Copper is thought to improve elasticity of skin. It removes damaged collagen and elastin, and stimulates renewed production of these proteins that are crucial for healthy skin. Copper peptides promote firmness while minimising wrinkles and fine lines. They also encourage wound healing and battle dark spots associated with hyperpigmentation.
People have used copper for thousands of years, right back to the Ancient Egyptians. It's naturally present in your skin tissue in peptide form, which are short strings of amino acids. Collagen and elastin production diminishes as you age. Using copper peptides on your skin helps to stimulate it.
Anyone looking to get rid of hyperpigmentation or reduce the appearance of scarring. It's best not to use copper with vitamin C, retinol, or alpha hydroxy acids.
