GHK-Cu Copper Peptide
Blue copper peptide (GHK-CU, tripeptide-1 copper) A small molecule complex formed by the complexation of glycine-histidine-lysine tripeptide with copper ions (Cu²⁺), and its aqueous solution is light blue,is a small molecule active ingredient that is homologous to the human body, possessing four core capabilities: powerful repair, gentle anti-aging, anti-inflammation and anti-redness, and anti-oxidation
Functions and Effects
1.Powerful repair barrier
Activate fibroblasts, promote the synthesis of type I/III/IV collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and thicken the dermis.
Accelerate the regeneration of epidermal cells, repair the stratum corneum, and improve red blood vessels, dryness, itching, stinging and flaking.
Assist in repairing the lipid film of the skin, reduce water loss, and enhance the skin's tolerance.
2. Gentle anti-aging and firming
Inhibit matrix metalloproteinase (MMP), reduce collagen breakdown, and fade dry lines, fine lines, and nasolabial folds.
Promote the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans and enhance the fullness and firmness of the skin
3.Antioxidant and anti-photoaging
Copper ions simulate the activity of SOD (superoxide dismutase), eliminate free radicals, and have an antioxidant capacity approximately 1.5 times that of vitamin C.
Resist photoaging caused by ultraviolet rays and pollution, reduce dullness and yellowish complexion, and brighten the skin tone
4.Promote wound healing
As a chemokine, it attracts immune cells and endothelial cells to the site of injury.
Promote angiogenesis, accelerate wound healing, and reduce scar formation.
It can be used for skin repair after burns, surgery and radiotherapy
Main application fields:
1. Skin care products
Essence: Focusing on repair, anti-aging and stability maintenance, it is suitable for sensitive skin and after medical aesthetics.
Face cream/lotion: Daily anti-aging, moisturizing, and strengthening the barrier.
Facial mask: Emergency repair, soothing redness, intensive anti-aging.
Eye cream: Reduces fine lines around the eyes, improves dark circles and puffiness.
Medical aesthetic post-treatment repair products: Accelerate wound healing, reduce pigmentation and scars.
2. Medicine and Clinical Practice
Dermatology: Treats chronic wounds, burns and ulcers, promotes healing and reduces scarring.
Plastic surgery: Postoperative recovery, shortening the recovery period.
Hair care: Stimulate hair follicle stem cells, prolong the growth period, improve hair loss and increase density.
3. Other potential applications
Neuroprotection: Preliminary research suggests that it may have neuroprotective effects.
Health supplements: Assist in antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and promote tissue repair.
