GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper peptide best known for skin repair, collagen stimulation, and anti-inflammatory effects, so its widely used for antiaging and barrier support
These signaling behaviors are closely associated with dermal and connective environments where coordinated peptide activity contributes to integrated structural organization and adaptive cellular response
It also acts as a potent anti-inflammatory, which is why it has been explored as a replacement for corticosteroids in certain inflammatory skin conditions
The INCI designation for AHK-Cu is Copper Tripeptide-1 Acetate (commonly marketed as Copper Peptide AHK-Cu)
