How often should I use copper peptides?
Copper peptides are an extremely useful addition to any skin care routine. Considered a key ingredient in any daily routine, these peptides occur naturally in the body. When mixed into skincare formulas, they can fight the aging process, blemishes, and uneven skin tone.
So what makes copper peptides so special? In fact, copper is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that can help heal skin damage while boosting collagen production. When you combine these with other potent and active ingredients, you get a stronger, firmer, and healthier complexion.

Can I use copper peptides every day?
Yes, you can. In fact, it is highly recommended to use copper peptides twice a day. You’ll notice that formulas that are often enriched with copper peptides are serums, face oils, and moisturizers. This is considered the best way to achieve the best results because, unlike cleansers and face washes, these products stay on the skin longer and are not rinsed off. You’ll also find that other formulas, such as serums and moisturisers, are often applied at the end of your daily routine, ensuring that any consistency can be layered on top without being absorbed through the physical barrier of a thick cream.
By incorporating copper peptide-infused products into your skincare routine, you can give your skin the boost it needs to regulate and maintain its healthiest skin, with minimal effort on your part and the peptides doing all the hard work for you!
How often should I use peptides?
You can introduce peptides into your daily routine at any age, starting in your 20s and continuing all the way into your 60s. As I mentioned before, using copper peptide products twice a day can result in a repaired, hydrated and more resilient complexion. By strengthening the skin barrier, it protects itself from environmental influences such as pollution, central heating and UV radiation, and damage caused by free radicals.
As with all skincare products, it’s important to make sure you’re using it correctly and that your skin approves of its use. If you have any questions, consult a doctor, dermatologist or medical professional.
How do you use copper peptides in your daily routine?
Copper peptides are one of the most powerful skin ingredients, with impressive multi-tasking abilities. You’ll find copper peptide extracts in formulas like serums, moisturizers, face oils, and nighttime masks. Just make sure to use the product correctly, from the thinnest to the thickest consistency, to really reap the benefits of the different active ingredients in your skincare routine.
By incorporating them into your daily skincare routine, you can fight signs of free radical damage, scarring, and post-acne redness. Copper peptides boost collagen production, ensuring optimal skin barrier health, which repairs skin damage.
Can you use copper peptides in the morning?
Yes, you can. It’s generally considered a good idea to use copper peptide products morning and night. When you use it in the morning, you provide your skin with a protective layer thanks to its antioxidant properties. This ensures that she’s able to fight off daily aggressors that come into contact with the skin. As for the benefits it brings to your evening routine, the abundance of collagen can speed up the skin’s self-repair after being damaged during the day.
Do copper peptides have anti-aging effects?
Yes, they are! Copper peptides are very effective for anti-aging. Not only are they effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the surface of the skin. They’re often considered to be able to produce similar results to powerful retinols. Although copper peptides have impressive results, unlike retinol, they cannot improve skin texture, which means they will show signs of roughness and dark spots.

Do Peptides Really Work?
Yes, peptides are very effective at treating skin and reversing signs of aging, from loss of elasticity to fine lines and wrinkles. The only problem is that the exact mechanism of copper peptides’ effects is still relatively unknown. Many studies have shown that peptides have the ability to improve skin overall. The main factor that makes peptides so effective is their ability to communicate with cells. Once applied topically to the surface of the skin, they can send signals to skin cells telling them what to do.
Although copper peptides can boost collagen production and keep your complexion as healthy as possible, it is generally considered a good idea to combine them with other active ingredients like hyaluronic acid.
What shouldn’t peptides be used with?
There are some ingredients that shouldn’t be used with peptides, such as AHAs, glycolic acid, BHAs, salicylic acid, and other potent active ingredients like vitamin C and retinol.
Still, I recommend using these ingredients together because it yields impressive skin results. What I mean by this is to make sure you apply each product to your skin properly and give them enough time to absorb into the skin, thus avoiding any concerns about irritation or allergic reactions. You can also use these ingredients in your daily skincare routine, alternating them on your face. For example, peptides are very effective during the day to protect the skin surface from daily aggressions. Use retinol in your evening routine for the best anti-aging and skin regeneration results.
