Copper Tripeptides
Numerous clinical studies have demonstrated that copper tripeptides (copper chelated to specific plant-derived peptides) can induce skin remodeling, a process that removes proteins and specific cells from the skin to replace them with newer ones in an attempt to reduce scars, stretch-marks, texture irregularities, and wrinkles. This is specifically achieved by the ability of copper peptides to stimulate new collagen fiber growth in the skin, a process that is highly active in young skin but declines with age.
We use what is commonly known as a second generation copper peptide, GHK-Cu(II), in our products, as it has proven to be the most stable in skincare formulas. This more stable molecule is a significant step forward when compared to the early days of copper peptide research when copper chelates were used primarily for wound healing and had to be carefully added to topical products to avoid interactions with other ingredients. The second generation copper we use is bound tightly to a plant derived protein peptide that forms a highly stable complex that is easily used alongside hydroxy acids, vitamin c, and other skin treatments.
