Compounded GHK-Cu foam delivers a naturally occurring copper-tripeptide directly to skin and scalp — for the look of healthier aging.
GHK-Cu is the copper-binding tripeptide your body uses to coordinate skin remodeling and follicle activity — a signal that runs quietly in the background of healthy young tissue and falls off sharply after midlife. Topical application puts it back into contact with the cells that respond to it: dermal fibroblasts, follicle stem cells, and the antioxidant enzymes that depend on copper as a co-factor.
Dermatology and hair-loss research on GHK-Cu now spans more than fifty years, going back to Dr. Loren Pickart’s foundational work in the 1970s and 1980s. As a topical cosmetic peptide, it pairs naturally with the rest of our cellular-renewal stack — part of our broader approach to longevity.

What patients say
Real outcomes from people on this protocol, all under doctor supervision.
“I started using it on my scalp at the crown. Around week 3 the shedding spiked and I almost stopped — care team told me that was expected. By week 10 the part line is genuinely narrower in photos.”

“My derm uses it after my microneedling sessions and I wanted my own at home. Two pumps to the cheeks and forehead at night, no irritation, and the next-morning bounce is real.”
Kavya M.
Lansing, MI
“Skeptical of every peptide on the internet. The doctor intake actually screened me for copper IUD and a skin issue I forgot to mention. The product is fine — the medical wrap-around is what sold me.”
Jordan F.
Columbia, SC
“Late 50s, postmenopausal, the skin on my jawline was the first thing I noticed losing tone. Three months in, makeup sits differently and that is not a placebo for me.”
Carolyn B.
Anchorage, AK
“I do minoxidil in the morning and the GHK-Cu foam at night. Density is the best it has been since my mid-30s. The foam dries fast — that mattered for nightly use.”
Theo W.
Knoxville, TN
“After a fractional laser I babied my face for a week, then added the foam back in. Healing felt cleaner the second time around. Care team was responsive when I had questions.”
