"The human copper-binding peptide GHK-Cu (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) is a small, naturally occurring tri-peptide present in human plasma that also can be released from tissues in case of an injury. Since its discovery in 1973, GHK-Cu established itself as a powerful protective and regenerative ingredient, which is currently widely used in skin and hair products [1].
Up-to-date, it is established that GHK-Cu is able to:
-Tighten loose skin and reverse thinning of aged skin
-Repair protective skin barrier proteins
-Improve skin firmness, elasticity, and clarity
-Reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and improve structure of aged skin
-Smooth rough skin
-Reduce photodamage, mottled hyperpigmentation, skin spots and lesions
-Improve overall skin appearance
-Stimulate wound healing
-Protect skin cells from UV radiation
-Reduce inflammation and free radical damage"

Regenerative and Protective Actions of the GHK-Cu Peptide in the Light of the New Gene Data
The human peptide GHK (glycyl-l-histidyl-l-lysine) has multiple biological actions, all of which, according to our current knowledge, appear to be health positive. It stimulates blood vessel and nerve outgrowth, increases collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, as well as supports...www.mdpi.com
Looks awesome for sure but anecdotally, it doesn’t appear to have lived up to the hype - at least not from what I’ve read in various places.
Peps are such a lottery with regard to who is fortunate enough to see results - or not.
Part of this is probably due to the wild wild west of the Pep market, including …. bunk peps.
