Unlock the antiaging power of Copper Peptide

We have all heard about peptides, but have you heard of copper peptides? Among the various types of peptides available, copper peptide is a carrier peptide that delivers minerals to the skin to boost collagen. These minerals are essential for wound healing and also help with sagging skin, lines and wrinkles, and to improve skin firmness and texture.

What are the benefits of copper peptides?

Copper peptides aren’t new and have been around since the 90s. Their antiaging skincare benefits have been tried and tested, from stimulating collagen production to slowing down the formation of lines and wrinkles.

Collagen and elastin are essential for firm and smooth skin and as we get older, stores of these deplete, creating the appearance of wrinkles, and sagging skin. Consistent use of copper peptide have been shown to boost collagen and elastin production, while also promoting the production of gylcoaminoglycans, similar to hyaluronic acid, which help to plump up fine lines and improve the skin’s moisture levels.

Copper peptides are also known to have antioxidant benefits. Antioxidants are important for protecting and repairing the skin from free radicals, which can be derived from sun exposure, pollutants and smoking. These cause cell damage and can speed up the rate of aging.

Last but not least, copper peptides have been shown to have anti-inflammatory benefits and can help with wound healing by stimulating the breakdown of large collagen in scar tissue, and assist with calming the skin and improving the appearance of acne scars.

Who should use copper peptide

Given its wide-ranging benefits, copper peptides is suited for everyone from their 20s to 60s and can be used to target different skin concerns.

Copper peptides are best used with another product to boost the efficacy and results of the ingredients. For instance, when paired with niacinamide, they create a power duo to get rid of acne scars. Another great combination is to pair copper peptide with retinol to target lines and improve skin texture and firmness.

It is not recommended to use copper peptide with Vitamin C as copper peptide oxidizes Vitamin C and negates the antioxidant benefits.
