Copper-binding tripeptide in a cushiony leave-on cream base

Copper Peptide Renewal Cream

Also known as Copper Tripeptide Cream, GHK-Cu Cream

INCI name · Copper Tripeptide-1

The same iconic copper peptide, carried in a cushiony cream for morning and evening — for skin that looks supple, refreshed, and smooth. For external cosmetic use only.

Some people want their copper peptide in a serum; others want it in a cream they can smooth on and be done. This is the cream side of the copper-peptide story — Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) carried in a richer, more emollient base that finishes the routine in a single step.

The active is the same beloved copper tripeptide. What changes is the texture and the ritual: where a serum is a drop-and-layer step, this is the cushiony last thing you reach for, morning and night.

Same copper peptide, a different texture

The star ingredient is Copper Tripeptide-1 — GHK-Cu, the copper-bound tripeptide at the center of our copper collection. Here it sits in a cream base built for cushion and glide rather than the fast, weightless feel of a serum.

That makes it a lovely choice for drier days, cooler months, or anyone who prefers a single moisturizing step to a stack of thin layers. The finish is soft and cared-for rather than tacky.

Where a cream earns its place

A cream does two jobs at once: it carries the copper peptide and it leaves a comfortable, conditioned feel on the surface. For a simple routine, that combination is the whole point — one considered step that supports the look of supple, refreshed, resilient-looking skin.

It pairs naturally with the GHK-Cu serum for anyone who likes serum-then-cream, or it can stand on its own as the copper-peptide step for a pared-back shelf.

The blue tint and what it means

Like any genuine copper-peptide formula, a faint blue cast is normal — it's the bound copper in Copper Tripeptide-1, not a colorant. In a cream that color often reads softer than in a clear serum, which is simply the base doing its work.

How to use it

External use only. As the last step of your routine, smooth a small amount over the face and neck morning and evening. If you also use the GHK-Cu serum, apply the serum first and let it settle, then follow with the cream. Patch-test on the inner arm before first use and discontinue if irritation occurs. Store cool and out of direct sun.

Common questions

Is the cream stronger than the serum?

It isn't a matter of strength — both feature the same copper peptide, Copper Tripeptide-1. The cream simply carries it in a more emollient, cushiony base for a single moisturizing step.

Can I use the cream and the GHK-Cu serum together?

Yes. A common approach is serum first, allowed to settle, then the cream as the finishing layer.
