Your body's best-kept secret.

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper complex) is a naturally occurring peptide first identified in human blood plasma in 1973. Your body already produces it. It is one of the most studied peptides in cosmetic science, long valued for its association with firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin.

The problem: GHK-Cu levels in your body decline steadily with age. By 60, you have roughly 60% less than you did at 20. A topical copper peptide serum helps skin look replenished, firm, and resilient, the way it looked when it was younger.

Questions you'd actually ask.

GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring peptide found in human blood plasma, saliva, and urine. Discovered in 1973, it is one of the most extensively studied peptides in cosmetic skincare, long valued for its role in the look of firm, smooth, healthy-looking skin.

GHK-Cu is generally well-tolerated and is often chosen for sensitive skin. That said, we recommend a patch test on a small area before full application. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your dermatologist.

Most users notice improved hydration and skin feel within the first 1-2 weeks. Texture and tone improvements typically appear around weeks 4-6. For visible firmness and fine line reduction, consistent use over 8-12 weeks aligns with clinical study timelines. Skincare is a long game.

Yes, but with a caveat. GHK-Cu and retinol can complement each other, but using both simultaneously may increase sensitivity. We recommend applying GHK-Cu in the morning and retinol at night, or alternating evenings. Listen to your skin.

Same formula, different size. The 1oz bottle is a 30-day supply at twice-daily use. The 2oz is a 60-day supply and saves you $15 compared to buying two 1oz bottles. If you know you're committing to the routine, the 2oz is the better value.

No. Derma Cu is cruelty-free. We do not test on animals at any stage of development or production.

The Starter Kit includes one 1oz bottle of GHK-Cu Renewal Serum, a hydrating peptide mist for prep and refresh throughout the day, and a printed application guide with routine tips and ingredient breakdowns.

Yes. You can cancel or pause your subscription at any time through your account portal. No contracts, no penalties, no fine print. If you want to stop, you stop.
