Active peptide concentration

3% Copper Tripeptide-1 (Copper GHK)

What is FIQ Copper IQ Cream?

It's a topical moisturizer and serum hybrid built around a high, 3% concentration of copper peptide, known as copper tripeptide-1 or GHK-Cu, designed to support skin healing, collagen production, and a more even, youthful appearance.

What does copper peptide do for skin?

Copper tripeptide-1 is a natural component of connective tissue, and the body's own production of it decreases by about 60% with age. Applied topically, it's shown in studies to support wound healing, nerve regeneration, blood vessel and capillary growth, and collagen synthesis, which together help improve tissue remodeling, skin texture, wrinkles, and discoloration.

Why is 3% considered a high concentration?

The brand describes 3% as the highest and most potent concentration commonly used, and research suggests this level provides optimal benefit while remaining well tolerated. Higher concentrations, or applying pure copper peptide directly, can cause skin sensitivities.

Why isn't the cream more visibly blue, if copper peptide is naturally a deep blue color?

Pure copper peptide is a rich cobalt blue, but since it only makes up 3% of the full formula, the overall cream appears as a very light, faint blue rather than a strong blue color.

What's the suggested use?

Apply topically to the skin once daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Does using this cream raise copper levels in the rest of the body?

No. Topical copper peptide works locally on the skin and isn't absorbed into general circulation, so it doesn't function the same way an oral copper supplement would. It does, however, locally increase available copper right at the skin's surface.

Who might use this product?

Anyone looking for a straightforward daily skincare step to support moisture, skin clarity, elasticity, and a more youthful appearance, as well as those wanting support with wound healing or reducing the look of scarring and stretch marks. The brand markets it as suitable for all skin types.

Is this tested on animals?

No, it's cruelty free and never tested on animals.

Are there any precautions?

As with any new skincare product, it's worth doing a small patch test first if you have particularly sensitive or reactive skin. If pregnant, nursing, or managing a skin condition, it's worth checking with a healthcare or dermatology professional before adding a new active ingredient to your routine.

How should it be stored?

Store in a cool, dry place, and don't use if the safety seal is broken or missing. Keep out of reach of children.
