Copper peptides have a long history in skin science, and CU Restore brings them together with two further actives in a high-strength microneedling serum. Understanding what each ingredient does helps you place the product confidently in your protocols.

8% GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide associated with supporting collagen production and skin renewal. At 8%, CU Restore delivers a notably high concentration for professional use.

Hexapeptide-8

Often discussed in the context of expression lines, Hexapeptide-8 works to relax and smooth, refining overall skin texture.

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid plumps and replenishes moisture, helping repair the skin barrier and accelerate recovery after needling and energy-based procedures.
