What are
Copper Peptides?
How are Copper Peptides utilized in skincare?
Copper peptides offer numerous skincare benefits, and numerous skincare regimens incorporate them to enhance overall complexion and skin wellness.
Unlike many skincare ingredients, copper peptides actually absorb deep into the skin, below the epidermis, working as a signal to trigger the skin to produce collagen and elastin. By hydrating and rejuvenating skin cells, copper peptides may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and help balance skin tone.
The healing properties of copper peptides also help sustain skin health and hair growth by functioning as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals in the body. Copper peptides also promote the production of glycosaminoglycans, including hyaluronic acid, which helps moisturize and hydrate the skin barrier.
What can
Copper Peptides treat?
Fine lines and wrinkles: By increasing collagen production in the skin, copper peptides may help tighten sagging skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Elasticity loss: Elastin is the protein in the skin that promotes elasticity, or the skin’s capacity to stretch back into place. As you age, elastin production decreases, and your skin loses elasticity. Copper peptides help stimulate elastin production, improving skin elasticity.
Hyperpigmentation: Hyperpigmentation – dark patches of skin which result from melanin overproduction – can occur for many reasons, including inflammation from pimples, sun exposure, medication side effects, or general injuries. Copper peptides help balance skin tone and reduce the appearance of blemishes, acne scars, and age spots by treating inflammation.
UV damage: Both free radicals and the sun’s UV rays damage the skin’s ability to regenerate, causing wrinkles, age spots, and in some cases, skin cancer. Copper peptides may positively impact skin fibroblasts – cells that generate connective tissue – combating UV damage to the skin barrier.
