1. Introduction of Ghk Cu
Definition and ingredients
Blue copper peptide is a small molecule peptide. It is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids, glycine, histidine, and lysine, and is chelated with a copper ion. Its chemical name is glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper (GHK-Cu). It appears blue in aqueous solution because the copper ions (Cu²⁺) in it are color-producing.
Discovery Process
It was first discovered in human serum. In 1973, Dr. Loren Pickart successfully isolated blue copper peptide from human plasma. After years of research, people gradually realized its important role in human physiological processes and skin care.
Principle of Action
Blue copper peptide mainly activates the signal pathway in the cell by binding to the receptors on the cell surface. The signal pathway in the cell is like a "information highway". Once activated, it can promote physiological processes such as cell metabolism, proliferation and differentiation. The copper ion plays a key role. It can regulate the activity of a variety of enzymes, which participate in many chemical reactions in the cell, thereby affecting the function of the cell.
2. Efficacy of Ghk Cu
Anti-wrinkle and firming
Blue copper peptide can stimulate the synthesis of collagen and elastin in the skin. Collagen is like a "spring" for the skin, providing support, while elastin is like a "rubber band" to make the skin elastic. As we age, the synthesis of these two proteins decreases, and the skin will wrinkle and sag. Blue copper peptide can increase the production of these two proteins, improve the elasticity and firmness of the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and make the skin firmer and fuller. For example, after using skin care products containing blue copper peptide for a period of time, the crow's feet around the eyes and the Sichuan-shaped lines between the eyebrows can be improved to a certain extent.
Skin repair
It has a strong ability to repair the skin. In the case of wounds or damage to the skin, blue copper peptide can accelerate wound healing. For acne skin, acne marks and acne pits are often left after acne subsides. Blue copper peptide can help repair the damaged skin barrier and promote the skin to return to a healthy state. For sensitive skin, it can enhance the production of mucus between skin cells, reduce skin irritation, repair the skin's barrier function, and relieve skin sensitivity symptoms.
Antioxidant aspect
Blue copper peptide can assist the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) to play its role. Free radicals are like "little devils" in the skin, which will attack skin cells and cause problems such as skin aging. Blue copper peptide has a strong anti-free radical function, which can remove free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative damage, thereby delaying skin aging and keeping the skin young and healthy.
In terms of increasing skin thickness
It can stimulate the formation of glucosamine. Glucosamine can increase the thickness of the skin, make the skin firmer, and reduce the phenomenon of loose skin. It is like thickening the walls of a house to make the "structure" of the skin more stable.
In terms of promoting angiogenesis
Blue copper peptide can promote angiogenesis. Blood vessels provide oxygen and nutrients to the skin. Angiogenesis means that the oxygen supply to the skin increases and the nutrient supply is more sufficient. This can make the skin healthier and more lustrous, just like providing more water and nutrients to the flowers in the garden, making the skin glow with vitality.
Hair care aspect
Blue copper peptide also has a positive effect on hair problems. It can expand hair follicles, provide a better environment for hair growth, and accelerate hair growth. At the same time, it can inhibit hair loss and stimulate the production of melanin in hair, which has certain potential help in improving the problem of gray hair.
