PLU Laboratories topical GHK-Cu serum - Face Tonic and Hair Tonic

Topical vs Injectable Copper Peptides

Many people have heard about GHK-Cu through injectable peptide protocols. Athletes, biohackers, and longevity enthusiasts inject copper peptides because research suggests they may support tissue remodeling and collagen production. But injectable copper peptides require needles, precise dosing, medical knowledge, and often cost $300-500+ per protocol cycle.

The NIH-published research on GHK-Cu examined this copper peptide as a topical application. The research describes its role in tissue remodeling, wound healing processes, and various biological activities when applied to skin and hair. Our topical GHK-Cu serum delivers clinical concentrations you can apply at home in 30 seconds.

Why Choose Topical Over Injectable GHK-Cu?

No Needles Required

Apply topical GHK-Cu serum directly to skin or scalp. No injections, no medical appointments, no discomfort. The NIH research examined topical applications.

Significantly Lower Cost

Injectable GHK-Cu protocols can cost $300-500+ per cycle at clinics or through peptide suppliers. Our topical system delivers clinical concentrations for a fraction of the cost.

Research-Backed Topical Use

The NIH research specifically studied GHK-Cu as a topical application on skin and hair follicles, examining its effects on tissue appearance and biological processes.

Zero Recovery Time

Injectable protocols may cause injection site reactions. Topical copper peptides work while you go about your day with no downtime, no bruising, no inflammation.

The Science of Topical Copper Peptides

GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper peptide that has been extensively studied for topical applications. The IJMS published research describes its role in tissue remodeling, wound healing processes, and interactions with various cell types in skin and hair follicles.

GHK-Cu for Skin Appearance

Research suggests topical copper peptides may support the appearance of skin firmness, fine lines, and skin texture through their role in tissue processes and collagen production pathways.

Dual-Peptide Systems

PLU combines GHK-Cu with complementary peptides: Matrixyl 3000 for skin (Face Tonic) and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 for hair (Hair Tonic). Clinical concentrations without filler dilution.

Our Face Tonic delivers 1% GHK-Cu + complete Matrixyl 3000 (3% Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7) for comprehensive skin appearance support. No hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, or other fillers that reduce peptide concentrations studied in research.

Complete Topical GHK-Cu System

Most customers use both Face Tonic and Hair Tonic together as a comprehensive topical peptide routine. Total daily application time: under one minute.

Both products use clinical concentrations of active ingredients studied in published research. The NIH research examined GHK-Cu across different tissue types, suggesting benefits for both skin and hair appearance when applied topically.

What to Expect From Topical GHK-Cu

Most users report visible improvements within 6-8 weeks of consistent daily use. The NIH research suggests that topical copper peptides work gradually through various biological processes to support tissue appearance.

  • Weeks 1-2: Skin feels smoother, hair appears healthier-looking. Initial improvements in texture and appearance.
  • Weeks 3-4: Visible improvements in skin texture appearance. Hair looks fuller at roots. Fine lines may appear less prominent.
  • Weeks 6-8: Notable improvements in skin firmness appearance and hair density. Customers often report compliments during this phase.
  • Weeks 8+: Continued support for skin and hair appearance with consistent daily use of topical copper peptides. Long-term benefits accumulate.
