The Science Behind GHK-Cu
-
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma.
It acts as a powerful signaling molecule that accelerates tissue repair, promotes collagen and elastin production, regulates extracellular matrix remodeling, and exerts powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects -
Backed by 50+ Years of Scientific Research
GHK-Cu was first discovered back in 1973 by Dr. Loren Pickart, a biochemist biochemist who was researching gene-regulation and tissue remodeling.
Since then, there's been over 500+ published studies & clinical trials specifically examining GHK-Cu and its copper complex for skin, hair, and even organs.
Our Transformations
Six ingredients. That's the whole list.
No fragrance, no silicones, no unnecessary additives. Backed by 50+ years of clinical research.
-
Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-CU 0.10%)
The hero active. GHK is a tripeptide — three amino acids — that binds with copper to become GHK-Cu, the copper peptide your skin naturally contains. Studied for over 50 years and prized for supporting the look of firmer, smoother skin. Its natural blue-green hue is what gives the serum its color.
-
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate 1.5%)
A natural polysaccharide that retains moisture in the body — it draws hydration into skin for a plumper, more supple appearance, and helps every active absorb better.
-
The Clean Base
Water - Pentylene Glycol - Phenylpropanol - Sodium Hydroxide
A minimalist carrier, a humectant, a gentle preservative, and a touch of pH balancer. No filler. Nothing that doesn't earn its place.

FAQ
What exactly are copper peptides?
What exactly are copper peptides?
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a small copper-bound peptide and one of the most extensively studied actives in dermatology. In skincare it's valued for supporting the look of firmer, smoother, more refined skin. Our serum uses it at 0.10%, paired with 1.50% Hyaluronic Acid.
Does topical GHK-Cu serum actually work?
Does topical GHK-Cu serum actually work?
GHK-Cu is one of the most studied peptides in skincare - over 70 published studies covering collagen production, skin elasticity, wound repair, and cellular regeneration. It's not a new ingredient and it's not a trend. It was first identified in 1973 and has decades of research behind it.
Why is the serum blue-green?
Why is the serum blue-green?
That color isn't a dye — it's the copper peptide itself. The natural blue-green hue is a built-in sign that the GHK-Cu in the bottle is present and active. We never add synthetic colorants.
How long until I actually see a difference?
How long until I actually see a difference?
Here's an honest timeline based on what our customers consistently report:
Week 1: Less morning puffiness. Skin looks slightly cleaner and more refreshed. The hyaluronic complex is working immediately - you'll notice the hydration before the peptide effects fully kick in.
Weeks 3-4: Smoother texture, more even tone. This is when people start asking what you've changed. You'll notice it in photos and in normal lighting.
Weeks 8-12: Firmer, more defined-looking skin. This is the compound result of consistent daily use - collagen signaling takes time to show up structurally, but when it does, the difference is noticeable.
Individual results vary. But if you stop after two weeks because you haven't seen a dramatic change yet, you've quit before the best part.
Can I use this with my other serums?
Can I use this with my other serums?
Yes — it layers cleanly over Hyaluronic Acid and under moisturizer, morning or night. Keep strong exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) and high-dose Vitamin C to a separate step or routine so nothing competes.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Is it good for sensitive skin?
It's fragrance-free, silicone-free, and built on just six ingredients, which many people with sensitive skin appreciate. As with any new active, patch test on your neck first — especially if you have known copper sensitivity. For external use only; avoid the eye area.
