Copper peptide serum should be applied after cleansing and toning, on slightly damp skin, to enhance absorption.
Gently pat or massage it onto the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.
Allow it to absorb fully before applying moisturizer and, during the day, finish with sunscreen.
Safe to pair with hydrating ingredientslike hyaluronic acid, glycerin, squalane, and niacinamide (apply peptides first).
Apply once, daily.
DO NOT USE WITH
Do not mix with vitamin C, AHAs, BHAs, or retinoidsin the same routine—these can destabilize copper peptides or cause irritation.
PRECAUTIONS
Patch test is essential. If irritation occurs, cease use and consult a physician. Use only as directed on unbroken skin. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place between 5–25°C. Protect from direct sunlight. Due to the natural ingredients in the serum, colour may vary over time.
CLINICAL TRIAL DETAILS
Patel 2026: Instrument-based study of 30 women (33–77 years) showed 93% increased skin density at week 1, with continued improvement in firmness and fine lines by week 4 using a copper peptide serum.
Kruger et al.: Pilot study confirmed that topical copper tripeptide complexes increase skin thickness in the epidermis and dermis, improve hydration, stimulate collagen synthesis, enhance elasticity, and reduce fine lines.
