GHK-Ci, more commonly known as copper peptides, are naturally found in the body and activate a wide range of skin functions. For example, multiple metabolic pathways within the skin require copper peptides to act as a catalyst to maintain the functions of the skin barrier and regulate the appearance of skin tone. Using copper peptides in your skincare allows the enhancement of the natural functions of the skin, resulting in improvements in skin radiance.

GHK-Cu also works to stimulate the production of naturally occurring molecules that contribute to reduced signs of ageing, resulting in the improved look of skin elasticity, density and firmness of the skin,

Antioxidants and Skin Defense

Daily exposure to damaging environmental stressors, like UV rays, air pollutants, pesticides, alcohol, and vehicle fuel, can trigger oxidative stress, which can significantly impact the skin.

The Science of Hydration

Dehydration occurs when there is a disruption to our skin's natural moisture balance, loading to a deficiency of water in the outermost layer.

Exposure to a variety of environmental stressors, such as excessive sun exposure, harsh weather conditions, and air pollution can contribute to stripping away the skin's natural moisture. Lifestyle factors such as low water intake, diet, sleep and how we handle stress, can cause further disruptions.

The result is a compromised skin barrier that struggles to retain moisture, manifesting in dull, sensitive, or lax skin and increased look of ageing.

Environmental stressors in our skin can "steal" an electron away from a healthy and stable molecule. Then, that newly injured molecule repeats the process and goes out in search of an electron to repair itself.

A single environmental stressor can start a chain reaction that results in the disruption of multiple skin processes. This can be extremely damaging to skin, manifesting as dehydration, lack of elasticity and firmness, uneven tone and dullness, as well as premature signs of ageing.

Antioxidants are important because they are our skin's support system against the environmental stressors, working to minimize the damage induced by them. This helps improve visible skin ageing, resulting in healthier-looking skin.
