Important Safety Information

Do Not Use If You:

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have a copper-metabolism disorder, such as Wilson's disease or Menkes disease
• Have a known allergy or sensitivity to copper or other heavy metals
• Have active liver disease or kidney failure (stage 4 or 5)
• Have a zinc deficiency or transfusion-dependent anemia
• Are under 18
• Have an active skin infection at the application site, or an active malignancy
• Have had an allergic reaction to GHK-Cu or any of its ingredients

Before Using Copper Peptide Cream

Tell your provider about your full medical history, including if you have:

• Any copper or heavy-metal sensitivity
• Liver or kidney conditions
• Low zinc levels or a history of anemia
• Sensitive or reactive skin, or active breakouts at the application site

Also tell your provider about the skincare products and topical medications you use, especially strong vitamin C, retinoids, or exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs).

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

• Do not use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• If you are planning to become pregnant, talk to your provider before starting or continuing use.

Call Your Provider If You Experience:

• A serious allergic reaction: swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; difficulty breathing or swallowing; widespread rash, hives, or dizziness
• Significant or worsening skin irritation: persistent redness, burning, blistering, or swelling at the application site
• Any reaction that does not settle when you reduce use

If you have a serious allergic reaction, stop use and seek immediate medical attention.

Common Side Effects

Some people have no side effects. The most common are mild and limited to where the cream is applied:

• Skin dryness (more likely with frequent use)
• Temporary redness, irritation, or itching at the application site

Your provider may suggest zinc supplementation alongside it. Contact your provider if symptoms persist or worsen.

Product Interactions

• No significant systemic drug interactions are expected with topical use.
• Avoid applying in the same step as strong vitamin C, retinoids, or strong exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs), which can reduce how well the copper peptide works or increase irritation.
