What it is
GHK-Cu at 1.0% — the concentration the work is actually done at, not a trace amount with a good story attached. Panthenol and betaine keep it comfortable enough to use morning and night.
It goes on after the water layer, before cream. Not with direct acids: copper peptides and low pH are a standoff, and you paid for the copper.

Where it sits on the ramp
Five flood bands, F-100 to F-500, by how dilute the formula is.
F-500
The Copper System only — four SKUs, face only.
How to use it
- 01After the water layer, before cream.
- 02Use it morning and night.
- 03Do not layer it with direct acids — alternate them on different days instead.
- 04Introduce one new active at a time, so an irritation has one obvious cause.

-
SUPPORTING
Pro-vitamin B5
A humectant used for the feel of comfort in a formula that is doing something demanding.

SUPPORTING
Betaine
An osmolyte used to keep an active comfortable on skin.
These are the actives and the supporting ingredients we formulate around. The complete INCI list is being added to every product page.

Eight weeks was almost exactly right
Around week six I thought nothing was happening and then I looked at a photo from January and my cheeks are noticeably firmer. Bouncy is a silly word but it is the accurate one.
5.0
Worth it. The bottle lasts about four months for me so the monthly cost is not as frightening as the sticker.
5.0
Brighter is the first thing anyone noticed
Firmer came later, around week nine.
4.0
Results are real
The texture takes getting used to — it is a proper serum, slightly slippery, and you need to let it sink before anything else goes on or it will pill.
5.0
No irritation whatsoever, which surprised me at this concentration. Works alongside my retinal on alternate nights.
5.0
Full dose copper and they print the number
That is the entire reason I bought it over three cheaper ones and I do not regret it.
4.0
Good, steady, unglamorous improvement
No dramatic before-and-after, just skin that looks better rested than it should.
3.0
It is an excellent product and it is a hundred and eighty eight pounds. Both of those are true. I have repurchased once and I am undecided about a third.

Questions
Frequently asked
Common questions about the blue serum
What does the colour on the bottle mean?
It is the dose. Every product floods one of five steps of the same blue: the palest is the cleansers, where water does the work, and full-strength cupric is reserved for the four copper products. A product cannot change band because of a season or a repackage.
Why is copper limited to four products?
Because a flagship that can be extended forever is not a flagship. GHK-Cu at full dose is the most expensive thing we make and it stays on the face, in four products. If we launch a fifth copper SKU, we will have changed our minds in public rather than quietly.
Do you publish the percentages?
On every product, in the first chapter of the page, before any claim is made about it. Where a formula is a blend rather than a single active, the page shows the blend instead of inventing a headline number.
How do I know what not to layer?
It is printed in the how-to-use block on each product, not buried in an FAQ. The short version: copper peptides and direct acids do not go on together, and a retinal night is followed by SPF in the morning.
Where do I start?
The copper protocol — the blue serum, the barrier cream and the daily spf. Treat, repair-adjacent support, and protection, which is the whole argument of the system in three steps.
Before you buy
The number is a position, not a grade.
Every active at the percentage it is used at, and what not to layer it with — stated before any claim is made about it.
