Patient summary

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide found naturally in skin. Used in some cosmetic products with modest evidence. Anti-aging injection clinics extrapolate well past what data support.

Clinician summary

Topical formulations have published controlled cosmetic studies (wrinkle depth, photodamage). Injected GHK-Cu marketed for systemic anti-aging has no rigorous human evidence.
