Peptide skincare FAQ
What is the difference between Matrixyl and Argireline?
Matrixyl ingredients are signal peptides, studied for prompting skin-matrix production. Argireline (acetyl hexapeptide-3) is a neurotransmitter-inhibitor peptide that interfered with the SNARE complex in laboratory experiments on neurotransmitter release; its first study used healthy women volunteers (Blanes-Mira et al., 2002).
What does copper peptide do in skincare?
“Copper peptide” usually means GHK-Cu. Laboratory studies link it to collagen synthesis in fibroblasts, and an 8-week split-face study in 40 women aged 40–65 tested it in formulated products. Results across studies are mixed, so it is promising rather than proven.
Is copper peptide serum better than Matrixyl cream?
Neither has been shown to be superior. In a 19-person comparison, wrinkle-volume change was −22.7% with formulated GHK-Cu and −17.2% with Matrixyl 3000 (Badenhorst et al., 2016). That small study tested its own formulations, not the products sold here.
Are these skincare products research vials?
No. They are finished cosmetic products, each with its own label, directions and warnings. Lyophilized research vials such as GHK-Cu are different products sold for laboratory work only. They carry no skin directions and are not intended for cosmetic use.
Where can I buy peptide skincare in the US?
Ellepeptides ships its serum, cream and essence to addresses within the United States, with prices in U.S. dollars. Shipping is free when the merchandise subtotal exceeds $200 after coupon discounts, before taxes and shipping. Otherwise, standard shipping is $15.99 per order; the shipping policy has details.
