GHK-Cu, The Next-Level of Copper Peptide
Tripeptide-1 Regenerates Mature Skin
It's back in stock! GHK-Cu peptide is super popular and very hard to find! One gram of pure GHK powder! Our GHK Copper Peptide is a blue powder.
It contains no water, glycerin, alcohol, preservatives, or other chemical fillers. Please note that you only need to use a small amount of powder in your formulations.
GHK-Cu, tripeptide-1, is made up of three essential amino acids (glycyl-histidyl-lysine). Dr. Loren Pickart discovered Copper Peptide's significant regenerating benefits in the 1970s.
Dr. Pickart noted in his scientific studies that GHK-Cu addressed the signs of aging that occur in our 20s.
Where Does GHK Copper Peptide Come From?
GHK is a naturally occurring peptide that is isolated from plasma.
Like a regular copper peptide, it is known for promoting healthy skin. Plus, regenerating collagen substantially diminishes the effects of photoaging, expression lines, and wrinkles on the face, neck, and chest.
You can use it on your face and body in skincare products and add it to hair and nail products.
GHK is a copper-binding peptide that occurs naturally in the human body. It helps rebuild the dermis layers by increasing the skin's thickness. At age 20, our skin replenishes itself every three weeks.
By age 50, the regeneration process has slowed to every nine weeks. GHK supports the functioning of healthy skin cells by adding beneficial moisture.
Water-holding glycosaminoglycans (GAGS) and glycans nourish your skin. They keep it plump and hydrated for more extended periods.
It also reduces our complexion's breakdown due to elasticity loss, cross-linked collagen, and other age-related factors. These factors can often be the cause of why wrinkle formation begins. Healthy skin looks youthful.
Copper Peptide for Hair, Skin, and Nails
GHK copper peptide is a potent blue ingredient. It is highly sought after in cosmetics and hard to find. Dr. Oz has raved about this little miracle ingredient on his daytime TV show.
You can add it to almost any lotion, cream, or serum, or you can use it in your homemade formulas. It is also terrific in hair and nail formulas.
To address the signs of aging due to sun exposure and chronological aging on your face, order a bottle of GHK copper peptide today and find out how useful it can boost your skincare regimen.
Targets:
Bonded GHK amino acid strands and copper ions are common and beneficial to the human body. For example, GHK copper peptide is the perfect ingredient to target fine lines and wrinkles, photo-aged skin, and even minor scar tissue.
The more you use this fantastic peptide, the more significant the improvement you'll notice on your skin.
- Anti-aging
- Anti-wrinkle
- Sensitive skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- It supports a healthy skin barrier
- Collagen and elastin promotion
- Cellular regeneration
GHK is incredibly gentle, with little chance of any sensitivity or reaction in even the most delicate skin. It is an alternative to Retin-A or other ingredients that can cause redness or irritate the face.
Beauty Powerhouse
If you want to purchase name-brand products that already contain GHK copper peptide, you could pay upwards of $200-300 for a single container of cream or serum.
Some designer brands and products that include GHK copper peptide in their active ingredients lists include but are most definitely not limited to:
- Sunday Riley Bionic Anti-Aging Cream
- Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Blue Copper 5 Firming Elasticity Repair Cream
- Beautopia Copper Peptide Night Cream With Retinol
Effective anti-aging products shouldn't break the bank at Skin Perfection. So, by adding GHK copper peptide to your favorite existing product or adding it to a homemade recipe, you can save a lot of money and get better results, too.

Questions & Answers
Have a Question?
-
You sell both the Copper powder and the liquid version with the dropper. When is there an advantage to using powder vs the liquid Copper peptide? I would assume that the powder is more difficult to disperse?
The difference is that you have more control over the percentage used with the powder. Both Copper Peptides are water-soluble and easy to disperse.
-
I have been ordering this every few months, but now it is out of stock. When do you expect to get it back in stock ? Please help.
Great news! The GHK Copper Peptide is in stock!
-
can you mix it with hyaluronic acid and other peptides?
Yes, GHK can be mixed with other peptides and Hyaluronic Acid. It should not be mixed with Vitamin C or Retinol.
-
how do you measure 0.1 g?
The best way to measure is an electronic scale. .1ml in a 1-ounce formula is .02 teaspoons.
-
My product has a little bit of citric acid, would this conflict with the peptides?
Citric Acid is generally used to adjust the ph of a formula, it should not interfere with copper peptides.
-
What size is the size of the container? How much product does it contain? Thank You.
The GHK Copper Peptide comes in a 1 gram jar.
1 gram will make a 1% concentration in 100ml. -
The GHK Copper Peptide is still showing as "out of stock". How do I add it to my order? Thank You.
Good news! The GHK Copper Peptide is in stock! We do sell out fast. Please let us know if we are out of stock as it is usually on order and will be restocked very soon.
-
can I put the GHK powder directly into a cream without diluting it with water first? Will it completely blend without diluting?
The GHK Copper Peptide powder is very fine. It completely dissolves in water on its own. However, if you add the powder to water or any liquid and it doesn't dissolve right away, you can do one of 2 things. Let it sit for a few minutes until fully dissolved, or you can gently stir the liquid until dissolved. It is very easy to use.
To add to a powder, we recommend mixing it with a hand blender for approximately 2 minutes.
You can also dilute the powder with a 1:1 ratio and add it to a cream base. The 1:1 means one part powder to one part liquid. -
Here are no directions for the copper powder. Your liquid copper says to add 9 drops to 30ml for a 1% concentration. How much of the powder copper I ordered do I need to add for the same 1% in 30 ml? Thank you.
As with all of our products, the instructions for each individual product can be found under the "how to use" tab on the product page.
Here are the intructions:
We recommend adding a 1 - 3% concentration of GHK copper peptide tripeptide-1 powder to your homemade skin, nail, or hair care recipe. This will give you a clinical-strength product with 1% pure GHK.
For a 1% concentration, add 1 gram to 100 ml of base.
For a 3% concentration, add 1 gram to 33 ml of base. -
What should I use as a base with GHK copper peptide powder?
For a facial serum, you can use any water-soluble base such as Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe, or any Hydrosol. If you are making a hair tonic, any hydrosol or tea tincture.
-
Can GHK Copper Peptide be used in combination with Bakuchiol? I understand it's not advised to use with Retinol. Thank you.
Yes, copper peptides can be used with bakuchiol in your skincare routine. Both ingredients have unique benefits that complement each other nicely. Copper peptides are known for their regenerating properties and ability to promote collagen and elastin production, which can enhance skin firmness and reduce wrinkles. Bakuchiol, on the other hand, offers gentle retinol-like benefits without irritation, helping to improve skin texture and tone. Using them together can give your skin a rejuvenating boost, making it look healthier and more vibrant.
Retinol is an agressive ingredient that increases cell turnover and helps promote a more youthful complexion. Bakuchiol has the effects of retinol, but in a gentler fashion that doesn't cause irritation.

Based on one of the answers here, 1 gram of powder added to 100 ml will make a 1% solution. If I understand that correctly, I have added the 1 gram of powder to 1 ounce of hyaluronic acid and that makes approximately a 3% solution, correct? Is this too concentrated for facial application? If not, does it matter how much I use on my face each night? If so, can I add some of the prepared solution to a moisturizer and apply it that way to be safer? Thank you!
Yes, that is correct. 1 gram of GHK-Cu Powder can be added to 100ml for a 1% concentration. Adding 1 gram to 33ml will make a 3% concentration. 1 ounce of Hyaluronic Acid is 30ml. The serum that you made is just over a 3% concentration. For hair and facial applications, we recommend using a .1 to 3% concentration. We do recommend staying within the manufacturers guidelines, you could add a small amount of Hyaluronic Acid or add the prepared solution to your moisturizer. Please note that the manufacurer recommendation has changed from .1 - 1% to .1 - 3% recently. We are working to update all information on our website with the new guidelines.
-
Do you need to add Leucidal Liquid Radish Root to the Craft Your Hair Peptide Serum? Is the Rosemary acting as a preservative?
No, you do not need to add an additional preservative as hydrosols are already preserved.
-
Can this be combined with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20? Can this be combined with Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20, so all 4?
Yes, you can use the GHK Copper Peptide with Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20. It can also be used with Myristoyl Hexapeptide-16, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-20.
-
Can I apply Vitamin C after I use the Copper Powder mixed in hyaluronic acid?
Vitamin C and copper peptide should not be used together.
We recommend using them on different days. However, you can also use one in the morning and a different one at night.
For example, use your vitamin C serum in the morning and then replace it with your copper peptide serum at night.
If you are only using a copper peptide serum once a day, it is best to use at night because it is regenerating. -
I purchased your GHK-copper peptide powder and added it to a natural serum that is more oil based and it won't dissolve. Did I ruin it? Now it's more like a mini exfoliant because it won't dissolve. What are my options?
The GHK Copper Peptide Powder is water-soluble. There are a couple of things you can try. First, use a handblender and mix until well blended. If the blending doesn't dissolve the powder, you try adding some vegetable glycerin and blend or you can heat the oil and blend with a handblender.
-
If I add the powder to hyaluronic acid, does the hyaluronic acid need to be refrigerated?
No, you do not need to refrigerate the final product or serum that you make if you use our Hyaluronic Acid.
The Hyaluronic Acid uses Leucidal Liquid to preserve the product. -
Sweet! I am trying to make something similar to Vitali (previously Restoracell) that worked great on my skin but is TOO expensive. Its ingredients are: 500mg GHK-Cu Peptide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 GHK Peptide*, Macrocystis Pyrifera Extract, Silk Amino Acids, Hyaluronic Acid. Which serum of yours do you think would be close?
Start with our Hyaluronic Acid as your base. Then add GHK Copper Peptide, Pepha Tight, and Argireline. Or you can start with Peptide Fusion and add GHK Copper Peptide powder.
