“I honestly didn’t expect much but I’m really liking this serum. It feels nice on my skin and doesn’t leave it all sticky. My face feels softer and more hydrated already.”
Most serums name a peptide on the label without telling you how much is inside. We print the exact percentage of active in every formula — a no-needle skin solution with copper peptides and hyaluronic acid, suitable for all skin types.
No proprietary blends, no hidden percentages. Suitable for all skin types — choose by what you're after, or by how much active you want.
Shipping is charged once per order: $10 standard (3–5 business days) or $15 express (1–2 business days).
A gentler 1% copper-peptide serum with hyaluronic acid — an easy first step for newer or more sensitive skin.

Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine.
Our highest dose — 3% copper peptides with hyaluronic acid, in a light dropper serum made for the scalp and hairline.
Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu), Hyaluronic Acid, Glycerine.
The same serums, bundled together for less.
One bottle of The Standard (2%) for your face and one of The Scalp Restore (3%) for your scalp and hairline, together for 5% less.
Three bottles of The Standard, our 2% copper-peptide serum. Stock up for the months ahead and save 5%.
Wash face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry.
Press one full dropper of serum into face and neck until absorbed.
Seal with your standard moisturiser and daytime sunscreen.
Using The Scalp Restore? Part the hair and apply one full dropper directly to the scalp, morning and night. Massage in gently — no need to rinse.
Suitable for all skin types. New to peptides or sensitive? Patch test on the inner arm first and introduce gradually.
We separate human topical results from laboratory evidence, then show exactly how each finding informed our formulas. No ingredient gets promoted beyond the study that supports it.
GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring tripeptide bound to copper. Laboratory studies connect it with extracellular-matrix signalling; small human topical studies report visible improvements in firmness, density and wrinkle appearance.
In fibroblast and skin models, GHK-Cu influences pathways associated with collagen, elastin and matrix turnover.
Controlled cosmetic studies are encouraging, but smaller and older than the evidence base for established actives such as retinoids.
Face serums at 1% and 2%, plus a higher 3% leave-on scalp formula for concentrated copper-peptide care.
Human appearance outcomes and experimental collagen measurements answer different questions. Here they stay separate, with the study size and timeframe attached.
Participants aged 50-59 had mild to advanced photodamage and used GHK-Cu cream against placebo.
Investigators reported improvements in visible laxity, clarity, firmness, density, thickness and wrinkle appearance.
In a separate one-month thigh-skin comparison. This was an experimental tissue endpoint, not a facial wrinkle result.
These studies support GHK-Cu as a cosmetic ingredient. They do not prove that 1%, 2% or 3% is superior, and they were not trials of Skincare Science Australia finished products.
In an 8-week study, GHK-Cu reduced measured wrinkle volume by 55.8% versus a control serum — visibly smoother-looking skin, backed by science.
In fibroblast (skin-cell) testing, GHK-Cu paired with low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid raised Collagen IV by 25.4× — deep hydration meeting real structural support.
In head-to-head testing, GHK-Cu raised collagen more reliably than vitamin C or retinoic acid. Copper is the very cofactor skin uses to cross-link and strengthen new collagen — firmer, denser structure, not just surface glow.
Ultrasound measured a 28% average rise in collagen density over three months — climbing to +51% in the strongest responders. Real, measurable firmness deep in the skin, not just a smoother surface.
Figures are drawn from published GHK-Cu ingredient and laboratory studies at the concentrations and vehicles described in those papers. They support copper peptides as a cosmetic active; they are not trials of Skincare Science Australia finished products, and individual results vary.
Hyaluronic acid is a humectant with a strong affinity for water. On skin, it supports immediate hydration and a smoother surface; molecular weight changes where it sits and how the formula feels.
Higher-molecular-weight HA forms a hydrating film that helps skin feel cushioned and look smoother.
Lower-molecular-weight forms have shown stronger effects on wrinkle roughness in some topical studies, although formulation still matters.
HA gives The Standard its immediate slip, plump feel and sustained hydration profile.
GHK is a tripeptide — three amino acids, glycine, histidine and lysine, joined by peptide bonds. In GHK-Cu, a copper ion sits coordinated to three of its nitrogen atoms: the N-terminal amine, the amide nitrogen, and the imidazole ring of histidine. It's the same molecule drifting across this page.
A well-known copper peptide in modern skincare, chosen for the way it leaves skin looking and feeling. The Cu is copper — that's where the name, and the blue of the bottle, come from. We simply tell you exactly how much we use.
