AHK-Cu (copper peptide) is formed by three amino acids, tripeptide is also called blue copper peptide; glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. Tripeptide is a ternary molecule composed of three amino acids connected by two peptide bonds. It can effectively block the nerve conduction of an acetylcholine substance, relax muscles, and improve dynamic wrinkles.

AHK-Cu has the following main functions in skin care products:

Promote collagen synthesis: AHK-Cu can stimulate fibroblasts in the skin, promote the production of collagen, help enhance the elasticity and firmness of the skin, and thus slow down the phenomenon of skin aging and sagging.

Anti-wrinkle effect: By promoting the self-repair of the skin and the increase of collagen, tripeptide can effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles, especially expression lines and dynamic lines.

Antioxidant: AHK-Cu has a certain antioxidant function, which can neutralize the production of free radicals, reduce the damage of the external environment to the skin, and prevent skin aging.

Repair skin barrier: AHK-Cu can help repair and strengthen the barrier function of the skin, improve the skin's water retention capacity, make the skin more tender and smooth, and reduce dryness and roughness.

Soothing and anti-inflammatory: Some tripeptides also have soothing effects, which can help reduce inflammatory reactions and relieve skin sensitivity symptoms, and are especially suitable for sensitive skin.

AHK-Cu are widely used in skin care products, and are commonly found in anti-aging, firming and lifting, repairing essences, creams, and eye care products. It is a gentle, safe and effective anti-aging active ingredient suitable for long-term use.
