I’ve been using the Buffet with copper peptides by the ordinary and I swear that stuff is magic. I’m in my 30s and it just makes my skin look so great. I ran out for a while and my skin started to look dull, and then I started to use it again and my skin was looking great again in a few days.

I just want to say that I appreciate the clinical info that is included because there are plenty of sources with simplified language. I love finding out from you two how to research this better

Im shocked that there was no discussion on the delicacy of these peptides. 10:37 the guys banging it on the table. I mean ok, probably not that bad realistifcally especially compared to shaking it but people peptides are fragile and even more after being mixed with a solution.

And they should always be stored in the fridge after being mixed (freezer before).

The stability of GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) in solution at room temperature can vary depending on several factors, including the composition of the solution, the concentration of GHK-Cu, the presence of other ingredients or contaminants, and the specific storage conditions (such as light exposure and container material). GHK-Cu is a complex of the peptide GHK (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine) and copper ions.

GHK-Cu, or copper tripeptide-1, is generally considered to be moderately stable, but like many peptides,

its stability can be influenced by various factors. The stability of GHK-Cu is crucial in its effectiveness, especially in biomedical and cosmetic applications where it is valued for its skin regeneration, wound healing, and anti-aging properties.

Factors influencing the stability of GHK-Cu include:

pH Levels: The stability of GHK-Cu can be affected by the pH of the solution it is in. It tends to be more stable in neutral to slightly acidic pH levels.

Temperature: Higher temperatures can lead to faster degradation of peptides, including GHK-Cu. Therefore, it is often recommended to store GHK-Cu solutions in a cool environment, preferably refrigerated, to maintain their stability.

Light and Oxygen Exposure:
Exposure to light, particularly UV light, and oxygen can lead to oxidation and degradation of peptides. GHK-Cu solutions should be stored in airtight containers that are opaque or light-resistant to minimize this risk.

Concentration and Formulation:
The concentration of GHK-Cu and the presence of other ingredients in a formulation can also affect its stability. Formulators need to consider interactions with other components of the product.

Container Material:
The material of the container in which GHK-Cu is stored can influence its stability. Containers that do not react with copper or the peptide, such as glass or certain plastics, are preferable.

Handling and Storage:
Proper handling and storage are crucial for maintaining the stability of GHK-Cu. This includes minimizing exposure to air, light, and heat, and using clean, non-reactive equipment.

In practical terms, these factors mean that GHK-Cu, when used in cosmetic or pharmaceutical products, often requires careful formulation and packaging to ensure its stability and efficacy over the lifespan of the product. Manufacturers typically provide specific storage instructions and shelf life information based on their formulation and testing.

The instructions and box should 100% have this highlighted.

I finally got around to starting a skincare regimen a few months ago. Had "The Buffet with copper peptides" on my wishlist. In the meantime, had gotten a little bottle of the Biossance one with my points at Sephora. I tend to sometimes be sensitive to random things and this turned out to be one of them? Unfortunately broke me out. I then went ahead and got the one from The Ordinary and thankfully haven't had any problems.

Thanks for introducing me to Biossance. I’ve ordered several products from them as a result…. and now the Doctorly bundle (which dupes some of my precious purchases, but that’s not a problem!)

[dashapanfilova]

So where/how would I fit copper peptides in my routine if I’m already using vit c every morning and retinol every night? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[shawntakada]

Thanks for Biossance recommendations! Love their products… and they are so very generous with the samples!

[lucydeboxer]

Love you guys! I realize this is a sponsored video, but am surprised you didn't mention The Ordinary's "Buffet with Copper Peptides." I've used it for the past two years and think it's a great product. And, less than half the price of the Biossance product.

[delimelone]

I love the TO Buffet + Copper Peptides. I apply it in the evening and when I wake up the next morning my skin is so nice and plump looking. Plus it really helped me with hyperpigmentation from acne. I think it's a really nice addition to my usual skincare routine.

Hey hey!!! I just want to drop you two a big big thank you!!! About 3 weeks ago I found your channel, then started to use lactic acid, salicylic mask & some retinol, they worked so well on my skin 😭😭😭 my black heads are visibility gone, I’ve had them for my entire life since teen!!! My skin became so smooth and clear 😭😭😭❤️❤️Now in my 30s my skin feels the best in my entire life!!! The products I used in just three weeks, are working so well than all the high end products I used before🙏🙏🙏 I watched the skin care tips video from you two, really learnt which ingredient works for the things I want to target.. having a clear skin really makes me so confident… You two are real gems 💎 also your video makes me happy! 😊😊 thank you so much!!!

[deeeactivateddddcos]

Thank you guys for actually healing my skin and not just curing my acne.

[jessicahigdon]

Can you use it in your Night routine if you use a Retinol? Thanks for the information.

[adamprinciple]

Vitamin C would be better to apply in the morning as it helps protect against sun damage. GHK-CU at night for building collagen

[hollysullivan]

Thoughts on The Ordinary copper peptide serum?

[khalilahd.]

I absolutely love you guys! You’ve definitely saved me from spending money on things that don’t work and I was actually looking into copper peptides recently so perfect timing! ☺️💜

[At-jy]

Would you be so kind to do a podcast for 65 and older women. Also give advise on affordable options that work. Thank you in advance.
Love all the info you sent our way. Love the relaxed and funny way you bring the info.

[YAYAREA]

Great video! I’m really curious to see if you two had an opinion on CoQ10 in skincare ingredients.

[maryelmore]

I got a mini of the copper peptide Serum with a Sephora order recently and I am really liking it. I'm glad that you guys approved because now I feel like I can get some more!

[tanaayotte]

This is off topic but how do you feel about all the Collagen powder supplements? Do they help in your opinion because I want to know if I'm wasting my money or not on this product.

[reganszczepanowska]

Thank you for yet another incredibly informative and fun video… Would you guys be willing to speak about matrixyl and matrixyl 3000.?
