What is the GHK-Cu Face Cream?
A moisturizer’s job is to keep skin comfortable for hours and to hold the lighter layers underneath in place. This GHK-Cu cream does that with a rich-yet-light texture that absorbs without heaviness or shine, pairing two humectants, hyaluronic acid and glycerin, with panthenol, aloe vera and allantoin for a soft, soothed feel.
Skin feels comfortably moisturized through the day, and with regular use the cream helps improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity. Skin looks smoother, refreshed and healthy, with a soft, natural finish.

About GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1)
GHK-Cu combines glycyl-histidyl-lysine, a peptide first described in human plasma by Loren Pickart and Martin Thaler in 1973, with a copper(II) ion that it binds very strongly. On ingredient labels it appears as copper tripeptide-1, and it has become one of the most recognized peptides in cosmetic skincare.

Pairing tips
Works well with
- The GHK-Cu Facial Serum underneath
- The GHK-Cu Facial Toner after cleansing
- The GHK-Cu Tallow Balm instead, on very dry days
Keep to a separate routine
- Direct exfoliating acids (AHAs, and BHAs such as salicylic acid)
- Pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and other strong antioxidants
- Retinoids
Copper peptide makers commonly advise against applying copper peptides in the same routine as these ingredients. If they are part of your regimen, use them at a different time from the cream.
Good to know: for external use only. Patch test on a small area 24 to 48 hours before first use. Avoid the eye area, don’t apply to broken or irritated skin, and stop using the cream if irritation develops. Scoop with clean, dry fingers, keep the jar tightly closed, away from heat and direct sunlight, and out of reach of children.

Yes. It absorbs without heaviness or shine. In the morning, apply sunscreen after the cream and before makeup.
How much should I use?

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
