GHK-Cu

Copper Tripeptide-1, or GHK-Cu, is a naturally occurring peptide found in our plasma. As we
age, the levels of this peptide significantly decrease in our bodies. This peptide has been
extensively studied and is widely used in various skincare and hair care products.

In skincare, it’s primarily incorporated in anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing products. It’s also
found in products aimed at skin renewal, hydration, and post-sun care. The primary function
of GHK-Cu is to transport copper to the skin. When applied topically, the peptide improves
skin texture, making it firmer and thicker. This is attributed to its ability to boost collagen
production.

GHK-Cu also stimulates hair growth, making it a common ingredient in hair growth products.
Additionally, this peptide has been found to speed up wound healing and tissue regeneration
thanks to its ability to stimulate the production of collagen and decorin.
Aside from these benefits, GHK-Cu also possesses antioxidant properties, protecting the skin
from damage caused by free radicals. It also has anti-inflammatory effects, which can help
soothe irritated skin.
