Copper is the body's protective, anti-aging and skin repairing metal.
Copper is a mineral found in the body, and is needed to repair the skin's outer layer, neutralize free radicals to help prevent future skin damage, produce collagen and elastin fibers deep in the skin for firmness and to repair wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks, and stimulate the skin's ability to retain moisture.
Copper-peptides help activate your natural repair process that rebuilds and renews skin, nails and hair. This helps reduce lines and wrinkles without irritation and produces skin, nails and hair that are more youthful.
This is our best-selling Copper product! This product helps to repair and rejuvenate the skin to visibly tighten, smooth, and firm the skin - and it is oil-free for all skin types!Click here to buy.
The photo on the left is an ultrasound scan of the skin of a women aged 59 before treatment with a cream containing Copper Peptide. On the right is the same skin after one month of treatment with the Copper Peptide. The white-yellow colored areas are the ultrasonic reflection from skin areas that are more dense because of closer cellular binding and increased amounts of collagen and elastin. The increased collagen and elastin is what repairs and rejuvenates your skin. Notice how the skin area has flattened and smoothed out. The damaged areas have been filled in with new collagen and elastin, repairing the skin! The surface of the skin is smoother and firmer.

In the skin, Copper Peptide helps to:
1. Stimulate Collagen Formation, diminishing fine lines and firming the skin.
2. Stimulate Elastin Formation, cutting down on sagging and fine lines.
3. Stimulate the formation of the extracellular cement between cells, thus improving skin strength, cutting down on fragility.
4. Stimulate the formation of GAGS (glycosaminoglycans). This helps to thicken the dermis resulting in a lessening of sagging and helps firm the skin.
5. Increase blood vessel formation and oxygenation within the skin.
6. Act as a potent antioxidant by stimulating the enzymatic function of Superoxide Dismutase.
Copper Peptide products by Skin Biology are the very latest in anti-aging technology. The Skin Biology Products were invented by Dr. Loren Pickart and are the most advanced versions of his highly successful Iamin-based copper-peptide skin repair technology. Dr. Pickart has invented more clinically-proven products for skin and hair regeneration than any other scientist or physician in history.
Skin Remodeling is the process that removes proteins and older cells from the skin thus removing scars, lesions, and wrinkles while smoothing the skin.
Increasing skin remodeling is the key producing a biologically younger skin.
Copper-peptides help activate your natural repair and remodeling process that rebuilds and renews skin, nails and hair. This helps reduce lines and wrinkles without irritation and produces skin, nails and hair that are more youthful.
During aging, skin proteins accumulate damage from many causes - sun damage, free radical injuries, natural aging, and so on. Recent research has established that copper-peptide complexes remove damaged proteins such as damaged collagen and elastin. The old damaged protein is removed and replaced with new collagen and elastin fibers. This removes scar tissue and restores skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles. The activation of such proteins may explain the potent scar reduction properties of these copper peptide creams.
Copper-peptides also increase the skin's regenerative processes - in addition to accelerating removal of damaged protein in the skin, they stimulate skin renewal without hydroxy acids or lasers, and help to produce a better skin renewal with milder exfoliation or various controlled skin damage methods. Copper peptides enhances the skin's natural regenerative responses by helping stimulate new capillary formation (angiogenesis), increasing the biosynthesis of collagen, elastin and the water-holding proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.
The Skin Biology Copper Peptides work well in conjunction with exfoliating acids such as alpha and beta hydroxy (Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid).
Clinical studies have found copper-peptides - such as used in skin renewal creams - to be more effective in restoring the skin's collagen than Vitamin C or retinoic acid (retin-A). Collagen and elastin are rebuilt, giving you a firmer, more elastic skin. The skin's internal water-holding proteins are increased (true moisturization), and the size of the skin's sexual pheromone secreting apocrine glands are increased.
Copper-peptides help activate your skin's system that removes damaged collagen and elastin from the skin. Furthermore, copper-peptide creams have been proven faster and better than Kinerase(TM) in improving skin texture, reducing blotchiness, and reducing fine wrinkles. Microbiological studies have found the creams to also inhibit the growth of dangerous,pathogenic skin bacteria.
When creams containing copper-peptides are applied to the skin, only very small amounts of the copper-peptides penetrate into the skin. Copper-peptides have passed numerous safety tests. Scientific studies of copper-peptides have found that the amount of copper taken into the body from such copper-peptide creams is insignificant and does not raise total blood copper levels. However, the microscopic amount of copper-peptide that does enter the skin's upper layer is sufficient to help stimulate skin regeneration.
Not all Copper Peptide products are alike!
Some Copper Peptide products do not contain a sufficient amount of Copper Peptide to be effective, while other Copper Peptide products do not contain an effective type of Copper Peptide complex at all!
Certain Copper Peptide products will degenerate quickly and thus become ineffective, or they will break down on the skin when combined with other skin carfe products and become ineffective!
The new breakdown-resistant copper peptides from Skin Biology give a longer lasting effect and much stronger skin regeneration.
Because of their exceptional stability, they can be used with hydroxy acids for skin renewal.
Not all copper-peptides and copper-complexes have these actions. A number of companies sell copper complexes purported to help skin but there is no credible scientific evidence (such as peer-reviewed publications in dermatology journals) that these complexes give effective skin regeneration.
These products have been tested and found to have only marginal activity at best. Most had no activity and some actually inhibited skin renewal. Some are made with yeast and bacteria peptides that may cause allergic reactions.
The copper peptide complex must contain a particular peptide, GHK-Cu [N(2)-(N-Glycyl-L-histidyl)-L-lysine] in order for the skin to absorb it correctly. In addition, there must be an adequate amount of the copper peptide complex in order to stimulate the skin regenerating and remodeling process. Many Copper Creams on the market today either do not contain this particular Copper Peptide Complex, or do not contain an adequate amount of the Copper Peptide complex to be effective.
The Copper Peptide Products we sell contain this particular coppr peptide in the most potent and effective amounts, and are invented by the actual dicoverer of positive benefits of Copper Peptide on the skin and hair!
The Copper Peptides developed at Skin Biology are based on soybean protein peptides. This type of peptides have remarkable safety properties and are used in fluids used for intravenous feeding of hospital patients. Such peptides are also used to make synthetic milk given to newborn infants when the babies have disease conditions that make them reject their mother's milk or milk from other animals such as cows and goats.
Why Skin Biology's Copper Peptides are the Most Effective and Safest.
Skin Biology's new and patented copper peptide technology is Dr. Pickart's most effective copper peptide system to date. These breakdown-resistant, improved copper peptides give a longer-acting and stronger skin regeneration and also can be used with hydroxy acids and Retin-A. The single peptides ( tripeptides or pentapeptides) used in many products are fragile, short-acting, and cannot be used with hydroxy acids.
Extensive safety testing has proven Skin Biology's copper peptides to be nonallergenic and non-irritating. Skin Biology's copper peptides have neither the allergenic sensitization problems of the bacterial produced copper peptides nor the biological inactivity ("colorless-copper") of copper complexes used by some irresponsible cosmetic companies.
The Copper Peptide products we sell are the Most-Potent, Most-Effective, Strongest Copper-Peptide Skin Regeneration Creams and Serums Available, from the Inventor of the Science!

Choose the Right Copper Peptide Product for Your Skin Type:
The best Protect & Restore cream for you depends on your skin type, stage of life, and personal life style. Because of such personal skin variations, P&R is formulated in various versions. The Copper Peptide Serum and the P&R Classic are the most basic copper-peptide versions. Copper Peptide Serum is oil-free and is the most basic formula without any added ingredients. Because of the very simple ingredients and oil-free formula, it is great for oily skin and sensitive skin. The P&R Classic is also great for sensitive skin because the formula is also free of added ingredients which could irritate sensitive skin. It is also the best formula to start out with if you are unsure of your skin's reaction to a new product.
P&R with Retinol and Oil of Lavender is the strongest anti-wrinke cream and contains a high retinol concentration and oil of lavender.
Younger persons under age 30 should start with P&R Classic or Copper Peptide Serum. Many people, especially over age 30, have found the strongest P&R with Retinol and Oil of Lavender to be the best at improving facial appearance and skin tone. Some find P&R with Retinol and Oil of Lavender will clear chronic acne in a few weeks. However, in some people, (about 7%), P&R with Retinol and Oil of Lavender may cause skin outbreaks which could be due to the retinol or an overall stimulation of the skin’s metabolism.
We generally recommend starting with P&R Classic or Copper Peptide Serum. If you later want more skin renewal and anti-wrinkle activity, try the P&R with Retinol, which is the strongest cream and also good for reducing scars and stretch marks (although for stretch marks and scars, we recommend the TriReduction creams).
The addition of Retinol to the Copper Peptide products is a further boost to anti-aging. Vitamin A/Retinol helps to remove wrinkles but mainly by reducing collagen/elastin degradation. A protein complex called AP-1 produces the enzymes that break apart and degrade collagen and elastin, the major structural materials in skin. Retinol increases the wrinkle reduction but also may increase acne outbreaks.
The need for different versions of P&R is similar to the use of different versions of Retin-A or Hydroxy Acids for people with different skin types.
The oil of lavender has soothing effects on the skin. Oil of Lavender was used on wounds in ancient Greece and Rome over 2,000 years ago. Today it is widely used in clinical wound-treatment products. In one placebo-controlled blinded study of 635 women, it was found that the application of oil of lavender to the outer birth canal resulted in much less pain and discomfort after childbirth. Do not use P&R with Oil of lavender if you are sensitive to Oil of Lavender. Use the P&R Classic instead.
All versions of P&R are compatible when used with alpha hydroxy acids (such as Glycolic Acid) and retin-A. However, some have reported that P&R is not compatible with certain skin cleansers, especially if they are not completely removed from the skin. P&R should not be used at the same time as vitamin C creams since the copper-peptide inactivate the vitamin C.
Combining aGlycolic Acid Peelor aGlycolic Acid Treatment Creamwith a Copper Peptide product will help to stimulate cell turnover and skin regeneration, thereby producing more vibrant and smoother-looking skin even faster than with one product alone.
Exfoliation is a proven skin regeneration treatment and combining an exfoliation product with a Copper Peptide Product will speed your results.
Combining a Copper Peptide Product with a Glycolic Acid Product will help to stimulate and speed collagen and elastin production, thereby producing faster results for smoother-looking skin. Simply mix a small amount of both together and apply a thin layer to the skin.
For best results, mix any of the Protect & Restore Creams with the 10% or 15% Glycolic Acid Creams, or any of the GlyMed Glycolic Acid Treatment Products (The GlyMed products contain high strenghts of Glycolic and Lactic Acid).
The oil-free Copper Peptide Serum is best mixed with the oil-free 15% Glycolic Acid Gel, the Exfol Serum, or the GlyMed AHA Accelerator.
The Copper Peptide Serum is the most potent Copper-Peptide Skin Regeneration Serum Available! CP Serum has 51.0 times more copper-peptide than Neova Night TherapyTM and 19.5 times more copper-peptide than Blue CopperTM!
The Protect & Restore Creams for sale below have 16.4 times more clinically-proven, skin-renewing copper-peptide than Neutrogena Visibly Firm Night CreamTM, 17.5 times more copper-peptide than Neova Night TherapyTM and 6.7 times more copper-peptide than Blue CopperTM!
