  • Copper peptides can be used in either your morning or evening routine, but nighttime application often produces better results. During sleep, the skin shifts into repair mode, with increased cell turnover and regenerative activity. GHK-Cu's collagen-stimulating and healing properties align well with these natural nighttime processes.
  • Evening application also avoids potential conflicts with sunscreen ingredients and provides extended contact time without interference from makeup or environmental exposure throughout the day.
  • If you prefer morning application, the antioxidant properties of copper peptides can help protect skin from daytime environmental damage.
  • Just remember to apply sunscreen as your final step, and consider using a separate zinc-oxide free formula if you want to maximize the copper peptide activity.
