Research summary

GHK-Cu(Copper tripeptide-1, glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper)

Regulatory status
Not an approved drug. Used in topical cosmetics; FDA lists injectable GHK-Cu among substances that may present significant safety risks in compounding.
Strongest evidence
Cell and gene-expression studies; small topical cosmetic studies in people
Overview

GHK is a naturally occurring tripeptide that binds copper. The copper complex, GHK-Cu, is a common cosmetic ingredient and a research subject in skin and tissue biology.

What researchers study it for
  • Skin remodeling and wrinkle appearance (topical)
  • Wound healing models
  • Gene-expression effects in cell data
Mechanism

In laboratory data GHK-Cu influences collagen synthesis, antioxidant responses and the expression of many genes; how much of this occurs in living tissue is uncertain.

Evidence (3)
  1. Review

    Gene-data review (Int J Mol Sci, 2018)

    Summarizes regenerative and protective actions reported for GHK-Cu, much of it from cell and gene-expression datasets.[1]

  2. Review

    Topical anti-wrinkle review (Bioimpacts, 2025)

    Reviews topical GHK as an anti-wrinkle peptide, including its advantages and formulation problems.[2]

  3. Regulatory

    FDA compounding risk list

    Injectable GHK-Cu is listed; FDA notes limited human data for injectable routes.[3]

Limitations of the evidence
  • Human evidence is topical and cosmetic; injectable human data are scarce.
  • Products on this site are sold for laboratory research only. They are not the medicines used in the trials above, and those results do not apply to research material.
