Copper Peptides
The umbrella term for the copper-binding peptides used across the system.
What it is
Copper Peptides is the umbrella term for the family of small copper-binding peptides used in the LooksMaxx Cell Signaling Complex™. GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu are the two best-documented members of the family. Valued in cosmetic literature for their signal-supporting role rather than for any single visible mechanism, and recognizable as a family by the distinctive blue tint copper-binding gives the resulting formula.
