What is GHK-Cu Cream?
GHK-Cu is a copper peptide (copper tripeptide-1) that skin makes less of with age. This cream carries it in an anhydrous base and is prescribed to support collagen and elastin production and the skin's own renewal, which is what firms texture and softens the look of fine lines.

FAQ
What does GHK-Cu Cream help with?
It is designed to support smoother, firmer-looking skin while helping improve the appearance of fine lines, texture, and visible signs of aging.
Who is GHK-Cu Cream best for?
Those looking to address fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven texture, or other visible signs of aging.
How do I use GHK-Cu Cream?
Apply as directed to clean, dry skin. Your Elara formulation may come with its own instructions, so follow the frequency your pharmacy and provider give you rather than a generic schedule.
How long does it take to see results?
Skin changes take time. Published topical studies have evaluated GHK-Cu over several weeks, with many assessing results over approximately 8 to 12 weeks.
Can I use it with my other skincare products?
Your routine may depend on the other active ingredients you use. Follow your prescribed directions and ask your provider before combining it with strong or potentially irritating actives.
Is GHK-Cu the reason the cream is purple?
Yes: copper peptides can give GHK-Cu formulations their distinctive blue-to-purple appearance.
Is GHK-Cu suitable for sensitive skin?
Topical copper tripeptide-1 is generally considered safe at established cosmetic-use concentrations, but any topical product can cause irritation or sensitivity in some people. Patch test on your inner arm before the first full application, and message your care team about anything that does not settle.
