What are Copper Peptides

As we grow older our skin produces less collagen. As this collagen begins the breaking down process, certain peptides are formed that will act as a signal to let your skin know it has been damaged. This "signal" tells the skin to make new collagen. This means peptides actually stimulate collagen production.

Since peptides are very small and can penetrate to the deepest layers of the skin, copper is often added. Copper is used as a skin healing agent and has been found to be more effective than Vitamin C and Retin-A for developing more collagen.

For an anti aging copper peptide cosmeceutical product to work it should be made into a serum or thin layer of cream that is easily penetrable to the skin. Thick creams will sit on the skins surface and wash off before they are absorbed and can work. Anti aging serums are known for their ability to penetrate both the top and bottom layers of the skin, allowing your skin to receive the full benefit of this active ingredient.

Exfoliation is needed for anti aging actives to perform to their full potential. Otherwise, your anti aging products are sitting on top the skin’s dead cells. Glycolic Acid is a fantastic exfoliator. By alternating glycolic acid with a copper peptide serum, you are sure to have the anti aging benefits you desire.

As always, wishing you only the best!
