Copper Peptides
Also called GHK-Cu
What it is
Copper peptides are small chains of amino acids bound to copper. GHK-Cu occurs naturally in the body, and its levels decline with age.
Why it matters for men
Men's skin is thicker and takes a daily beating from shaving, sun and wind. Copper peptides are a gentle way to support skin that looks firmer and smoother without the irritation some stronger actives cause.
What it does
- Supports the look of firmer, smoother skin
- Helps skin look less tired
- Supports a healthy-looking scalp in hair care
How to use it
Use in a serum after cleansing, morning or night. Avoid layering at the same moment as strong acids or pure vitamin C.
Pairs well with Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid.
