Why is it that everywhere we look, we still see wrinkles and lines and sagging skin? Well, maybe with the exception of glamorous beauties of Hollywood, but who knows how many surgeries it took to achieve that look. Why is it that after applying a skin care product you may notice your wrinkles instantly disappearing just to see them pop up again the next morning? In fact, an even better question may be: Why is it that some creams seem to make your skin appear even worse?

So if you are wondering if it is even possible to repair wrinkles and to restore the skin's youthful glow, the short answer is “Yes”. However, the quest for younger skin is often a perilous journey. Too many so called anti-wrinkle treatments or quick-fixes can damage your skin and greatly accelerate its aging.

Say “Yes” to Younger Skin

Starting on a path leading to younger and healthier skin is easier than you may think. All you need is:

This last point may seem a bit confusing. Isn’t it Mother Nature that causes us to age? Yes and no. In reality, our skin is equipped with unique self-repair and self-renewal mechanisms that can be activated at any age. Skin aging research by noted biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart has led to the best skincare for harnessing your skin's natural power: copper peptides. Copper peptides are tiny biochemical gems that are proven to be the best answer to a majority of skin care problems from acne and scars to wrinkles and age spots.

As you explore this website, you will learn how these molecules work and how they can be used to achieve a wrinkle-free, smooth and youthful look.

Copper peptides are small protein fragments that have a high affinity (liking) for copper ions. The best known copper-peptide is GHK-Cu – the first copper-peptide discovered by Dr. Pickart.

According to studies this small molecule can rebuild the skin, repair wrinkles, restore your skin’s youthful glow, reduce skin’s laxity, mottled pigmentation, fade appearance of scars when used with exfoliating acids and even reset your skin’s DNA to its youthful state.

Quick, short advice based on many scientific studies...

These are general starting instructions for rebuilding skin. But everyone's skin is different, so it may take some experimenting to find what works best for yourself. Also, start copper peptide products lightly. The biggest mistake is overusing products when starting. The process of rebuilding skin with is slow, but not irritating. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and skin lesions is much slower. But even very strong Retin-A takes about 2 years to reduce major wrinkles at the price of chronic redness and irritation. Also, most people have buried skin damage under relatively good-looking skin. This will slowly emerge and your skin many look worse for a time. Usually other blemishes such as moles, skin tags, sun damage spots, etc become less visible with time.

For your face..... Copper Peptides supply nutritional copper to the skin. Without adequate copper, the skin cannot repair skin damage. Numerous studies from the USDA Nutrition Laboratories indicate that most of the persons ingest too little copper.

Copper Peptide serums work best on oily skin areas like the T-Zone and the Copper Peptide creams are best for drier skin areas. The fastest actions are on general skin tone and glow. The best results to improve the appearance of wrinkles, pores, and loose skin are:

1. Use a very mild cleanser. Do not over cleanse your skin. Use biological oils such as squalane or emu oil (very similar to human skin oil) to remove make up.

2. Copper Peptide Serums are best on sensitive skin or oily outbreak-prone skin. Copper Peptide creams work best of dryer skin areas.

3. If using Copper Peptide Serum follow it by applying a very light amount of Emu Oil. Start with 2 drops of each daily for your face and increase the amount slowly. If your skin feels oily, blot off the excess oil with a tissue. Later you might change to a higher amount of the copper peptide serum.

4. For your eyes, use very mild Copper Peptide Creams. This is a difficult area but it can be greatly improved.

5. At night, you might alternate a mild Hydroxy Acid and a Copper Peptide Cream. If you have problems with acne, then use Retinol-free creams.

6. Many people move to stronger Copper Peptide products after making gradual transitions from products containing less copper peptides.

7. Copper peptides and retinoic acid applied together often work very well.

8. Daily supplements of 1 gram Vitamin C, 1 gram MSM and 5 grams of Flaxseed Oil, which contains high levels of gamma linolenic acid, also help.

9. Stress inhibits skin renewal and skin repair by increasing blood cortisol. Stress shortens your life. Taking 15 mgs daily of DHEA for a few months may help block the cortisol effect and stimulate skin repair.

10. Regular aerobic exercise floods more blood into the skin and speeds skin repair and scar reduction. Vigorous exercise improves the quality of proteins produced by your genes which in turn helps your skin health.

11. Microdermabrasion cloths (cost about $10) often help remove older skin.

12. Skin needle rollers also can help skin remodeling. But do not use them more than every 1 or 2 weeks. Be certain to effectively wash the rollers after use and sterilize it before further use.

13. For very resistant skin areas, an esthetician can use deep peels with strong acids and/or needling to break up hard skin tissue and scar tissue. This can get thing going in the right direction.

Copper Peptides are designed as the perfect skin renewal booster by using the skin's natural molecules and actions to bring skin to a biologically younger condition and decade of aging.

In children, complex systems to renew skin synergize to keep skin beautiful. But as we age, our building blocks remain but are rarely activated.

Wrinkles and skin damage accumulate because of a lack of adequate skin remodeling and regeneration as we age, not because of cell and DNA damage due to free radicals and sun exposure. (Scientific American, Oct. 2008, pages 30-33).

Copper Peptides products for anti aging facial skin care work well on mature skin to improve the skin's appearance, glow, texture and complexion while working to renew skin.

They help to reduce wrinkles and fine lines while tightening and thickening skin by increasing collagen and elastin. They also increase natural skin moisturization by tightening the skin barrier and increasing the skin's water holding proteins and sugars.

On damaged skin, the products help remove scars, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, skin tags, stretch marks, skin bumps, moles, and skin lesions.

Various products are formulated for all skin regions such as the oily T-Zone and dryer outer facial skin, tender breast skin, and foot care making these patented copper-peptides not only the best face products, but the best body products.

Copper peptide products are based on hard science on skin renewal that is published in scientific journals. Our goal is Healthy Beauty.

Virtually all other skin products are based quick fix methods, the gimmick of the year, and very dubious science. Most damage skin in the long term. In reality, the skin products industry consists of advertising agencies that sell skin products.

We would recommend Copper Peptides (CPs) to rejuvenate the skin, which seems to be gentle, safe, and based upon the skin's systems for renewal.

Copper Peptides help your body to remove the effects of time and skin damage.

Your skin is a powerhouse of building blocks that remodel and beautify your complexion. It is a complex system (imagine delicately carved bricks and mortar) that works to chisel away damage, elasticize skin, diminish wrinkles producing a smoother, soft and more vibrant tone... much the same as building a majestic sculpture.

Skin aging research by noted biochemist Dr. Loren Pickart has led to the best skincare ideas for harnessing your skin's natural power: Copper Peptides (CPs).

Dr. Pickart's discoveries on CPs have been verified by published articles at over 50 laboratories in leading universities and research institutes.

Copper peptides have been proven gentle, safe and effective in numerous clinical studies published in international dermatology journals.

There is no other cosmetic skin renewal product that can demonstrate this level of independent published evidence to prove its effectiveness. For those concerned about copper absorption, very little copper from cosmetic products containing copper peptides penetrate the skin.

However, tissue copper is not harmful. In fact, numerous studies are finding that higher tissue copper protects against many diseases of aging.

Doctor Loren Pickart discovered Copper Peptides.

Have you ever wondered why babies have such beautiful skin? When we are children, our skin naturally remodels and renews itself unveiling a youthful glow.

Remodeling plays the most crucial role of skincare, the Sine Non Qua (that which cannot be done without). Remodeling is the cycle of renewal that removes older skin, scars, blemishes, and damaged proteins while replacing them with a new, younger complexion.

However, as we age, this process slows down and produces a dry, wrinkled, inelastic skin populated by unsightly lesions.

Remodeling offers a mechanism of repair that removes damaged materials from the skin and creates new, tight, blemish-free skin.

Retinoic acid (retin-A), the first widely used product to remodel skin, reduces fine lines – but at a price. This highly acidic product unleashes some unpleasant side effects such as chronic irritation and redness.

When Dr. Loren Pickart discovered Copper Peptides (CPs), he found that these natural molecules signal the skin to reduce wrinkles without irritation. They increase the skin's internal water-holding proteins which moisturize skin.

Clinical studies have found CPs more effective in restoring the skin's collagen than Vitamin C or retin-A. Collagen and elastin are rebuilt, giving you a firmer, more elastic skin. The advantage of these peptides over retin-A is that they are non-irritating and possess strong anti-inflammatory properties.

In every comparative clinical study, skin remodeling copper peptides have proved superior to Retin-A(R), Vitamin C creams, and Kinerase(R) in terms of reducing wrinkles, blotchiness and improving firmness.

CPs also help activate your skin's system to remove damaged collagen, elastin and reduce the skin's production of the scar-producing factor, TGF-beta.

Watch copper peptides turn back the clock on skin aging!

In a week – Skin color and "glow" improves as the blood capillary network is rebuilt. Lifeless and graying skin regains the rosy glow of youth.

In a month – Skin becomes better moisturized as the skin barrier tightens and the water-holding proteins (proteoglycans) increase. Many individuals have reported that when using copper peptides consistently they no longer need moisturizers. Skin firms and tightens as new collagen and elastin replaces old damaged proteins. The skin slowly thickens and appears much younger and more resilient.

Over several months – Skin lesions and scars slowly vanish while wrinkles are reduced. The result is a younger-looking, smoother, blemish-free skin. This process can be hastened by applying hydroxy acids to speed exfoliation. Clear, blemish-free skin is the number one factor in interpersonal attraction based on psychological studies of 170 human cultures.

Although you may find other companies selling Copper-Peptide products, our tests reveal they provide little or at best marginal activity.

In fact, there are peptide cosmetics that actually inhibit skin repair. Some contain peptides derived from yeast or bacteria that can cause skin allergies and asthma.

Many companies marketing harmful forms of copper peptides have been fined repeatedly by the US Federal Trade Commission for false advertising.

"Clinically proven" is a meaningless advertising slogan that can imply virtually anything.

Many peptide products claim to improve skin by increasing the production of collagen, elastin, and proteoglycans.

Manufacturers state these peptides act much like Transforming Factor Beta-1 (TGF-beta 1). TGF-beta 1 and peptides with similar actions were intensively tested in wound healing studies about ten years ago.

Such peptides failed because, while they rapidly healed wounds, they also produced heavy and unacceptable scarring. If you use these new peptides, be cautious. We have received several reports indicating hard spots on the skin or lumps under the skin after a month of using these products.

With TGF beta, there were further concerns over potential side effects. TGF-beta-1 can make normal cells grow like cancer cells and may speed the growth of breast cancer. It also may play a role in the development of kidney failure.

The following diagram is based on GHK-copper(II) actions. Newer copper peptides act similarly but are composed of less fragile peptides that also have a better adherence to the skin.
