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.
GHK-Cu was first isolated by Loren Pickart in 1973. Since then, numerous studies have explored its role in cellular communication and tissue repair.
Relevant for the scalp:
• Pickart et al. (2012): GHK-Cu was shown to influence a wide range of genes linked to regeneration and hair follicle function
• Pyo et al. (2007): Copper peptides promoted the proliferation of dermal papilla cells — the cells that play a central role in hair growth
• Uno & Kurata (1993): Topically applied copper peptides showed increased hair follicle size and a prolonged anagen (growth) phase in research
Our 0.3% concentration is significantly higher than many conventional formulations (0.01–0.1%), where copper peptides are often used only in minimal amounts.

CU Shampoo combines copper peptides with sulfate-free surfactants — for a scalp that breathes, and hair that grows stronger from the root.

Over 4,000 studies. 1% copper peptides per bottle. Ten times the dose — enough to measurably improve follicle health.
GHK-Cu + Caffeine + Biotin + Keratin. No fillers. Every ingredient has a function.
No coating. Scalp barrier repair. No sulfates. No silicones. Week four — you feel the difference.
Conventional shampoos cleanse — and destroy the skin barrier in the process. CU Shampoo cleanses and regenerates at the same time.
GHK-Cu promotes blood flow to hair follicles and extends the growth phase (anagen) — for stronger hair from the root.
Strengthens the scalp's skin barrier, sustainably reduces micro-inflammation, flaking and itching.
Normalizes natural sebum production — neither too oily nor too dry. Your scalp finds its balance again.
Stimulates collagen synthesis in the dermis, which improves hair follicle anchoring and counteracts hair loss.
Binds free radicals that cause oxidative stress at the follicles — one of the main causes of premature hair loss.
Sulfate-free, plant-based surfactants remove buildup and styling residue without drying out the scalp.
No hidden dosages. No marketing formula. Everything on the label.
Copper peptides — promote follicle nourishment and collagen synthesis
Provitamin B5 — delivers moisture and soothes the scalp
Vitamin B3 — strengthens the skin barrier, regulates sebum production
Supports keratin production for stronger hair
Repairs damaged hair from the inside out
Our concentration vs. mass market
GHK-Cu — while the average is 0.01–0.1%
GHK-Cu was first isolated in 1973. Since then, over 100 studies have demonstrated its effects on tissue repair and cell communication.
Pickart et al. (2012): GHK-Cu activates over 4,000 genes, including those critical for hair follicle stem cells.
Pyo et al. (2007): Copper peptides promote the proliferation of dermal papilla cells — the cells that control hair growth.
Uno & Kurata (1993): Topical GHK-Cu enlarged hair follicles and extended the anagen phase in clinical trials.
"Hair loss is rarely just a hair problem — it's a scalp problem. The follicle sits in dermal tissue that needs collagen, blood flow, and a healthy barrier to function. GHK-Cu addresses all three simultaneously. At 1% in a shampoo, the contact time is short but the concentration is high enough for measurable follicle stimulation. This is trichology-grade science in a consumer product."
Easy to integrate into your existing routine. 2–3x per week is all it takes.
Thoroughly wet hair with warm water
Massage a hazelnut-sized amount into the scalp
Leave on for 2–3 minutes for optimal absorption

"My scalp was constantly itchy and flaky. Two weeks with this shampoo and the irritation is gone. My hair feels cleaner without that stripped feeling sulfate shampoos give you."
"I've been losing hair since 28. Started CU Shampoo 3 months ago and the shedding has noticeably decreased. My hairdresser even commented that there's more volume at the crown."
"Finally a copper peptide shampoo with actual concentration. Most say 'contains copper peptides' — this one says 1%. That transparency alone earned my trust. Results speak for themselves."
"Nice shampoo, lathers well for sulfate-free. Scalp feels much calmer. Only 6 weeks in so can't comment on growth yet, but the foundation is clearly there. Will keep going."
"My seborrheic dermatitis has been a nightmare. Every shampoo either didn't work or made it worse. This one actually calmed the flaking AND my hair looks healthier. 3 months strong."
"Combining this with the CU Conditioner is the best decision I made for my hair. After 8 weeks my hair is visibly thicker and my scalp doesn't produce excess oil anymore."
"As a guy with thinning hair, I was embarrassed to even look for products. This shampoo doesn't feel like a treatment — it feels like a premium shampoo that happens to regrow your hair. Love it."
"Switched from Nioxin after 2 years of zero results. CU Shampoo in 10 weeks has done more than Nioxin did in 24 months. The caffeine + biotin + copper combination is clearly superior."
CU Shampoo — 1% GHK-Cu copper peptides. Sulfate-free. For all hair types. With a 30-day money-back guarantee.
