Manufacturer Info

How It Works

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide composed of glycine (G), histidine (H), and lysine (K). It has a high affinity for copper ions (Cu²⁺), forming a stable and biologically active complex that enhances copper’s bioavailability and intracellular activity. This interaction is thought to activate key biological pathways involved in wound healing, collagen synthesis, hair growth, immune function, and angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels). Additionally, GHK-Cu may exhibit antioxidant and neuroprotective properties, further contributing to tissue repair and overall cellular health.

F.A.Q

Is GHK-Cu Cream suitable for all skin types?

Yes, GHK-Cu is generally well tolerated, even with those with sensitive skin. However, people with very reactive or compromised skin should start with a patch test.

Will this cream stain the skin blue?

No, not in the cream form. While it is blue in color, our well-formulated cream does not stain. If the color is strong, it usually fades quickly upon absorption.

When will I see results?

Results will vary between patients. Some may notice improvements in skin texture and hydration within 1–2 weeks, but collagen remodeling and deeper changes may take 4–12 weeks with consistent use.
