Copper Peptide and Wrinkle-Fill Serum/Gel for Oily, Acne-Prone Skin

Yes, you can create a serum or gel using Copper Peptide and Wrinkle-Fill (Acetyl-Tyrosine) for oily, acne-prone skin. Both ingredients offer benefits that can address concerns like acne scars and wrinkles.

How to Formulate

1. Choose your Copper Peptide: You can use a Copper Peptide solution (like Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu, Copper Tripeptide-1) 1000ppm or 10000ppm Solution) or the powder form (Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu Copper Tripeptide-1, 1:1) Powder).
   • Usage rate for solutions: 1-3%
   • Usage rate for powder: 0.01-1%
2. Choose your Wrinkle-Fill: Use Wrinkle-Fill (Acetyl-Tyrosine) powder.
   • Usage rate: 1-2%
3. Base: Select a light, non-greasy base suitable for oily skin, such as a gel base or a simple serum base primarily composed of water and humectants.
4. Mixing:
   • Dissolve Wrinkle-Fill (Acetyl-Tyrosine) in the water phase of your formulation.
   • Prepare the rest of your base.
   • Add the Copper Peptide (solution or dissolved powder) in the final step, ensuring the temperature of the mixture is below 40°C.
5. pH Adjustment: This is crucial. Copper Peptide is stable in a pH range of 4.5-7.4. Wrinkle-Fill (Acetyl-Tyrosine) is acidic. After adding both ingredients, check the final pH of your formulation and adjust it to be within the 4.5-7.4 range for optimal stability and effectiveness of the Copper Peptide.

Compatibility

Wrinkle-Fill (Acetyl-Tyrosine) is designed to work well with anti-wrinkle peptides, making it suitable for use with Copper Peptide. The key is managing the pH as described above.

This combination can help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and address acne scars, while the gel or light serum base keeps it suitable for oily skin.
