GHK-Cu Capsule Cream · GHK-CU MICROBEAD CREAM
The GHK-Cu cream that firms and smooths — in one nightly step.

Key Benefits
-
GHK-Cu, everywhere it counts
Jojoba microbeads spread the peptide evenly across every contour. Not just the flat parts. The signal reaches all of it.
-
Improves the look of firmness and texture over time
GHK-Cu is a well-studied cosmetic peptide, and results build with continued use, not from scrubbing.
-
Visible results, week by week
Smoother texture, more even tone, smaller-looking pores. Usually noticeable within 3–4 weeks. Compounds month on month.
-
Nothing it doesn't need
No microplastics, synthetic fragrance, or silicones. Jojoba beads are biodegradable. Every ingredient earns its place.
How to Use
Always start on freshly cleansed skin — a gentle cleanser is all you need first.
One step. Every evening.
- Apply a generous amount to clean skin.
- Massage gently for 30–60 seconds — the microbeads spread peptide evenly.
- Let it absorb, then layer other products on top.
- Use nightly. Results compound — stick with it past week one.

Pairing & SPF
Go easy on other actives. Avoid layering GHK-Cu in the same routine as retinol, retinaldehyde, vitamin C, or strong exfoliating acids — they can irritate skin, and vitamin C can deactivate the copper peptide. Use those on alternate nights so each active can do its job.
Always wear SPF. Daily sun protection is what lets a smoother, firmer look actually show. Finish every morning with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ to protect your results.
How It Works
Most creams spread across the flat parts of your face and miss the contours where lines are most visible. The jojoba microbeads in this formula fix that — they carry GHK-Cu evenly across the eye area, jawline, and every crease, so the whole face benefits, not just the easy parts. They're a delivery system, not a scrub.
GHK-Cu is a well-studied cosmetic copper peptide. Used daily at a high concentration, it helps improve the look of firmness, texture, and tone over time.
Niacinamide supports the look of a smooth, even complexion alongside the peptide. Adenosine is a well-known cosmetic conditioning ingredient. Together they support the same goal: firmer-looking, smoother, more even-looking skin — built through consistent use and compounding month on month.
🔬 GHK-Cu is a well-studied cosmetic ingredient, with 50+ years of independent, peer-reviewed research behind it.

The Missing Peptide
Losing firmness? Your skin stopped
making the peptide behind it.
GHK-Cu is the copper peptide your skin relies on to look firm and smooth. It peaks in your twenties, then drops year after year — and as it fades, skin loses firmness, fine lines settle in, and texture turns rough. Most creams just sit on top and mask it. Koppā puts GHK-Cu back where your skin lost it.
Don't cover the signs of aging — replace what's driving them. That's the copper peptide your skin loves.
GHK-Cu is a well-studied cosmetic ingredient — with 50+ years of independent research behind it, spanning the look of firmness, texture, and barrier support.
How it works
Liposomal GHK-Cu, built to absorb smoothly.
A high concentration only matters if the peptide stays stable and absorbs well. Here's the three-step journey ours takes.
Step 1
Sealed to survive
Each GHK-Cu molecule is wrapped in a lipid shell — so it stays stable instead of evaporating on the surface like most peptide serums.
Step 2
Absorbs smoothly
That shell helps it absorb evenly instead of sitting and drying on the surface like many peptide serums.
Step 3
Improves the look over time
GHK-Cu is a well-studied cosmetic peptide that helps improve the look of firmness, texture, and tone with continued use.
Why GHK-Cu?
New to copper peptides? Start here.
As skin ages, it makes fewer of the signals that keep it firm and smooth — so it repairs more slowly and lines settle in. GHK-Cu is a copper peptide your body already makes on its own. Applied to the skin at a real concentration, it helps prompt the look of firmer, healthier skin over time.
Where most peptide serums stop, ours starts.
A typical "peptide serum" leans on botanical filler and a low dose of copper peptide. Here are the same formula decisions, side by side.
Comparison reflects typical formulations in the prestige peptide-serum category. Ingredient positions are based on published INCI lists.
How it compares
Retinol, vitamin C, or copper peptide?
General guidance — actual results depend on formulation and concentration. GHK-Cu is gentle enough to pair with the others on alternate days; keep pure vitamin C in the morning and copper peptide at night.
Is it right for you?
Who it's for — and who it isn't.
Best for
- Fine lines and early wrinkles

- You want instant, temporary tightening
- You're specifically treating active acne
- You expect overnight results — this builds over weeks

My skin texture changed in the first week. I could not explain it until I understood what GHK-Cu actually does — it is triggering your skin to rebuild from the inside. One month in and my pores look smaller and my skin has this evenness I have not had since my late 20s.
I simplified my entire routine down to this cream and the GHK-Cu 2% Serum. Two products. Better results than anything else I have tried. The improvement in my skin texture in 30 days is impossible to ignore.
I have sensitive skin and was nervous about adding anything new to my routine. No redness, no irritation at all — just visibly smoother skin and noticeably fewer fine lines after a month. This is staying.
Three months in. The texture of my forehead has completely changed — smoother, more even, and the fine lines I thought were permanent are visibly softer. I did not expect this from a cream.
Month 3. The lines above my lip that I have had since my 30s are visibly softer. I did not expect that from a cream.

Before you ask
Frequently asked results.
When will I see results?
Hydration and surface texture often improve in 2–4 weeks; the look of firmness and softer lines builds over the following weeks with daily use.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes — just alternate nights rather than layering both in the same session, so neither adds unnecessary irritation.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes, with timing: keep pure vitamin C in the morning and GHK-Cu at night — vitamin C can deactivate copper peptides if layered together.
Can I use it twice daily?
Yes. GHK-Cu is gentle and designed for morning and night. In the morning, finish with SPF.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Generally yes — it's not an acid, retinoid, or exfoliant, and it supports the barrier rather than disrupting it. Patch test first if you're highly reactive.
Can I use it around the eyes?
Yes — apply gently to the orbital bone area, avoiding direct contact with the eyes themselves.
