About AQ Skin Solutions

Growth factors. With clinical precision.

AQ Skin Solutions® is a regenerative skincare brand founded in California. Since 2003 the research team has developed patented growth-factor complexes for clinics and home care — today represented exclusively across Europe by BTT Beauty Technology Trade.

"We don't treat the skin. We give it back the language to repair itself."
Dr. Ahmed Al-Qahtani · Founder & Chief Scientist

A laboratory becomes a brand.

AQ Skin Solutions began with one question: what does the skin actually need to regenerate? The answer: its own signaling language — growth factors and cytokines naturally present in young tissue, but dramatically reduced with age.

That approach became GF-20™ — a platform of 20 human growth factors and cytokines produced via a patented bioreactor process. Today AQ is used in over 30 countries, both with leading dermatologists and as part of daily home-care routines.

BTT Beauty Technology Trade brings the full AQ portfolio to the European market — curated, documented in German, and supported by personal expert advice for clinics and end users alike.
