GHK-Cu (also known as copper peptides) are small chains of amino acids, or protein fragments, that are bound to copper ions. When done in a controlled manner, this produces what is called a copper peptide. Copper peptides have been shown to trigger a wound-healing response in skin, act as a powerful antioxidant & anti-inflammatory and inhibit the breakdown of the skin's cellular matrix by MMP enzymes. Copper peptides have also been shown to reduce scar tissue formation while stimulating normal skin remodeling. Bio-Copper™ Serum is ideal to calm & soothe irritated skin, or for use after peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments. Copper peptides also have been clinically shown over time to reduce the thickness and appearance of stretch-marks and scar tissue. Copper peptides can also assist in relieving the irritation & redness associated with retinol use and AHA's (alpha hydroxy acids). Studies have shown that copper peptides stimulate the synthesis of "normal" & healthy collagen in skin, thus contributing to a more youthful, healthy skin appearance.
