GHK-Cu
Copper Peptide Complex
A naturally occurring copper peptide that supports smoother, more refined-looking skin and helps improve the appearance of skin texture.
What is GHK-Cu?
GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine Copper) is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It was first identified in the 1970s and has since become a popular ingredient in cosmetic skincare formulations.
In topical skincare products, GHK-Cu is valued for its ability to support the appearance of healthier, more youthful-looking skin. The copper component plays an important role in the peptide's cosmetic activity.
Cosmetic Benefits
When used in skincare formulations, GHK-Cu may help:
- Support smoother-looking skin texture
- Improve the appearance of skin firmness
- Enhance the look of skin elasticity
- Promote a more refined, even-looking complexion
- Support the appearance of healthier-looking skin
Note: These are cosmetic benefits related to appearance. GHK-Cu is not a medical treatment.
How It Works
GHK-Cu works by supporting the skin's natural processes that contribute to a healthy, youthful appearance. The copper peptide complex helps promote the look of firmer, more resilient skin when applied topically as part of a regular skincare routine.
For optimal results, GHK-Cu should be used consistently over time. Many users begin to notice improvements in skin appearance after several weeks of regular use.
