GHK-Cu Acetate is a naturally occurring copper peptide designed to signal skin renewal pathways, which supports firmness, elasticity, and an even, refreshed looking tone.

The Formula

What's In It

Powered by peptides. A prescription-grade serum featuring one of the most studied skin repair peptides in clinical skincare.

GHK-Cu Acetate

C₁₄H₂₄CuN₆O₄  ·  Copper Peptide

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide made of three amino acids (glycine, histidine, lysine) bound to a copper ion. Levels of GHK-Cu in the body decrease with age, which researchers believe contributes to reduced skin repair capacity over time. When applied topically in a prescription-grade concentration, it is designed to signal skin cells involved in collagen and elastin production, support antioxidant pathways, and help maintain the skin barrier. The intended result is skin that looks firmer, smoother, and more even-toned with continued use. Results build gradually over 8 to 12 weeks. Individual results vary.
