- CAS (GHK-Cu): 49557-75-7
- Class: Biomimetic copper-peptide complex (topical cosmetic)
What It Does (Plain English)
- Signals renewal: GHK-Cu is widely studied for supporting markers linked to collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan homeostasis.
- Soothes & defends: Associated with calming visible redness and helping counter the look of oxidative stress.

Why 4%?

- Formulation emphasizes stability, compatibility, and barrier support to balance potency and comfort.
Highlighted Study Themes (for customer education)
Matrix & Firmness Look
- Topical GHK-Cu has been studied for up-regulating markers associated with **collagen I/III**, **elastin**, and **decorin** in skin-model systems.
- Consumers typically associate this signaling profile with a smoother, firmer, more elastic appearance over consistent use.
Calming & Tone
- In vitro/clinical-style reports link copper peptides with **antioxidant** and **soothing** benefits that can reduce the look of skin stress and uneven tone.
How to Use
- Apply to clean, dry skin **once daily** (PM preferred); follow with moisturizer.
- New to copper peptides? Start **every other night** for 1–2 weeks, then increase as tolerated.
- Always use **broad-spectrum SPF** in the daytime.
Patch test recommended. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
Formulation & Compatibility Notes
pH & Packaging
- Target pH: ~5.3–6.2 for comfort and peptide stability.
- Use airless, opaque packaging; avoid prolonged heat/UV.
Play Nice With
- Niacinamide, panthenol, HA, ceramides, gentle antioxidants.
- Most sunscreens and barrier creams.
Use Caution With
- Strong acids (very low pH), high-dose L-ascorbic acid, or heavy **chelators** (e.g., high EDTA) in the same step—may impact copper complexation.
- Layer potent actives on alternate nights if sensitivity occurs.
