Tripeptide-1 (GHK)

Tripeptide-1 (GHK) is a naturally occurring matrikine peptide composed of glycine, histidine, and lysine. It drives skin regeneration and supports extracellular matrix signaling. The peptide stimulates collagen production, activates fibroblasts, and promotes tissue remodeling. It improves skin structure and enhances resilience. Unlike copper-bound peptides, GHK acts as a precursor signal molecule. It binds copper ions in situ and forms active complexes. Formulators use GHK in advanced skincare systems. It fits anti-aging, post-procedure recovery, and barrier repair applications.
