Injection

GHK-Cu

A copper-binding peptide, mostly of interest for skin.

What it is

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide your body already makes, and levels fall with age. Most of the interest in it is for skin.

What it's used for

Mostly skin quality, as part of a skin routine. Results vary, and we can't promise one. Whether it fits your plan is the provider's call.

How it's taken

A small under-the-skin injection you give yourself at home. The prescribing provider sets the dose and schedule, and the pharmacy sends written instructions with your order. We walk you through the first one if you'd like. It also comes as an oral strip and in both of our skin serums.

What to expect

Skin changes are slow and steady: think weeks to months. Some people notice redness where they inject.

Who it's not for

  • Anyone who is pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or nursing.
  • Anyone under 18.
  • Anyone with a copper allergy or a copper metabolism disorder such as Wilson's disease.
  • The partner medical intake asks about your health history and current medications, and the provider decides whether it's a fit.
