Peptides can enhance the physiological activity of the human body and are involved in various cell functions in the human body. Common types include neurotransmission inhibitory, signal and carrier peptides, etc.
The application of peptides in the field of skin care products has been very mature, especially copper peptides.
Copper tripeptide-1 is also known as Copper Peptide, GHK CU.
Copper is a trace element needed to maintain body functions. It has many and complex functions. It has an important impact on the development and function of the central nervous system and immune system, hair, skin and bone tissue, as well as internal organs such as the brain, liver and heart.
Scientists have also confirmed that for the skin, copper can act as an antioxidant, promote collagen proliferation, and assist in wound healing.
Copper atoms in the human body mainly function through the carrier of the amino acid complex GHK-Cu, allowing the functional component divalent copper ions to enter cells and participate in physiological activities.
Copper peptides for skin
After 30 subjects used copper peptide serum continuously for 14 days and 28 days, the effective rate of burning symptoms subsided was 78.9%, the effective rate of skin tingling symptoms was 46.7%, the effective rate of skin itching symptoms was 68.8%, and the erythema was 68.8%. The regression efficiency can reach 63.2%.
Copper Peptide can restore skin repair ability, reduce skin damage, repair skin barrier, tighten skin, promote blood vessel growth, and reduce skin conditions such as erythema, photodamage and pigmentation.
Skin surface moisture content analysis
Compared with the baseline value, after 30 subjects used the product continuously for 14 days, the water content of the facial skin surface increased by 10.28%. After using the product continuously for 28 days, the facial erythema area decreased by 5.66% and 7.20% respectively. The amount of water increased by 17.85%.
Best copper peptide serum
Copper peptide serum is suitable for all skin types, especially people who often stay up late. Its mild formula will not cause irritation to the skin. Long-term use will not only reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds, but the overall skin will also become younger.
When purchasing, it is best to choose products with a refreshing texture, strong fluidity, and rapid absorption. Copper peptide can be compounded with β-glucose and hyaluronic acid. The combination of the two directly penetrates the bottom layer of the skin, stimulates collagen production, effectively resists aging, reduces fine lines, repairs and moisturizes, and helps the skin stay young.
Air pollution, environmental pollution, hormone abuse, excessive skin care, poor work and rest, etc. will damage the skin barrier of modern people, causing skin redness, susceptibility to allergies, and early appearance of wrinkles. Therefore, it is urgent to protect and repair the skin.
