Copper Peptide therapy is one of the hottest anti-aging topics today, especially the third generation GHK Copper Peptides.

Their list of benefits are seemingly endless. In theory, they also sound great for rosacea.

Here is a sound bite from Neova's GHK Copper Peptide Complex:

Discover an anti-aging solution based on science. Neova Copper Peptide Therapy helps promote visibly healthier, younger looking skin.

Studies have proven that copper is essential for collagen and elastin in the skin. And it is also important to tissue building processes.

Why is Copper Important for Healthy Skin?

As we age, our skin thins, and lines and wrinkles develop as our bodies become slower to produce collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs are the cement that bonds tissue components together). Age spots appear and skin becomes dull and lifeless as cell renewal slows and the skin retains less moisture.

Scientific studies have demonstrated that copper plays a fundamental role in skin health, by helping restore the skin's ability to repair itself. Copper is a powerful collagen and elastin promoter and plays an antioxidative role in the body. Plus it's important in the production of GAGs. What's more, copper-dependent enzymes increase the benefits of natural tissue building processes.

Neova Therapy's patented GHK Copper Peptide Complex micronutrition helps revive dull, lifeless skin, remedy the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and restore moisture and firmness.

GHK Copper Peptides for Rosacea?

Not this strong. Please be cautious. The newer clinical strength GHK Copper Peptide Complex make many rosacea sufferers flare. There is even a warning by Dr. Pickart of Skin Biology on the use of these Peptides (that she developed) on sensitive skin.

This should be great for under the eyes and around the sides of the eyes for anti-aging, but I would stop right there.

You may actually get good results from OTC Neutrogena and their Copper complex as the cream and lotion have much lower concentrations than the clinical strength Copper complexes in Neova and Skin Biology. Just procede with caution as this is one ingredient that is excellent for rosacea skin "in theory", but not "in practice".
