5 reasons women over 40 are switching to GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu can stimulate collagen production after perimenopause and beyond.


1

Your makeup starts sitting right again

The first thing most women notice isn't the mirror. It's the foundation.

When skin thins, makeup has nothing even to sit on, so it slides into every line and clings to the texture instead of covering it. Rebuild what's underneath and the surface it's sitting on changes.

Nobody buys a serum to fix their foundation. It's just usually the first thing that gives it away.


2

The crepey texture on your cheeks smooths out

Crepiness is thin skin. There's still skin there — it just has nothing holding it taut, so it creases at the smallest movement.

GHK-Cu signals the cells that build collagen and elastin to get to work. That's the layer that thinned, and rebuilding it is what smooths the surface back out.

Most women see the texture change first.


3

It keeps working after the moisturiser has worn off

You know the afternoon feeling. Cream goes on, skin feels better, and by three o'clock it's gone.

Moisturiser hydrates the top layer. GHK-Cu isn't sitting on the surface waiting to wear off — it's a signal to the layer beneath it, working while you go about your day.


4

You can finally use something without it stinging

Retinoids, acids and peels work by damaging skin in a controlled way so it repairs itself stronger. After 40, a lot of women find their skin can't take that anymore.

GHK-Cu isn't doing anything to your skin. Nothing to purge, nothing to peel, nothing to sting.

It's usually the thing women land on after everything else started hurting.


5

You feel it the first night, and it builds from there

Comfort.The hyaluronic acid pulls water back into the surface. Skin feels comfortable again by morning.

Week 8
Crepiness.The crepey texture on your cheeks softens.
Week 12
Firmness.This is when the new collagen shows. Most women notice something in the first week, and it keeps going from there.

12 weeks apart

Skin changes slowly enough that you won't catch it in the mirror. Side by side is where most women see it.

What to look for

GHK-Cu appears on labels as copper tripeptide-1. It was first identified in human blood in 1973 and has been studied for decades in wound healing and tissue repair. In one head-to-head measuring procollagen production, a copper peptide outperformed both vitamin C and tretinoin.

What matters is the dose and what else is in the bottle. You don't need a twelve-step routine at this stage — you need the signal, and a formula with nothing in it that's going to set your skin off.

What women using it say

I'd got to the point where everything I put on my face stung. This is the first thing in two years that didn't.

★★★★★ Karen M.

My makeup stopped sitting right about a year ago and I blamed the foundation. Bought three new ones. It was never the foundation.

★★★★★ Diane R.

I'm 51. Twelve weeks in and my cheeks don't have that crinkled look anymore. My daughter noticed before I did.

★★★★★ Susan T.


Your makeup sits right again because the surface it's sitting on has changed.
