What Is Copper Peptide Body Lotion? A Guide to GHK-Cu Body Care

If you already reach for body lotion after a shower, copper peptide body lotion fits into the same step. The difference is in the ingredient list. Here’s what to look for on the label and how to choose a formula you’ll want to use regularly.

What is copper peptide body lotion?

Copper peptide body lotion is a body moisturizer formulated with a copper peptide. One you’ll often see is GHK-Cu, also listed as Copper Tripeptide-1. It’s made up of a short chain of three amino acids bound to copper. If you see either name on the label, it refers to the same ingredient.

What should you look for in the formula?

Start with how you want the lotion to feel. If you’re moisturizing your arms and legs every morning, choose a texture you’ll be comfortable putting on before getting dressed. If you tend to focus on dry-feeling areas like elbows and shins, you may prefer a richer lotion you can apply where you need it.

Read the full ingredient list, especially if you have preferences around scent or texture. The copper peptide tells you about one ingredient. The rest of the formula helps determine how it spreads and feels on your skin.

How do you use copper peptide body lotion?

Follow the directions on your product. For VENA’s Peptide Restore Body Lotion, apply it to clean, dry body skin. Start with a small amount and smooth it over the areas you want to moisturize. After your shower is an easy time to make it part of your routine.

Can you use it every day?
