Science Supports Using Copper Peptide in Anti Aging Skin Care Products

AgeNotes.Com brings you this article as part of a series discussing details about the ten best over the counter skin care ingredients for effective anti aging skin care. You may wish to review AgeNotes.Com’s list of the ten best anti aging skin care ingredients.

Peptides: Some of the ingredients discussed previously in this article series fall within the peptide classification. Moving beyond that, however, some maintain that copper peptide may be the most effective skin regeneration product on the market.

Several skin care marketers offer products based on copper peptide, but all are derived from patents held by a physician in the U.S. The science behind copper peptides for skin care relates to earlier wound healing and skin regeneration studies of GHK copper peptides demonstrating exceptional effectiveness. Using those studies as a stepping stone, there was a natural progression to offering copper peptide products as wrinkle repair and prevention aids in anti-aging skin care products.

Biochemist, Dr. Loren R. Pickart, developed the first copper peptide products through his graduate work at the University of California – San Francisco in the 1970s. Today, over 40 products based on copper-peptide-induced tissue regeneration are marketed by at least 12 skin care vendors throughout the world.
