COPPER PEPTIDES | GHK-Cu

One of the most interesting peptides in skin regeneration, GHK-Cu works at a cellular level to support the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes.

It helps stimulate fibroblast activity — the cells responsible for producing collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans, all essential components of healthy, hydrated and resilient skin.

GHK-Cu also plays a role in regulating the extracellular matrix, the structural network that surrounds and supports our skin cells. It can help support the removal of damaged collagen while encouraging the processes involved in rebuilding healthier skin.

Copper itself has an important role in wound healing and tissue repair, while GHK-Cu also demonstrates antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to protect the skin from oxidative stress and environmental damage.

What makes GHK-Cu particularly interesting is that GHK is naturally present within human tissues, but levels decline as we age.

By incorporating copper peptides into treatments such as microneedling, we can work with the skin’s own regenerative processes to support repair, renewal and overall skin quality.

Not simply skincare on the surface — working with the skin at a cellular level.
