Description
CopperGlow is a 100mL moisturizing cream with two peptides in it: GHK-Cu, the copper peptide, and SNAP-8. It comes in an airless jar, so the cream isn’t exposed to air or fingers every time you use it. It’s in stock now for $89.00.
GHK-Cu cream ingredients
GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) is the three-amino-acid peptide glycine-histidine-lysine bound to a copper ion. Loren Pickart first isolated it from human plasma in 1973, and it’s one of the most studied peptides in skin care, mostly in creams tested for firmness and fine lines.
SNAP-8 (acetyl octapeptide-3) is an eight-amino-acid peptide built as a longer version of Argireline. In the lab it competes with SNAP-25, a protein nerve endings need to signal muscles, which is why it turns up in creams aimed at expression lines.

Using GHK-Cu cream
Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin morning and evening, after any serum and before sunscreen in the day. A pea-sized amount covers the face, and a little more takes in the neck.
Before the first full use, try a small amount on the inside of your wrist and leave it for a day. Skip the product if it gets red or itchy.
Who GHK-Cu cream is for
CopperGlow is the one to try if you want a copper peptide cream without mixing anything yourself. It suits normal to dry skin and anyone starting to notice fine lines around the eyes and mouth. Copper peptides don’t make skin sun-sensitive, so it works fine in the morning.
Why an airless jar? A pump pushes cream up from the bottom, so the rest stays sealed. Peptides and copper complexes last longer when they’re not exposed to air, and you never put a finger into the product.
One tip: don’t use it at the same time as a strong vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) serum. Acids can pull the copper out of GHK-Cu. Use the vitamin C in the morning and CopperGlow at night, or wait about 20 minutes between them.
Adding GHK-Cu cream to your routine
A cream is the last step before sunscreen in the morning and the last step at night. It seals in whatever serums went on before it. If you use a retinoid or an exfoliating acid, put it on first, let it dry for a few minutes, then use the cream on top to cut down on dryness.
When to expect results from GHK-Cu cream
Skin feels softer and more hydrated within the first week. Firmness and fine lines take longer, usually eight to twelve weeks of daily use, since collagen builds slowly. Use it every day; skipping days slows it down.
Common mistakes with GHK-Cu cream
A few things that hold people back:
- Using too much. A pea-sized amount for the face is enough, and more just sits on the surface.
- Putting it on before serums. Thin layers go first and the cream goes on top.
- Giving up after two weeks. Firmness changes take two to three months.
