With a molecular weight of just 403.93 Da well below the 500 Da cutoff typically associated with significant skin penetration GHK-Cu is small enough to penetrate the stratum corneum (outer skin layer) in concentrations sufficient to activate regenerative processes
It regulates actin (the structural protein inside your cells), promotes stem cell migration toward damaged tissue, and supports new blood vessel formation on a systemic level
When combined with the GHK-Cu peptide treatment, it provides an exponential increase in the effect seen synergistically
