Prezatide copper (also known as copper tripeptide-1) is a peptide complex that includes a small peptide (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) bound to a copper ion. It is widely used in skincare and dermatological applications due to its ability to promote wound healing, stimulate collagen production, and enhance skin regeneration. The copper ion in the complex is essential for tissue repair and anti-inflammatory actions, while the peptide acts as a carrier to deliver the copper into cells. Prezatide copper has also been studied for its potential to reduce fine lines, improve skin elasticity, and promote hair growth, making it a popular ingredient in anti-aging formulations.
