What is the GHK-Cu Facial Cleanser?
Cleansing sets the tone for everything that follows. A harsh cleanser can leave skin tight before the rest of the routine even starts, so this one is formulated to lift away sweat, oil, everyday impurities and makeup while hyaluronic acid, glycerin and aloe vera keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.
It works into a mild, creamy lather and rinses away cleanly, which makes it comfortable enough for twice-daily use, including on sensitive skin. Freshly cleansed skin is then ready for the toner, serum and moisturizer steps that follow.

| Aloe vera extract | A botanical for a calm, comfortable feel. |

About GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1)
GHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide glycyl-histidyl-lysine, identified in human plasma in 1973 and now a familiar cosmetic ingredient listed as copper tripeptide-1. In a rinse-off cleanser it is on the skin only briefly, so think of this cleanser as the gentle first step that keeps the routine consistent, with the toner, serum and cream doing the leave-on work.

How often should I use it?
Morning and evening, as the first step of your routine.
