What Are Copper Peptides?
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper tripeptide complex. AHK-Cu is a closely related copper tripeptide. Both are widely used as active ingredients in topical cosmetic formulations, and both are supplied in our research range as raw lyophilized powders.
Our topical products use these peptides in a finished cosmetic formulation, ready to apply. The research powders on the Shop page are a different product class and are not for personal use.
Application
How to Use
01
Patch test

02
Apply to clean skin
Use on cleansed, dry skin or scalp. A small amount is enough — the formula is lightweight and absorbs quickly.
03
