What Is GHK-Cu?

(glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex)

GHK-Cu is a tiny peptide bound to copper, and your body already makes it. It is the signal that tells your skin to build collagen and elastin and to repair what is damaged.

By your sixties you have less than half of what you had at twenty. Skin gets thinner and slower to bounce back. Hair follicles feel it too.

GHK-Cu levels decline with age

Illustrative only. Individual levels and results vary.

Firmer skin

Signals your skin to make more collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep it firm.

Softer lines

Helps smooth the look of fine lines and crepey texture.

Fuller hair

Supports the follicle and a longer growth phase, so hair looks denser.

Faster repair

Supports how quickly skin recovers and renews.

Individual results vary.

What to Expect Over Time

Collagen takes months to build, so GHK-Cu rewards patience. Here is how it usually unfolds.

Day 1

GHK-Cu starts signaling the genes behind collagen and repair. Nothing to see yet.

30 Days

Skin starts to feel smoother and better hydrated. This is usually the first thing people notice.

3 Months

New collagen starts to show as firmer skin and better texture. Hair follicles begin to respond.

6 Months

Fine lines look softer and hair looks fuller.

1 Year and Beyond

What you have built holds as long as you stay consistent.
