What is

GHK-Cu Cream

GHK-Cu (Glycyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine-Copper) is a naturally occurring tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. When bound to copper (II) ions, it forms a bioactive complex that plays a key role in tissue regeneration, inflammation control, and cellular repair.

Clinically, GHK-Cu has been shown to:

  • Stimulate collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts

  • Promote angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation)

  • Attract immune cells to accelerate wound healing

  • Provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects

  • Modulate gene expression to reverse cells to a healthier, more youthful state

Its cosmetic and therapeutic uses span anti-aging skincare, scar reduction, wound healing, and hair regrowth. GHK-Cu is available in multiple forms — injectable vial, topical cream, and hair/scalp solution — for targeted benefits.

Benefits

  • Accelerates wound healing and tissue repair

  • Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer skin

  • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and skin discoloration

  • Supports hair follicle health and promotes new growth

  • Provides potent antioxidant protection against environmental damage

  • Improves skin elasticity and hydration

Protocols

Content & Potency:

  • 50 ml/bottle (0.2%)

    • Apply thinly to clean skin once or twice daily on face, neck, or target areas.

    Dosing and application frequency may vary based on condition severity, treatment goals, and medical guidance.

  • Avoid use with known allergy to copper or peptides.
  • Avoid contact with eyes.
  • Avoid use on infected or open wounds unless under medical supervision
  • Discontinue if irritation or allergic reaction occur.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before use

  • Clean skin and hands prior to application to ensure optimal absorption.

  • Consistent use for 8–12 weeks for visible results

Procedure

  • Apply a thin, pea-sized amount to clean, dry skin once or twice daily.
  • Gently massage until fully absorbed. Avoid contact with eyes.

  • Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Tighten lid after use, avoid contamination

  • Keep out of reach of children.

Clinical Research

Study:

Effects of GHK-Cu on Gene Expression and Skin Regeneration

Source:

BioMed Research International, 2018

Results:

GHK-Cu restored gene expression in aging cells to a youthful profile, stimulated collagen production by up to 70%, and accelerated wound healing in human skin models. Demonstrated improvement in hair follicle size and activity in scalp applications.
