If you want to rejuvenate your skin for a more youthful appearance, GHK-Cu is the peptide you’re looking for. GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) is a naturally occurring human tri-peptide with multiple positive biological actions. GHK is known to decline with age. By stimulating blood vessels and nerve growth, and increasing collagen and elastin, GHK has the ability to greatly improve and repair tissues of the skin, lung, connective tissue, bone, liver, and stomach lining depending on the route of administration.
GHK’s powerful cellular protective actions include; many anti-cancer activities, ant-inflammatory actions, lung protection and restoration, suppression of NFkB (a molecule suspected of accelerating the disease of aging, anxiety, pain, and aggression), repairing DNA, and activating cellular clean-up mechanisms.
GHK-Cu, discovered in 1973, is a powerful protective and regenerative ingredient widely utilized in skin and hair products. Its safety profile in sunscreens, facial creams, serums, and anti-wrinkle formulations has been well-established.
GHK-Cu has the ability to: tighten loose skin, reverse the thinning of aged skin, repair protective firmness, elasticity, and clarity, reduce fine lines, depth of wrinkles, and improve structures of aged skin, smooth rough skin, reduce photodamage and mottled hyperpigmentation, improve skin spots and lesions, improve overall skin appearance, stimulate wound healing, protect skin cells from UV radiation, reduce inflammation and free radical damage, increase hair growth and thickness, and enlarge hair follicle size.
GHK’s ability to bind to copper ions and its important role in copper metabolism was once thought to be GHK’s primary mechanism. However, in 2010, researcher demonstrated GHK can also up and down-regulate a significant number of human genes.
GHK-CU’s ability to improve aged skin has been demonstrated by numerous research studies. One such study included 71 women with mild to advanced signs of photoaging. GHK-Cu was applied for 12 weeks to the facial skin resulting in improved skin density and thickness, reduced laxity, improved clarity, reduced fine lines, and depth of wrinkles.
Applied to the skin of the thigh for 12 weeks, GHK-Cu improved collagen production in 70% of the women treated, in contrast to 50% treated with the vitamin C cream, and 40% treated with retinoic acid. Besides improving skin laxity, clarity, firmness, and appearance, reducing fine lines, coarse wrinkles, and mottled pigmentation, and increasing skin density and thickness, GHK-Cu cream applied twice daily for 12 weeks also strongly stimulated dermal keratinocyte proliferation.
