Restore your skin. Reclaim your youth.

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding tripeptide found in human plasma, saliva, and urine. It was first isolated in 1973. Published research has studied its role in collagen and elastin synthesis, wound healing, hair follicle health, and the regulation of thousands of human genes. Plasma levels of GHK-Cu decline by more than 50% between ages 20 and 60, a decline that correlates with visible skin aging, slower healing, and hair thinning.

Licensed physicians prescribe compounded GHK-Cu formulations to support skin regeneration, photoaging and sun damage repair, hair thinning concerns, post-procedure recovery, and skin barrier restoration. Your physician determines the appropriate formulation and protocol based on your health history and goals.

No. GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved as a drug or injection. It is permitted and widely used as a cosmetic ingredient in over-the-counter skincare products, and licensed compounding pharmacies can legally prepare custom formulations with a physician's prescription. Compounded medications are not FDA-reviewed for safety, quality, or efficacy.

Start with a quick online health assessment. If you are a good candidate, a licensed physician prescribes a personalized GHK-Cu protocol, which may include a topical formulation, an injectable solution, or both. Your order ships directly from a licensed U.S. compounding pharmacy with full instructions, and you have unlimited provider messaging available for ongoing guidance.

Topical GHK-Cu serums work directly on the skin surface and are effective for skin texture, tone, fine lines, and scalp and hair concerns. Injectable GHK-Cu delivers the peptide systemically and may produce broader regenerative effects. Many patients use both. Your physician will recommend the protocol that matches your goals.
