What Is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide found in the body. For this reason, it is a well-known skincare ingredient that may support the look of smoother, firmer, healthier-appearing skin.

At Alpha Hormones®, it is prescribed as a compounded topical and individualized to your skin, goals, and current routine.
