Have YOU Been Searching For A CLEAN Copper Peptide Serum? You've Found it! Copper Peptides, especially the tripeptide known as GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper), are one of skincare’s most remarkable regenerative ingredients. Naturally occurring in the body, this bioavailable peptide binds with copper to support a wide range of skin-repairing functions. As we age, our natural levels of GHK-Cu decline, which can contribute to slower healing, collagen breakdown, and visible signs of aging. In topical skincare, GHK-Cu is prized for stimulating collagen and elastin production, enhancing wound healing, reducing inflammation, and improving skin firmness and texture. It’s gentle enough for sensitive skin yet powerful enough to restore vibrancy and resilience in aging, damaged, or stressed skin. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, loss of elasticity, or post-acne repair, copper peptides offer a science-backed approach to restoring skin health from the inside out.

Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production. Copper peptides help trigger fibroblasts to produce more collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (like hyaluronic acid). Over time, this leads to firmer, plumper, and more resilient skin. Promote Wound Healing and Skin Repair a. Copper is essential for angiogenesis (formation of new blood vessels), which supports tissue regeneration b. Helps speed up the healing of acne marks, minor wounds, and micro-damage exfoliation or retinoids. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects a. Copper peptides neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress. b. Calms inflammation, which is linked to redness, irritation, and skin aging. Improve Skin Texture and Tone a. Due to its regenerative and anti-inflammatory action, skin can look smoother, more refined, and even-toned with continued use. b. They can help reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines. Supports Hair Growth(Topically on Scalp) Copper peptides stimulate the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles, making them popular in hair serums as well. Compatible with Sensitive Skin When formulated correctly, copper peptides are gentle and non-irritating, even for skin that reacts to retinoids or acids. How Copper Peptides Work at the Cellular Level GHK-Cu binds to cell receptors and upregulates genes responsible for tissue repair and collagen remodeling. They also inhibit destructive enzymes (like MMPs) that break down collagen and elastin with age. Do Copper Peptides Cause Purging or Side Effects? Unlike retinoids, copper peptides do not typically cause purging. Experience Skin Renewal at a Cellular Level Our Copper Peptide Serum is a powerhouse blend of biomimetic GHK-Cu, skin barrier boosters, and calming botanicals. Designed for all skin types, especially sensitive, stressed, or aging skin, this multitasking formula visibly firms, hydrates, and restores skin resilience.

Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

This was my first time trying the Indigo Glow .2% Peptide Renewal Serum. My dry ,sensitive skin loves it! That’s a big win for me as many products with potent active ingredients will wreak havoc on me. I have been following this with the Emu Oil face cream and everything looks fantastic!
May I also commend the lovely staff for their excellent customer care? I received a phone call to clarify something about my order and was so impressed with the attention to detail! Don’t hesitate to reach out to them, they are so helpful.

Clean Copper Serum
This is the first copper serum I have ever tried, and loving it already. Just purchased my 2nd bottle. I use this serum along with their Rose Peptide and Tepezcohuite serums. My skin feels “velvety”, looks clearer and smoother. This will be another keeper for me, and I can’t wait to see all of the anti-aging benefits copper peptides are known for!
Kerrie! (she is a lovely local customer)
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're delighted (yep!) that our Copper Peptide Serum is the first you've tried and even more thrilled that it's already earned a place in your routine. Pairing it with the Rose Peptide and Tepezcohuite Serums sounds like a beautiful combination, and we’re so glad your skin is feeling velvety, clear, and smooth. We can’t wait for you to experience the long-term benefits copper peptides are known for.
Thank you for your support, you're the best!
P.S. it's always nice to chat with you.

Love Copper Serum
The new copper serum is great, It smooths out the complexion and evens the tone of the skin. The acne scar which I had is lightening up. It is watery in nature so maybe a dropper might be a better option for application. I highly recommend the copper serum!
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that the Indigo Glow Copper Peptide Serum is helping smooth and even your complexion - and especially that you're seeing improvement with your acne scar. That’s exactly the kind of gentle but powerful support we hoped this formula would offer!
We also appreciate your note about the texture and dropper suggestion - we're always listening and will definitely take that into consideration for future packaging updates.
Thank you again for recommending this product and for being part of the GoW family!

1 week of use and loving!!
Absolutely loving (no surprise) this serum - I am targeting all the things as I'm acne prone and close to 40 years old so really putting this one to the test! Further use will show the true results but my skin has been really happy with this new addition. Thank you GoW for always giving great clean options at an incredible value!!!
Oh, Rachel
The 'no surprise' comment seriously brought a tear to my eye. Just one eye, yes, but only because I can get very weepy 😂 Working on the future of your skin is really an inspiration!
Thank us? No, Thank YOU for being such a gracious customer!
Markey and her fabulous crew of workmates
I have never been able to use vitamin C of any kind on my face. Not sure what the difference is here but this one works great and doesn't bother me at all! I think it's helping even out my skin tone but I've only been using it maybe a month so far and in my experience you have to give things at least three months to really see results. But so far so good!

Seeing Results!
I got the 10 ml. size to sample the product and see if it does what it claims. My skin seems to like products with niacinamide in them so I thought it couldn't hurt to try TXA+Z. I'm happy to say that I'm beginning to see results regarding fading of stubborn after-blemish hyperpigmentation on my face and, while I use other products for this purpose as well, I think the TXA+Z is doing most of the heavy lifting at this point. I like the feel of this serum and have been using it in the morning. I'm back to get the 1 oz. size before I run out.
This product is amazing. My skin looks and feels better after only a couple of weeks. I am pleased. Thank you Mother Earth for the gifts Garden of Wisdom uses from you. Thank you Garden of Wisdom for using these gifts for our benefit. Blessings to all of you

I need this!
As I’ve hit my 60s, the bags under my eyes are really getting bad. So so happy to have this incredible serum to help. I’m definitely noticing a difference.
Cellular Eye Complex - Age Defying Hydration for Delicate Skin
This is another favorite! Didn't think product was doing much until my husband mentioned that my face looked smoother and more even. He also has started using it now and has gotten many compliments. Doesn't burn or sting like ascorbic acid. I use 3-4 times a week at night only and love that it contains squalane because it gives me a little extra moisture.
Teresa and (hubby)
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review for our C³ Lipid Elixir! We are delighted to hear that you and your husband have both noticed positive results from using our product. We pride ourselves on using gentle and effective ingredients, such as squalane, to provide skin conditioning and improve skin texture. Thank you for choosing our product and we hope it continues to exceed your expectations.
Have a wonderful day!
Upon doing the cottonball test this item did not clean my face properly for me . I only use jojoba oil and concealer in a few places. I do believe it has quality ingredients, I have mixed it w the Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser as to make that cleanser more gentle for MY high maintenance skin.
Hi Julie
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Soothing Cleansing Gel. We apologize that the product did not meet your expectations and we understand that finding the right cleanser for your skin can be a challenge.
We appreciate your feedback and would like to suggest trying our Skin Friendly Cucumber cleanser, which you have already mixed with our Soothing Cleansing Gel. It may be a better fit for your high maintenance skin. We also recommend using a gentle exfoliator occasionally to
help ensure a deep clean.
We strive to provide quality products and we hope to have the opportunity to better serve you in the future.
Again, thank you for your honesty as well,
Markey
Even before I moved to natural products, I had difficulty with deodorants. I sweat a good bit. I would rotate between a couple of deodorants as that seemed to help ensure they kept working. I do like the natural deodorant sticks with baking soda. I also like the way it feels as a barrier on my skin. However, before or by the end of the work day, they stopped doing their job. So, I decided to use the unscented version of this GOW along with the stick deodorant. Put this on first, let it dry and then apply the stick. This has made such a difference!!!! It really keeps odors in check! I’m sensitive to scents, but citrus is usually not a problem, so I’ll try that next time.n
Hi Valerie
It's wonderful to hear that our Deodorant Spray has been working well for you! It's great to know that you've found a solution to help with your sweating and that our product has made a difference for you. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and for your support.
We hope you continue to enjoy our product!
Our Best,
Markey and the
Customer Service Team, GOW
Still to early in seeing if it is working . After one month and one bottle I can't see any visible signs of change in skin tone .
Hi Elton
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand that it may take some time for our products to show visible results, especially when dealing with stubborn pigmentation. We recommend continuing use for a few more weeks to allow the ingredients to fully penetrate the skin and work their magic. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're always here to help!
Our Best, Markey
Gives my skin radiance while leaving a satin finish.
This rice bran oil is light and silky. No odor. It absorbs and leaves only a satin finish behind. I don’t need foundation over it! I have oily yet dehydrated skin, and rice bran oil is ideal for my skin type. It decreases oil production while leaving radiant, moisturized skin. Perfect for humid summer use, and use over moistened hyaluronic acid serum. Have used this for 6 years and my family has noticed measurable changes in my skin’s clarity and texture. (The BHA tonic and customized hyaluronic acid serum also have played a role.)
Being reactive to virtually everything, I am grateful for Garden of Wisdom’s pure products.
Having MCAS, this is my only source of “safe” skincare. Markey ensures no cross contamination in any product, and no reactants with her custom-made products. GOW carefully formulates customized products for those in need, like me! MCAS/MCS friendly!
Exceptional quality. Exemplary customer service. A happy customer since 2008.
