“Feels more like water than a serum”

It absorbs quickly and feels more like water than a serum. My skin feels firmer and looks more refreshed, especially in the morning, and I haven't had any irritation.

“I know what I'm putting on my skin”

It's super lightweight and absorbs on my skin quickly. My skin feels hydrated with no sticky after feel. I also like the simplicity of the formula so I know what I'm putting on my skin.

“A staple in my routine”

My complexion looks firmer, smoother, and more even, and it absorbs quickly without any irritation. The formula feels high-quality, and it's become a staple in my routine.

“As someone with drier skin”

Instead of the usual tightness, my skin felt more elastic and healthy looking in the mirror. Within even the first month of use, some patchiness softened and smoothed out.

I started using copper peptides April 29, 2026 and it’s now June 23, 2026. I see a significant difference in my skin firmness - it’s improved, and reduction of sun spots. My skin feels more bouncy too. I love it! 10/10 recommend.

I'm a big fan of the PLU face tonic and am very impressed with the results, so I wanted to leave a review. This has smoothed out the wrinkles on the sides on my eyes. The bags I have under my eyes are less puffy and less noticeable. My skin feels tighter as well. Very impressed with this product and will continue to use. I'm a dude in my mid 30s that doesn't have a skin care routine outside of using lotion. I wanted to try this with getting noticeable wrinkles and it's been easy to use and I saw results within a week. Awesome, awesome product 😎👍

I've been using this light-weight tonic for nearly six months and am delighted to incorporate it into my daily skin regimen. I use it daily in my AM and PM routines. My skin soaks it up immediately. I appreciate the results, including improved skin firmness, a more even tone, and a great barrier against environmental factors.

The customer service is responsive and quickly addresses any order issues or concerns.

I highly recommend the product.

Patricia,

I LOVE this stuff. Has changed my face completely. Helped my recovery time from my tretinoin nights. I use it the night after and it strengthens my barrier and gives me the skin radiance I am looking for.

Isabella - we're glad to hear this helped with your tretinoin recovery. Thanks for being a loyal customer!

I’ve been looking for a copper peptide solution for a few weeks and im glad I finally found one. Been using for 3-4 weeks now and the solution soaks into the skin quick without leaving residue behind. The websites ive read say copper peptide products may take 6 weeks to see results but im definitely seeing firmer skin already.

I’ve been using the face tonic daily for around a month. It absorbs quickly and feels more like water than a serum. My skin feels firmer and looks more refreshed, especially in the morning, and I haven’t had any irritation.

Thanks, Sarah! We're glad you like the product.

I've been using the face tonic for the last few weeks and my skin has never looked better. And just in time for the holidays. I will definitely be getting a resupply

Wyatt

As someone with drier skin, I wasn’t expecting a skin tonic to feel this dramatic. Instead of the usual tightness, my skin felt more elastic and healthy looking in the mirror. Within even the first month of use, some patchiness softened and smoothed out. It’s rare to find something work as consistently as the peptides without irritation.

We're glad to hear this helped your dry skin, Wyatt! Thanks for being a customer!

I’ve only been using this a week and I already see an improvement in my fine lines. It’s rare to see noticeable change after that short time period with any product. I also started using it on my neck and the back of my hands. This stuff is amazing. I highly recommend using this as part of your skincare routine.

Very glad to hear you're seeing great results, Jenny! Thank you for being a loyal customer!

Firmer, healthy, and noticeably less blemishes! I've been using PLU for over a week now and I've really enjoyed it. I've baked it into my daily routine and I'm happy that I did. I would recommend this product to anyone!

Mike Schey

II’ve been using the serum for almost 4 weeks now. I can see some of the fine lines by my eyes and forehead are starting to go away. My skin feels tighter and firmer. I also used to have dark circles under my eyes. This product has also dramatically lightened the circles and bags under my eyes. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to diminish wrinkles, and get noticeably firmer younger looking skin. Great product all around. You should add this to your daily routine.

Edward Soler

Honestly, I didn’t expect to love this face tonic as much as I do. After just a few uses, my skin feels noticeably firmer and looks healthier overall. It soaks in really well and doesn’t leave any greasy feeling. My face feels super clean and refreshed every time I use it. I’ve tried a lot of products that promise results, but this one actually delivers.

What you're putting on your skin

Six ingredients, each with a job.

Three peptide actives, and three ingredients to carry them and keep them stable.

The three that do the work
  • 1%Peptide active

    GHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-1

    The copper peptide studied in skincare for decades, for the look of firmness. More on this Close

    The headline active, at a full 1%, with the concentration confirmed by an outside lab.

  • Peptide active

    Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1

    A signal peptide, half of the Matrixyl 3000 pair, for the look of fine lines. More on this Close

    Matrixyl 3000 is the peptide duo used across premium anti-aging serums. This is the first half.

  • Peptide active

    Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

    The other half of the Matrixyl 3000 pair, for the look of skin texture. More on this Close

    It works alongside Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, which is why the two are always formulated together.

Plus three that carry them
  • Water

    The base. Water based, so it feels like nothing on skin. More on this Close

    No oils and no silicones, which is why it absorbs in seconds and layers cleanly.

  • Glycerin

    A humectant. It carries the peptides and helps skin hold on to moisture. More on this Close

    The workhorse hydrator in skincare, here to move the peptides and keep skin comfortable.

  • Phenoxyethanol

    A gentle preservative, so what is in the bottle stays safe to use. More on this Close

    One preservative at a low level, the standard choice for water based cosmetics.

How to Use Copper Peptides for Face

A simple daily routine for copper peptides:

  1. Start by washing your face and patting it dry
  2. Put a few drops of the serum on your fingertips and gently massage your face and neck
  3. Give the serum 30 seconds to absorb, with no residue or greasiness
  4. Follow up with any other skincare products in your routine, such as moisturizer, sunscreen, or retinol serum

Use morning and/or night for the best results. Consistency is key to making the most of copper peptides for face. Do not miss any days or you may delay results.

Copper Peptides for Skin: Firmer-Looking, More Youthful Appearance

This Palmitoyl Peptides serum pairs Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, a dual-peptide complex known for supporting skin cell communication and minimizing the appearance of fine lines. We've included GHK-Cu (copper peptide complex) because it can support the skin's natural collagen pathways. Potential benefits of our copper peptides for face:

  • Supports Skin Firmness: GHK-Cu copper peptide supports skin's natural collagen pathways for firmer-looking skin appearance
  • Reduces Appearance Of Fine Lines: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 help improve how fine lines and skin texture appear over time
  • Enhances Skin Appearance: Helps retain moisture and even out skin tone for a refreshed, healthy-looking complexion

Our copper peptide serum is formulated to match published research, and customers are seeing visible improvements in skin firmness and fine lines in as little as 1-2 weeks. Weeks 4-8 are when you'll notice the bigger changes in your skin's appearance, though.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are copper peptides good for the face? +

Yes, and there’s plenty of research to support using copper peptides for skin. These formulas can encourage firmer-looking skin and a smoother texture.

What do copper peptides do for your skin? +

They’re signaling peptides that help skin cells communicate effectively. This translates to improvements in the appearance of fine lines, elasticity, and overall skin tone over time.

What skin types react badly to copper peptides? +

None! Copper peptides are generally considered safe for all skin types and ages. Although copper peptides for face are most commonly associated with mature skin concerns, they can be beneficial for anyone looking to keep their skin firm and supple, preventing early signs of aging.

Can you put moisturizer over copper peptides? +

Yes - in fact, you should. It’s just important to make sure you’re following the proper order. Copper peptides go on the face first, and need to be given 30-60 seconds to absorb. THEN you can layer on your moisturizer or other skincare ingredients.

How long does it take to see results from copper peptides for face? +

You might notice early signs of improvement within the first few weeks. Most users start to see more noticeable changes around 4-8 weeks, though. Give it a full 12 weeks before making any decisions about whether or not to continue use. Like copper peptides for hair, patience and consistency are key!

Can I use copper peptides daily? +

You need to use them daily for the best results. Consistency is key. A lot of our customers actually use copper peptides on the face twice daily.

What should you not mix copper peptides with? +

There aren’t any ingredients known for causing adverse reactions with copper peptides for skin. You should apply our Face Tonic first, though, and let it absorb for up to a minute. Then you can follow up with other products like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C serum, or moisturizer.

Can I use copper peptides for face if I have sensitive skin? +

Yes. our formula is free of common irritants like parabens, sulfates, silicones, or artificial fragrances. However, as with any new skincare product, we recommend patch testing on a small area first. You may want to ask a dermatologist before using our copper peptides for skin if you have a known skin condition, too.

Are copper peptides better than retinol? +

Not necessarily better - different. Retinol targets surface renewal, while copper peptides are often used for firmness and conditioning. There’s room for each in your routine.

When do I actually use copper peptides for skin? +

We recommend applying twice a day - first thing in the morning and then again before bed. Or, you can simplify the routine with just nightly application. What matters most is you’re using copper peptides on your skin daily.
