GHK-Cu Powder was first isolated from human serum by Dr. Loren Pickart in 1973. They are composed of a tripeptide molecule consisting of three amino acids (glycine-histidine-lysine) complexed with a copper ion. Copper peptides appear in solid or solution form in shades ranging from deep blue to light blue, hence the name "copper peptides." Due to their stability and antioxidant properties, copper peptides are widely used in various fields such as anti-aging, promoting wound healing, and improving skin texture, making them a dark horse in peptide-based beauty products.

Additionally, copper peptides can be used topically or taken orally. When applied topically, they can be added to cosmetics such as creams, eye creams, serums, etc., to provide moisturizing, antioxidant, and skin-tightening effects. When taken orally, copper peptides can serve as supplements, promoting collagen synthesis to maintain skin elasticity and firmness, thus improving skin quality.
NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum (CAIS): A water-based serum containing 1 percent tripeptide-1 and 1 percent copper peptides. It is refreshing and non-greasy.
The Ordinary "Buffet" plus Copper Peptides 1 percent : In addition to 1 percent copper peptides, this product contains various neurotransmitter peptide inhibitors that effectively tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles.
◆Concentration: Pay attention to the concentration of copper peptides. Excessively high concentrations may cause irritation or adverse reactions. It is advisable to use copper peptide products with appropriate concentrations, typically ranging from 0.1 percent to 1 percent copper peptide solutions.
◆Avoid Simultaneous Use with Other Anti-Aging Ingredients: Copper peptides have specific usage requirements, and products containing EDTA, for example, can cause copper ions to be released, rendering them ineffective. Other antioxidants/whitening products can also interact with copper peptides, causing both to lose effectiveness. Therefore, when using copper peptide products, avoid using other multifunctional skincare products and simplify your skincare routine.
