Copper Peptide Solution promotes and supports the synthesis of collagen. It can be used to restore skin firmness and smoothness and may help reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Mix it into your favorite base cream or water-based formula. Skin Actives Copper Peptide liquid solution contains 0.1% copper peptide which provides you with the exact amount to mix it into 4oz of base cream, making it easy to make your own custom copper peptide formulation.

Please note that the pure copper peptide we use is blue in color. We dilute it in a solution which eliminates almost all of the color. This amount is based on published studies demonstrating that amount is optimal for maximum collagen production.  Using higher concentrations of copper has been shown to be harmful to your skin. For a safer alternative, we recommend Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF).
