GHK-Cu Facial Serum

A lightweight daily serum built around GHK-Cu, a naturally occurring copper tripeptide, in a low-irritant base with humectants to keep the skin comfortable. Bottled in blue frosted glass to protect the peptide from light. 30ml / 1 fl.oz.

Choose your formula

• 1% GHK-Cu. Our original, and the highest copper peptide concentration we make. A concentration chosen to be tolerable for everyday use on most skin types.
• 0.5% GHK-Cu + 0.5% SNAP-8. Half the copper peptide, with SNAP-8 added. SNAP-8 is an octapeptide used in formulation to soften the look of expression lines, which copper peptides are not aimed at. It is a more costly active, which is why this formula is $10 more.

Neither is an upgrade on the other. Choose 1% if firmness and even tone are your priority, or the SNAP-8 formula if expression lines are. Both are 30ml.

What to expect

• Softens the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture
• Leaves skin looking firmer and more even in tone
• Comforting on skin that feels dry, tight or over-exfoliated
• Lightweight, absorbs quickly, layers under moisturiser
• Suitable for daily morning and evening use

Key ingredients

• Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu). The core active, a copper-bound tripeptide and one of the most studied peptides in cosmetic formulation. At 1% or 0.5% depending on the formula you choose.
• Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (SNAP-8). SNAP-8 formula only, at 0.5%. An octapeptide used in formulation aimed at the look of expression lines.
• Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. A well-known peptide pairing, in both formulas, included to support the look of firmer, smoother skin.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3). Helps even the look of tone and supports a comfortable, well-conditioned barrier.
• Madecassoside. Derived from centella asiatica. Calming on skin that looks red or feels reactive.
• Sodium Hyaluronate and Hyaluronic Acid. Two molecular weights for hydration at different depths.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5). Soothing humectant that helps skin feel less tight.
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E). Antioxidant that also helps keep the formula stable.

How to use

Apply 3-4 drops to clean, dry skin morning and night. Press gently into the face and neck. Follow with moisturiser.

Before you start

Patch test before first use: apply a small amount to the inner forearm and leave for 24 hours. Avoid the eye area. If irritation occurs, stop using the product. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or under the care of a doctor or dermatologist, check with them first.
