Copper peptide is a compound that consists of a peptide protein that has bound to copper. Peptides are proteins that are organised and identified in different classes according to how they are produced.

The peptides that are present in skin regeneration are naturally produced in the body in a response to tissue damage.

The use of copper peptides for skin regeneration was discovered in the 1970’s by Dr Pickart. They were found to be very effective in healing wounds and skin lesions.

The use of this compound in scar reduction has been around for many years. Many people have found it to be very effective in reducing the visual effects of scars. It is also used after surgery to reduce the formation of scars. The compound helps to regulate the production of collagen that is responsible for scar tissue development and enables the body to produce more regular collagen that is present in normal skin production.

They are used in a method that is known as consistent skin exfoliation and therefore remove the top layers of skin which in theory will remove any scars and allow the production of healthy skin below. This process is also very effective for the removal of skin tags, moles and blemishes.

Copper peptides are also widely used as an anti-aging product and help with tightening facial skin, increasing skin elasticity, tone, thickness and tone.

This compound is hailed by many and understandably so. It can be effective when used properly and make a difference to peoples lives. A word of caution is always needed when trying to fool nature, while copper peptides have many advantages, over use can actually leave skin damaged.

There are numerous products available online that contain the copper peptides compound. These are all based on the patents of Dr Pickart.
