Copper Peptide
Commonly chosen for: Skin, hair, collagen, wound healing
What it is
GHK-Cu is a copper-carrying peptide your body makes on its own — but levels drop sharply as you get older. It signals your skin to produce more collagen and elastin, the two things responsible for firmness and bounce. It's also used for wound healing and hair follicle support, and works as an antioxidant. It's long established in skincare; the injectable form is compounded.
How it works
GHK-Cu is a copper-carrying peptide your body makes on its own. Levels drop sharply with age.
It signals skin to produce more collagen and elastin — the two proteins responsible for firmness and bounce — and supports the tidy remodelling of healing tissue.
It also acts as an antioxidant and is used for hair follicle support. It is long established in topical skincare; the injectable form is compounded.
Who it's typically for
- People whose goals include skin quality and collagen, not just repair.
- People interested in hair follicle support.
- People adding an antioxidant element to a recovery plan.
