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 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!

There's something about coconut vinegar that just hits right...
I LOVE to close my eyes and spray all of the Coco tonics on my face after washing it. It smells amazing and makes it so less is more as you move forward with serums and creams. It's like self-care in a spritzer.
Gianna, you should be a writer; your description is absolutely spot on!😊
You painted such a beautiful visual, and we’re so grateful for this fantastic review.
Thank you!
Markey 😊❣️
It is the most DIVINE of all the serums I've tried at GoW, not only due to it's efficacy, but the scent takes you straight into a rose garden on a mild spring day. Lovely feeling on my skin and to my senses.
Gianna,
What a beautiful way to describe the Rose Stem Cell & Peptide Serum, “a scent to rival all scent-sations”! We’re thrilled you’re loving the Rose Stem Cell Serum, both for its feel and how it transports you.
Thank you for this lovely review!
Markey
This serum is amazing!! I cannot stress enough how I've truly tried so many different products on my face, and GoW is the only company that has me returning every time wondering why I tried anything else. This eye serum is exceptional. It is not tacky - dried clear - and totally refreshes my eyes in a way no other serum has even come close to. I've used it for a few years now and cannot go without it.
Gianna,
This is my favorite eye product (Beautiful Eyes Serum w/ReguAge). When I apply this to my upper orbital bone (eye) and gently press and push up while holding for several seconds, majikal things happen. This is assuming
you have developed hooded upper eyelids. If not, preemptive strike.
Your GoW Team wishes you the very best in your incredible skincare journey
I’ve been using this oil for years. As someone in their 40s and living in the desert, this oil gives a gentle hydration, supporting perimenopause skin, without being greasy or heavy on my sensitive skin type.
Hi Sharon
Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for sharing the results you experienced over time.
It’s the kind of feedback that genuinely helps others feel confident in trying this oil blend!
Markey and the GoW Crew
Hi Ashley
Hopefully, this means you liked the oil? I love the richness and complexity of this oil’s composition.
This being said, thank you!

Skin is like smooth glass... non-invasive... simple and easy.... affordable... great stuff
What can I say? Garden of Wisdom's products are always lovely. This is one of the light, exfoliating products that gives an immediate glow with a finish like smooth glass, without any over-drying (or even any drying) effects).
Even my dentist and hygienist complimented my skin a few weeks ago.
I've been a GoW customer since my late 20s and I'm now 57. My skincare needs have, obviously, changed. However, as my skincare (and haircare) needs change, GoW always gives me what i need, based on what my skin needs.
I cannot do without Markey and Garden of Wisdom. No one will give you the personalized and individualized treatment services, clean products, clean raw ingredients, and custom formulations... Especially at a very affordable cost and fast shipping.

Love the progeline peptide repair serum
I love this serum! I’ve tried many things over the years but this takes the cake!
I am falling in love with the texture of GOW products. This is lightweight and GENTLE formula for mild acne and redness, I am still in the works of finalizing my routine but this is HERE to STAY! Honestly it's impossible to even find a similar product with this good of formulation without the excess ingrinets that can be sneaky and cause problems.

Great Overnight Jumpstart To Hairgrowth
I enjoy using this as an overnight scalp jumpstart to hair growth. It smells lovely and even though a little more heavy than other follicle stimulators, as it is intended to be rinsed out after overnight, it contains high end ingredients of competitor brands plus even better ingredients not found on the market. My scalp feels rejuvinated each use :)
