1. Fine lines
The lines that show first are where the underlying framework has thinned. GHK-Cu is studied for its role in how that framework is built and maintained.
2. Wrinkles and firmness
Collagen and elastin only hold skin taut once they're cross-linked into a network and the enzyme that links them needs copper. GHK-Cu carries copper in a stable, well-tolerated form.
3. Dull-looking skin
Dullness is usually a surface story: dead cells, dehydration, and light scattering unevenly instead of reflecting cleanly. Consistent use improves how skin holds moisture, which is what makes it read as brighter.
4. Uneven texture
Not a quick polish — the gradual evening-out that comes from consistency rather than exfoliation. Noticeable in photographs months apart, not in the mirror on day three.
