Using Copper Peptide in a Pore Tightening Toner
Question
I would like to make a toner for pore tightening. Can I mix Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) with Witch Hazel for this purpose? I understand Copper Peptide is often used for skin regeneration and acne scars, especially with treatments like microneedling. Will it be effective for pore tightening when simply mixed into Witch Hazel?

Hello,
Regarding your question about mixing Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) with Witch Hazel to make a toner for pore tightening:
Based on the staff's response, you can mix Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) with Witch Hazel. There are no compatibility issues with this combination.
However, the staff also mentioned that Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu) is primarily used for stimulating skin regeneration and healing, such as treating wounds or acne scars, and may not be the most effective ingredient specifically for tightening pores. Its main benefit is in helping the skin regenerate more effectively, especially when combined with treatments that stimulate skin renewal (like microneedling for acne scars).
So, while you can mix them, Copper Peptide might not provide the pore-tightening effect you are looking for.
Thank you.
