GHK-Cu, the copper-bound form of the tripeptide glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine, offers remarkable benefits for skin regeneration and cosmetic applications. This potent complex has been shown to:
- Tighten loose skin and reverse thinning of aged skin
- Repair protective skin barrier proteins
- Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity
- Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and improve aged skin structure
- Smooth rough skin
- Reduce photodamage, hyperpigmentation, and skin lesions
GHK-Cu stimulates the synthesis of collagen, glycosaminoglycans, and the small proteoglycan decorin, while modulating metalloproteinases and anti-proteases, helping to regulate protein breakdown in skin . This synergistic action contributes to an overall improvement in skin appearance
GHK-Cu's ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production, combined with its wound-healing and anti-inflammatory properties, make it a powerful ingredient in cosmetic formulations Topical creams and serums containing GHK-Cu can improve skin firmness, reduce wrinkles, and provide anti-aging effects, while also promoting hair growth and thickness
