Copper Peptides -- For Biologically Younger Skin

Copper Peptides have age reversing actions on the human skin! Published research conducted by leading dermatologists confirms the ability of these unique peptides on skin aging.


Clinical Data Shows Copper Peptides To Be The Best Anti Aging Cream For Aging Skin

Study results have proven the astounding healing, skin renewal, and anti-aging benefits which also include:

  • Tighening loose skin
  • Improving skin elasticity
  • Improving skin firmness
  • Reducing age spots, hyper-pigmentation and sun damage
  • Imparting a healthy “glow and clarity” to the skin

At the 16th Annual World Congress on Anti-Aging Medicine & Regenerative Biomedical Technologies -- Dr. Pickart presented further research on ability of peptides to protect and enhance tissue health.

What Is A Copper Peptide?

They are a combination of a copper ion (a trace element found in every cell within the body) and a peptide (a small protein fragment). They have been around for some time now and are known to have anti-inflammatory capabilities, enhance wound healing and stimulate collagen production.

Studies have demonstrated over and over again the ability of peptide creams to stimulate wound healing in human and animal models and provide an extraordinary anti-aging effects on human skin. Dr. Loren Pickart is credited with discovering a specific Skin Remodeling Peptide Complex called GHK-Cu. This stands for glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine:copper (II).

At one time this GHK Cu peptide cream was only available through dermatologists and plastic surgeons. They would provide a jar of this blue colored cream called Neova® by Procyte to their patients to use post-treatment after cosmetic procedures such as dermabrasion, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing to help the skin heal faster and reduce scaring.

However, this incredible skin regenerating GHK-Cu Peptide base cream is now available to the public. You can use this cream everyday to help slow the aging and degeneration process that naturally happens to skin as you age. This is especially effective in eye creams with copper peptide.

Notice the increase in light green color on the right graph, indicating a tighter skin barrier and increased collagen and elastin production.


Why this important, clinically proven skin care ingredient has not been promoted sooner for for anti aging skin care -- I’ll never understand.

It was many years after Dr. Pickart’s first discovery of this incredible peptide complex before it reached the public, and still many people are not aware of it. Perhaps it was due to disbelief among skin care researchers that this complex could have such an incredible effect on skin healing and renewal?

Copper Peptide Creams - Which One Is Best?

Well, there aren't that many "true" peptide creams available to the public. Most can only be purchased from plastic surgeons and dermatologists. That's because it's difficult to develop this cream with.

Since his first creation of peptide cream with GHK-Cu’s, Dr. Pickart has developed what he calls “second-generation” GHK-Cu which targets skin regeneration even better and is more stable.

The stability factor is important if you want to maximize skin renewal by using GHK-Cu’s.

While it's still hard to find anti aging creams that contain stable GHK-CU peptides - Neova, the product originally used by plastic surgeons - is now available to the public. The best one is I have found is Neova Dual Action Lotion which contains the specific GHK Peptide Complex® and Retinol -- The best of both worlds.

Retinol acts like a mild Retin-a sloughing off dead skin cells and the GHK peptide helps to build new, collagen enriched cells. So over time, your skin gets younger. This intense lotion/serum can be used alone under moisturizers.

Copper Peptides - Maximizing The Effects

In order to maximize skin renewal, you need to get rid of old, dead skin cells. GHK-CU can help rebuild collagen, but you must remove the old collagen in order to really see results and encourage collagen production.

The best way to do this is with home chemical peels and exfoliants using hydroxy acids -- like lactic acid and salicylic acids to help loosen and exfoliate older wrinkled skin and even old scar tissue.

Copper Peptide Side Effects

The most common side effect of using peptide creams is better looking skin and thicker, stronger skin. Most people tolerate it well. However, those with very sensitive skin may experience a little irritation or redness, especially if using an eye cream with copper peptide.

In this, they should reduce application to just a few times a week until the skin becomes healthier and thicker, then you can slowly increase to using it everyday. This might take a month or so, especially if the skin is very fragile and damaged --- which is pretty common for delicate skin around the eye area.
