“Nature's wound healer — stimulates collagen and regenerates the skin matrix.”
What it does
Copper peptides (GHK-Cu) are naturally occurring complexes found in human plasma, saliva, and urine that decline with age. They act as powerful wound-healing agents by stimulating collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan production. They also have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and may promote hair follicle growth. Often described as the most regenerative peptide in skincare.
Benefits
- Strongly stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis
- Accelerates wound healing and skin recovery
