Copper peptides are naturally occurring amino acids that can help produce collagen and elastin, two types of connective tissues responsible for smooth and firm skin. They are known to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots, and improve skin firmness and elasticity. Copper peptides may also promote hair growth and reduce hair loss.

Suitable for all skin types
Some side effects associated with peptide-containing products include redness, hives, itchiness, and burns. Copper toxicity is another possible risk, but this is unlikely if you’re using over-the-counter skin care products.
Avoid using copper peptides at the same time as retinol, vitamin C, and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs).
