Effectiveness of 2% Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) for Acne Scars
Question
I would like to know about the effectiveness of using 2% Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) for treating acne scars. Is this concentration suitable, and how well does it work for improving the appearance of acne scars?
Answer
Using Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) for Acne Scars
Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) is known for its benefits in skin regeneration and can be helpful for addressing acne scars. The concentration of 2% you mentioned is within the recommended usage range for the liquid forms of GHK-Cu.
However, the effectiveness of using GHK-Cu alone for acne scars depends on the age and depth of the scars. According to product information, GHK-Cu is most effective on newer acne scars. For older scars (more than 3 months old) or deeper scars, combining GHK-Cu with other methods like Derma Roller or Micro Needling is often recommended to stimulate faster skin cell regeneration and improve results.
Therefore, while 2% GHK-Cu can be beneficial, especially for newer scars, for more pronounced or older scars, using it in combination with other treatments or ingredients that support skin repair and collagen production might yield better results.
