-12-07 |accessdate=2020-03-26}}</ref>

<blockquote>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.<ref name="Vogue2018"/>

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.<ref>{{REFweb
