But since peptide coupling agents are described as immune sensitizers, it stands to reason that the risk even if its small exists for everyone.18 Copper peptide uglies Anecdotal reports suggest that some people may experience worsened skin aging, instead of anti-aging, after using products with GHK-Cu, a rare concern dubbed copper peptide uglies. While this isnt necessarily a safety issue, it is a (again, rare) potential negative effect of using copper peptide products

GHK-Cu skin benefits GHK-Cu signals fibroblasts (the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin) to ramp up production
If a reducing-agent-containing assay buffer is required, add GHK-Cu in the final step at the working dilution
Neglecting sun protection Copper peptides provide zero UV protection
