Prescription-strength 2.5% GHK-Cu face cream, compounded for you by a licensed 503A pharmacy and reviewed by a board-certified physician before it ships. Most over-the-counter serums stay under 1%.
GHK-Cu is a copper-binding peptide found naturally in human plasma. Levels decline with age. Applied topically, it signals the skin processes behind collagen and elastin.
GHK-Cu acts as a signaling molecule for fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen and elastin. More signal supports the structure that keeps skin looking firm and lifted.
With daily use, texture feels smoother and fine lines appear softened, typically over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent use.
The emollient cream base doubles as your moisturizer step, supporting hydration and the skin barrier from the first application.
A more even, refreshed overall tone as skin adjusts. Changes are appearance-based and vary from person to person.

Results are appearance based and vary from person to person, which is why every Precision Telemed prescription starts with a physician review.
Copper peptide cream delivers GHK-Cu, a copper binding peptide that signals the skin processes behind collagen and elastin. With daily use, skin typically looks firmer and more hydrated, texture feels smoother, and fine lines appear softened.
Most people notice texture and hydration changes in 2 to 4 weeks. Firmness and the look of fine lines typically improve over 8 to 12 weeks, with visible change plateauing around weeks 12 to 16. Individual results vary.
Yes. The simplest approach is copper peptide cream in the morning and retinol at night, or alternating evenings if your skin is sensitive. They work through different mechanisms and complement each other well.
Use them at different times of day rather than layered together. Pure vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) can interact with the copper ion, so most routines put vitamin C in the morning and copper peptides in the evening.
Avoid applying copper peptides at the same time as pure vitamin C or strong exfoliating acids such as glycolic or salicylic acid. All of these can stay in your weekly routine, just at a different time of day than your copper peptide cream.
No, and we do not claim they are. Retinoids have a broader evidence base for fine lines and photoaging. Copper peptides are a gentler, repair focused complement, and a practical alternative for skin that cannot tolerate nightly retinoids.
Topical copper peptides are generally well tolerated. Occasional reports include mild redness, warmth, or tingling where applied, and dryness when combined with strong actives. Discontinue and contact your physician if irritation persists.
The blue color comes from the copper ion bound to the peptide itself, not from a dye. At concentrations up to 3%, skin staining is generally not noted.
Yes. Compounded copper peptide preparations typically range from 0.2% to 3%, which places 2.5% near the top of that range. Typical over-the-counter serums are under 1%, so 2.5% is meaningfully stronger and is prescribed with physician oversight.
It depends on your routine. Serums are lightweight layers, usually under 1% GHK-Cu, worn under a separate moisturizer. A 2.5% cream combines prescription strength with an emollient base in one step, which suits mature, dry, or sensitive skin.
Yes. At 2.5%, GHK-Cu cream is compounded by a licensed 503A pharmacy and requires a prescription. Precision Telemed physicians review your skin assessment online and prescribe only when it is appropriate for you.
