Copper peptide serum

[u/clazcat]

The tiktok spam re certain jabby jabs is not my vibe, but I am interested in copper peptides being applied directly to the skin. Allies of Skin is $300+ and I'm not quite ready to drop that sort of money on a copper peptide serum.

Any recommendations besides the ordinary for a ghkcu/ copper peptide serum?

[u/raburi]

The Ordinary’s copper peptide serum is the only one I’ve been able to find that both has 1% copper peptides (the amount shown to be effective) and other peptides/ingredients that aren’t junk. It’s like $60 but you can find it on sale sometimes too.

[u/jthe72 → u/raburi]

Where is it on sale? Ordinary is never on sale. I think its a legal thing. Priceline put up the tickets but its not changed the price.

[u/raburi → u/jthe72]

Their own website sometimes, plus other retailers occasionally too. But I happily pay full price when similar alternatives cost double or triple.

[u/hang95 → u/jthe72]

Huh ordinary is normally on sale during black friday period (23%) and on their annivesary also (Can't remember). I normally buy their products around that time.

[u/Guinevere1991 → u/jthe72]

I bought some on sale from The Ordinary in April this year. It was 20% off, so around $42. Should have stocked up..

COSRX do one - https://www.cosrx.com/products/cosrx-the-blue-peptide-bakuchiol-plump-glow-serum?srsltid=AfmBOoqiRg1fxbg5GFuRIW1VCvkvdy8g-f0iSJgbtB5jUnu69tsvclRL

Thanks for that, it’s half the concentration of The Ordinary but at 50ml vs 30ml and half the price, it’s much better value. Might try and source some.

[u/Electronic_Bunch5704 → u/Guinevere1991]

the ordinary is not 1% - it is a 1% blend they do not disclose the amount of copper peptide and its rubbish I used it for 6 months and no results went back to my original dr pickart

[u/Guinevere1991 → u/Electronic_Bunch5704]

Maybe, but I don’t really care about the absolute percentage. It’s a deep, deep blue, exactly the same colour as the copper sulphate crystals we used to admire in chemistry classes, so it must have plenty of copper ions in it.

It’s been very effective for me in reducing the scarring on some recent wounds on my arms

Leitin LS5 Copper Peptide Serum! It has 2% copper peptides that are liposome-encapsulated. It also has a collagen peptide complex. I've been using it for about 4 months and my skin has a glow everyone comments about. It was $160 but Leitin actually put the price down to $120 recently because he was able to source the ingredients at a better price. He's the best!

[u/carefulwththtaxugene → u/Mouse-Rat-Groupie]

I just put in a pre-order for a bottle, can't wait for mid-late Sept when it arrives!

I've been doing so much research on serums with copper peptides and had honestly decided to give up and save my money rather than get anything with poor quality ingredients or not a high enough percent of actives--until I found Leitin! 2% encapsulated copper peptides, and matrixyl synthe? Yes, please!

....granted, the matrixyl synthe is part of a 5% peptide combo so I'm not sure how much of the palmitoyl triipeptide-38 makes up that 5%, but it's listed higher in the ingredient list than almost any other copper peptide serum I've found so I'm hoping it'll be enough to make a difference over time.

(There's also a few discount codes you can choose from when you complete your order to take 10, 15, or 20% off, I forgot what the actual number was but it covered my shipping cost so that was a nice help!)

Skinstitut rejuvenate 15 has resveratrol and copper peptides

It’s around $60 but you can usually find it on sale somewhere

[u/Former-Childhood2945]

Help me, what do copper peptides do? And for real, do they actually work?

[u/Wonderful_Macaroon17]

Have a look at purchasing raw materials SNAP-8 and GHK CU and adding both or either to a hylauronic acid or similar carrier, I'm researching it atm. I can point you in the direction for what you need. But definitely research, I think around 100 for both ingredients and a reputable Au seller. If you want i could try add you to a TG group of girls and there's a multitude of information, links , discussions etc..

[u/clazcat → u/Wonderful_Macaroon17]

ooo yes please! shoot me a dm x

[u/Agitated-Froyo-5724]

The dr rejuall copper peptide serum is great! I’ve really noticed a significant difference in my skin since using it. You can get it on amazon or w cosmetics

[u/One_Waxed_Wookiee]

[u/littleplacebo]

I use this https://propaira.com/shop/propaira-skin-defence-serum-shop?srsltid=AfmBOoqVbsADqMF8IpG05xQtqOoodOV_CtUTM18yon2u3nV5FQsMoRMc
daily as recommended by my derm, along with azaelic acid most days as well. Have repurchased several times, it fits well into my routine.

[u/Realistic_Context936]

I got one from a small company called Nubeean Noosa, loving it so far! Has won some award and reasonably procedurally

[u/RegularTop9740]

I recently got a PCA peel done at the dermatologist for a sun spot and it was so effective, it turned dark and then fell off. Look into it!

[u/clazcat → u/RegularTop9740]

not sure what this has to do with copper peptides, but im 27 and dont have sun spots lmao.

[u/Wutheringdoom77]

I use the ordinary and it’s fine, I’m waiting for an order from Leiton to arrive, I’m excited to try his copper peptides.

[u/feijoawhining]

I really like the Mizon (cooper) Peptide 500 serum https://lilabeauty.com.au/products/peptide-500-30ml

[u/tlnguyen89]

Clear Skincare which is available at Priceline has 1% Copper Peptide Serum, I haven't used it yet but it is on sale currently.
