“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.

“My skin feels more bouncy”
I see a significant difference in my skin firmness - it's improved. My skin feels more bouncy too. I love it! 10/10 recommend.
“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.

My skin feels more hydrated and looks firmer and smoother. Highly 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 😎👍
Love this product!

I absolutely love this face tonic! It has been such an easy step to add to my routine and it goes great under makeup. I haven’t used it long but I am already noticing a difference in my skin. I also appreciate how a little bit goes a long way with this 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.

Didn't really do anything for me, used for one month every day.
Really nice product. It soaks into the skin and delivers a nice glow.

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!
Really impressed with this tonic, it feels really clean and works great!
Thanks, Justin! We're glad to hear you're impressed
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
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!
This product is great! 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.
Amazing product!
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!
Easy to use and seeing some results so far!
AWESOME. Only a week in. Skin looks younger and confidence is oozing. New level of aura unlocked
I’ve been using the PLU GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Face Tonic for a few weeks, and the improvement in my skin is noticeable. 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. Highly recommend if you’re looking to boost firmness and overall skin health.
Amazing product! Skin looks great
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!
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.
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.

Cleanse. Apply 2-3 drops to face and neck. Let it absorb for 60 seconds, then layer the rest of your routine.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
