What is Copper Peptide?

Copper peptide (GHK-Cu) is a powerful anti-aging peptide complex that occurs naturally in the body but diminishes with age, formed by the binding of three amino acids with a copper ion. Supporting collagen and elastin production, this active ingredient offers scientifically proven results in skin rejuvenation and the reduction of aging signs.

The NewLab Copper Peptide Serums and Products

The NewLab has developed scientific formulations to deliver copper peptide technology to your skin in effective concentrations. GHK-Cu serums in our serum range contain this valuable active ingredient in ratios based on clinical studies.

Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care Serum — Multi Peptide & Copper Peptide 1%

Our most preferred copper peptide product, the Advanced Anti-Aging Skin Care Serum, offers a 1% copper peptide concentration combined with a multi-peptide complex. Enriched with powerful anti-aging peptides such as Argireline, Matrixyl 3000, and Syn-Ake, this formula utilizes a multi-layered approach to reduce the appearance of wrinkles while deeply moisturizing and firming the skin.

Anti-Wrinkle Face Serum

For those seeking targeted anti-aging care, the Anti-Wrinkle Face Serum focuses on fine lines and wrinkles with its concentrated formula containing copper peptide. Supported by hyaluronic acid and 4D hyaluronic acid forms, this serum provides an effective solution against both surface and deep wrinkles.

With regular use, an increase in skin firmness and a noticeable reduction in fine lines are observed within 4-8 weeks. 12 weeks is recommended for full results.

What Does Copper Peptide Do for the Skin? What Are Its Benefits?

GHK-Cu provides comprehensive skin transformation through its versatile mechanism of action:

Collagen and Elastin Support: It increases collagen and elastin synthesis by activating fibroblast cells. It also accelerates the breakdown of damaged collagen fibers, paving the way for new, healthy collagen formation. This significantly improves the skin's firmness and elasticity.

Powerful Antioxidant Protection: It acts as a shield against free radicals, protecting the skin from environmental stressors and helping to prevent premature aging.

Skin Barrier Repair: It plays a critical role in strengthening barrier function. The skin's moisture retention capacity increases, resulting in a healthier and plumper appearance.

Tone Balancing and Brightening: It offers effective results in evening out skin tone and reducing the appearance of fine lines.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect: Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, it can be safely used even on sensitive skin and helps reduce redness.

Contributing to a younger, smoother, and more vibrant-looking skin with regular use, this peptide complex can be one of the cornerstones of your anti-aging care routine.

Copper Peptide vs. Retinol: Which is More Effective?

As one of the most compared anti-aging actives in skincare, copper peptide works through different mechanisms than retinol. While retinol acts by accelerating cell turnover, GHK-Cu directly stimulates collagen synthesis and repairs the skin barrier. Copper peptide is generally better tolerated by sensitive skin. When used together, the two actives can produce a synergistic effect; however, for sensitive skin, it is recommended to get used to one before introducing the other.

Copper Peptide vs. Niacinamide: What Are the Differences?

While niacinamide excels in strengthening the skin barrier and reducing the appearance of pores, copper peptide stands out with its collagen production and anti-aging effects. The good news is that these two actives are a perfect match—niacinamide supports the barrier while GHK-Cu handles deep tissue repair. They can easily be combined in the same routine.

Which Skin Type is it Suitable For?

The NewLab's copper peptide formulations are suitable for all skin types:

• Sensitive skin: Can be safely used thanks to its soothing and non-irritating nature.
• Dry skin: Reduces feelings of dryness by supporting moisture balance.
• Oily and combination skin: Helps improve the appearance of pores.
• Mature skin: One of the most effective peptides against signs of aging.
• Dull and tired skin: Evens out skin tone, providing a brighter appearance.
• Normal skin: Helps maintain skin youth as a protective and preventive care measure.

How to Use Copper Peptide Serum?

Proper application ensures you get the maximum benefit from your copper peptide serum:

1. Gently cleanse your skin with a suitable cleanser.
2. Prepare your skin for care by applying a toner.
3. Apply a few drops of the copper peptide serum onto clean, dry skin and distribute evenly across the face and neck area.
4. Gently massage with upward circular motions and allow your skin to fully absorb the product.
5. Apply your moisturizer after the serum has been absorbed.
6. Be sure to add your sunscreen during daytime use.

Tip: For initial use, start by applying 2-3 times a week, then transition to daily use. This serum, which you can include in your morning and evening routine, can also be safely used around the eye area. For a comprehensive anti-aging routine, you can prefer our Advanced Anti-Aging Serum, and for targeted wrinkle care, our Anti-Wrinkle Face Serum.

Best Combinations with Copper Peptide

GHK-Cu pairs perfectly with many active ingredients:

• Hyaluronic Acid: When used together, the skin's hydration and plumping become more pronounced.
• Vitamin C: The antioxidant effect is strengthened, contributing to skin brightening. Important note: Simultaneous use with high concentrations of ascorbic acid may reduce the effectiveness of both actives. Prefer using Vitamin C in your morning routine and copper peptide in your evening routine.
• Niacinamide: Supports the strengthening of the skin barrier and improves the appearance of pores.
• Retinol: Cell turnover is accelerated. Sensitive skin should first try each active separately.

You can create a comprehensive program by supporting your skincare routine with AHA/BHA peels, toners, and creams.

Precautions for Use

• Consult your doctor before use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• A patch test is recommended for extremely sensitive skin or in cases of active acne.
• Be careful not to get the product into your eyes when using it around the eye area.
• Discontinue use and consult a dermatologist in case of any irritation or redness.
• Store opened products in a cool, dry place and pay attention to expiration dates.
