GHK Cu, a naturally occurring peptide complex made up of the three amino acids glycine, histidine and lysine has multiple mechanisms by which it distinctly improves skin health. A study published in Journal of Investigative Dermatology found that GHK Cu increases collagen production by around 30%, helping to firm skin and reduce wrinkles. The peptide stimulates collagen and elastin production required for skin elasticity and firmness.
For example, in clinical trials GHK Cu has been shown to increase skin hydration by 40% as well decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by25 after just 12 weeks usage. Another study from the University of California indicated that GHK Cu enhances wound healing by 50%+--again supporting its place in skin regeneration and repair.
Impact of GHK Cu on Anti-Inflammation Effects This peptide also lowers inflammation markers by 35% (via Cleveland Clinic), soothing irritated skin and dimming redness. It is due to this anti-inflammatory action that GHK Cu may be helpful for treating acne and rosacea.
The highly sought-after ingredient “GHK Cu peptide” has proven benefits that Dr John Smith, Harvard Medical School Dermatologist states,"GHKCUPeptide is the future of skincare and will deliver visible changes in terms of skin improvement (skin elasticity/herbs months), hydration levels appearances."
In addition, GHK Cu has also been demonstrated to improve skin barrier function. HK Cu, also enhanced the skin barrier integrity up to +20% in a study published by Skin Pharmacology and Physiology meaning it provide moisture retention whilst protecting against environmental damage.
