Have YOU Been Searching For A CLEAN Copper .5% Peptide Serum? You've Found it! ---> This is a stronger version. Please keep this in mind after using the .2% version for a period of time. 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.

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 serum has really reduced my redness! It's especially helpful any time my skin is freaking out - it seems to reduce the time it takes for breakouts to heal. The hydration and consistency are exactly what I needed as an extra step between my hydrating toner and moisturizer. Also, a friend I was catching up with actually commented on my "glow" - I thought that was only something that happened to people with naturally good skin.
Hi Katie,
What a wonderful review, thank you! We love hearing how you’re using the Calming Moisture Serum between toner and moisturizer, and even more that it’s helping calm redness and speed up healing when your skin acts up.
That “glow” compliment from your friend is the best feedback of all. Proof your skin is really happy.
Warmly,
The Garden of Wisdom Team ❤️
This cream is really helping to balance my combination dehydrated skin. I'm using the lighter version. It doesn't seem to be clogging my pores or causing any breakouts, which I can't say for many other moisturizers. It's a strong contender for a permanent spot in my routine.
Thank You, Katie 😊❣️
So glad the Chamomile Cream is keeping your skin balanced and breakout-free, that’s the best outcome we could hope for!
Your GoW Team
I have very red and easily irritated skin. This product annihilates the redness overnight. I had been really struggling to find something that helped and this was the only thing that did. It didn't irritate my skin in any way when applied. If there's a moisturizer to match in the future, I volunteer as the guinea pig lol. Thank you for a wonderful product.
Hi Jen!

I have very sensitive acne prone skin so I dont often try new things, especially masks that can be harsh. This left my skin soft and hydrated, it tingled slightly but left no redness.
