In this study, vegan collagen (VC) was used and administered daily at 5 g versus fish collagen (FC) at 5 g for 8 weeks in 90 subjects divided into the placebo group ( n = 30), VC ( n = 30), and FC ( n = 30), and skin parameters were measured at baseline, week 4, and week 8, which included skin collagen density, elasticity, wrinkles, texture, hydration, and pore size

Benefits of Copper Peptides for Skin Copper peptides are powerful antioxidants with a plethora of skin benefits, including the following: Collagen stimulation Reduced hyperpigmentation Firmer, plumper skin Rejuvenated skin Reduced inflammation Improved skin tone Anti-inflammatory effects Antioxidant properties Promoted wound healing Enhanced hydration Reduced acne scars Side Effects of Copper Peptides Copper peptides are a low-risk skincare ingredient, but they may cause the following allergic reactions: Skin irritation Redness Hives Itchiness Burning sensation Purging pimples Copper peptides are non-comedogenic, which means they do not clog pores or cause acne breakouts
By influencing gene expression related to collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis, GHK-CU peptides may promote wound healing, making them a significant subject of interest for researchers focused on tissue regeneration and skin health protocols
