You have probably familiar with peptides, but this metallic ingredient has evidence behind it and we have created a skin patch that works from the inside out, to help you achieve a natural smoothing glow and a brighter complexion.
GHK-Cu, also known as Copper peptide, is a naturally occurring molecule in the body that declines with age. Copper peptide has numerous benefits including the activation of stem cells. Copper peptides are naturally occurring amino acids that can help stimulate collagen and elastin, both help in developing smooth and firm skin.
Since its discovery in 1973, GHK-Cu has established itself as a powerful protective and regenerative ingredient, as it helps rebuild our skin barriers.
Since GHK-Cu – copper peptides play an important role in skin biology, it is widely used in cosmetics as a reparative and anti-ageing ingredient.
Copper peptides stimulate the synthesis and breakdown of collagen and glycosaminoglycans and modulate the activity of both metalloproteinases and their inhibitors. It stimulates collagen, dermatan sulphate, chondroitin sulphate, and the small proteoglycan decorin.
Several facial studies have confirmed the effects of copper peptides on anti-ageing, firmness and anti-wrinkle activity.
Once you lose collagen and elastin, it’s possible that certain skin care products may help add them back into your skin. This is where our innovative Glow copper peptide patch can help.

According to studies, copper peptides act as an essential co-enzyme in processing collagen and elastin to improve our skin's elasticity. This may aid in the formation of tighter and smoother skin. There is also evidence that copper peptides can increase hyaluronic acid, something all of our skins love! This in turn helps to hydrate skin, soften fine lines and help with uneven skin tones.

Its effects are like that of the medication minoxidil, which has been used for hair loss treatment for decades.
