Will Copper Peptides Save Your Skin From Aging? A Derm Says…
There’s a hot new ingredient in town. Copper peptides claim to help restore your skin’s youthful firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. In contrast to ingredients like retinol or vitamin C, copper peptides say they’re more gentle and won’t irritate the skin. But is it all hype?
E! spoke with Dr. Muneeb Shah, content creator, dermatologist, and founder of REMEDY skincare, to tell us everything he knows about this trending ingredient. His brand just announced its very own copper peptide serum, too. Retailing at $33, it’ll go on sale at Target and REMEDY’s website on July 24.
“Many copper peptide serums rely on a single peptide ingredient. We wanted to build a formula that supports skin from multiple angles,” Dr. Shah told E!.
Alongside the copper peptides, it’s infused with a blend of additional peptides and barrier-supporting ingredients. “The formula was designed to be effective while remaining gentle enough for daily use, making it easy to incorporate into almost any skincare routine.”
