Why it works for your skin

Acne is not a hygiene problem. It is an inflammatory response.

Most products only target the symptoms — drying out the skin, damaging the skin barrier, and worsening the problem over time.

GHK-Cu targets the root cause:

• Helps reduce inflammatory markers linked to acne, including IL-6 and TNF-α

• Copper has antimicrobial properties against P. acnes bacteria

• Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and reduce redness

• Hyaluronic Acid hydrates without clogging pores

No drying. No stripping. Your skin is repaired — not attacked.

The science behind the formula

GHK-Cu is not a trend. It is one of the most researched peptides in dermatology.

GHK-Cu Peptide:

• Over 4,000 peer-reviewed studies

• Stimulates Type I and III collagen production in fibroblasts (Maquart et al., 1988)

• Helps inhibit the NF-κB signaling pathway and reduce IL-6 and TNF-α (Pickart et al., 2012)

• Influences over 4,000 genes toward a more youthful expression profile (Broad Institute / CMAP)

• Shown to outperform Retinol and Vitamin C in skin density improvement — without irritation (Leyden et al.)

• Natural production declines by over 60% between the ages of 20 and 60

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3):

• Clinically shown to help reduce excess sebum production

• Supports ceramide synthesis in the skin barrier

• Helps reduce hyperpigmentation and redness

Hyaluronic Acid:

• Binds up to 1,000 times its weight in water

• Helps plump the skin and support optimal peptide performance

Ingredients

• GHK-Cu (Copper Peptide): Supports collagen production, skin regeneration, and improved firmness and skin texture.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Provides deep hydration, helps plump the skin, and supports the effectiveness of the peptides.

Additional Ingredients: Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Hydroxyethylcellulose, 1,2-Hexanediol, Copper Tripeptide-1, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Disodium EDTA.

No fillers. No unnecessary additives — only ingredients with a real function.

Benefits

What CU Serum does for your skin

Most serums contain one active. CU Serum targets two aging pathways at once — collagen synthesis and cellular renewal.

💫

Collagen synthesis

GHK-Cu signals your fibroblasts to produce collagen I, III, and V — the building blocks of firm, elastic skin.

Cellular clock

Cycloastragenol is researched for telomerase activation — an additional mechanism targeting cellular aging from the inside.

💧

Instant hydration

Hyaluronic acid binds 1,000x its weight in water. Plumps and hydrates from the first drop.

🛡

Barrier repair

GHK-Cu strengthens the skin barrier and reduces inflammatory cytokines. Less redness, less sensitivity.

Tightening effect

Visible firming within weeks. The combination of peptide signaling and deep hydration plumps fine lines from within.

🌿

Lightweight formula

Absorbs in seconds. No sticky residue. Layers perfectly under any moisturizer or sunscreen.

Results

Real skin. Real concentration. Real results.

No filters. No editing. Consistent use of GHK-Cu copper peptides over 8–12 weeks.

Before and after 2.5 months on GHK-Cu — acne clearing
Clinical results — before and after GHK-Cu copper peptides

Individual results may vary. Photos show results after consistent GHK-Cu use.

"Most men think they have a bone structure problem — they don't. It's a skin quality problem. Soft jawlines, lack of definition, acne scarring… it usually comes from low collagen and poor skin regeneration, not genetics. What makes this different is the mechanism: GHK-Cu is a signaling peptide that tells your skin to produce more collagen, repair damage, and tighten from within. That's how you get firmer skin, fewer scars, and a more defined facial structure. Not temporary. Not surface-level. It's about rebuilding the structure from the inside out."

"I've used NIOD CAIS for years. Switched to CU Serum because of the Cycloastragenol addition. Same copper peptide quality, better formula, half the price. Won't go back."

"Finally a serum that doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Absorbs in seconds, layers perfectly under my moisturizer. Fine lines around my eyes are noticeably softer after 6 weeks."

"Solid product. The dropper makes dosing easy. Skin feels firmer but I'm only 4 weeks in. Will give it the full 12 weeks before final judgment. Promising so far."

"I was spending £90 on Allies of Skin peptide serum. This does more for a third of the price. The concentration transparency is what convinced me. 1% GHK-Cu — it's right there on the label."

"At 56 I didn't expect much from any skincare anymore. CU Serum proved me wrong. My jawline looks more defined, my skin bounces back when I press it. Real collagen, not marketing."

"As a guy I never had a skincare routine. Started with just this serum. 8 weeks later my barber asked what I changed. Skin looks healthier, fewer red spots, better texture overall."

"The Cycloastragenol sold me — I was already taking it orally. Having it topically too is a game changer. Combined with CU Tallow as the second step, my skin hasn't looked this good since my 30s."

FAQ

Everything you need to know

Cycloastragenol is a compound derived from Astragalus root, researched for telomerase activation. In-vitro studies show promising results for cellular longevity. We position it as a complementary pathway alongside GHK-Cu — not as a proven miracle, but as a science-backed addition.
Absolutely — that's the ideal routine. Apply CU Serum first (2–3 drops), let it absorb for 30 seconds, then seal with CU Tallow. The serum delivers the peptides, the tallow locks them in with its biological carrier.
The Ordinary offers GHK-Cu at 1% — same concentration as ours. The difference: CU Serum adds 0.5% Cycloastragenol as a second active pathway, plus hyaluronic acid. It's a dual-active formula at a comparable price point.
Yes. The formula is gentle enough for the eye area. Apply one drop per eye, patting gently along the orbital bone. GHK-Cu is particularly effective on the thin skin around the eyes where collagen loss shows first.
With 2–3 drops twice daily, one 30ml bottle lasts approximately 8–10 weeks. At €29.95 that's roughly €0.40–0.55 per day — less than a coffee.

Two pathways. One formula.
Zero compromises.

CU Serum — 1% GHK-Cu + 0.5% Cycloastragenol + hyaluronic acid. Transparent concentration. For all skin types. With a 30-day money-back guarantee.
