Review (5/5): This Copper Peptide Serum is a Great Product
Copper peptide serums usually cost around $100 - $400. This is a high GHK-Cu content serum that's highly absorbent, non-pilling and extremely lightweight so that it's great for layering serums. The reason why it's nice to have a lightweight, fast-absorbing copper peptide serum is that I also use it on cuts and other superficial wounds because GHK-Cu is a well-established aid to skin healing for surgical scars & other medical applications. I also use this after microneedling, as it's used by dermatologists as part of the serums applied during microneedling treatments as copper peptides are a factor in collagen and elastin growth. GHK-Cu is also 20-60% more effective at promoting collagen building than Vitamin C or retinoic acid, so I use it as an alternative to retinols when my skin gets too dehydrated & leathery from retinoids. This is the second bottle of this product I've used and it's ideal for all the reasons I keep a copper peptide serum on hand.
I also love that there is so much goodness in such a light, fast-absorbing formula. The concentration of copper cannot be really high, and the other ingredients that are also top collagen-promoting skin conditioners I look for: Aloe Extract, Licorice, seaweed ferment, bifida ferment, hyaluronic acid, beta glucans & centella. The only ingredient I'm unfamiliar wth is radish root, which I believe is a natural antibacterial perservative. There are no ingredients of a synthetic or chemical nature, which explains why it's so light and non-pilling unlike so many other serums one tries to layer.
