Glow Stack
GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)
Known as the "regenerative peptide," GHK-Cu is naturally occurring in human plasma and is widely studied for its anti-aging properties.
Skin Benefits:
- Anti-Aging: Stimulates collagen and elastin synthesis, which increases skin firmness, density, and elasticity while reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
- Repair & Protection: Accelerates wound healing, repairs the skin barrier, and provides antioxidant defense against UV radiation and free radicals.
- Tone & Texture: Improves skin clarity, reduces mottled hyperpigmentation, and smooths rough skin texture.
Hair Benefits:
- Follicle Stimulation: Increases hair follicle size and encourages dormant follicles to re-enter the active growth phase (anagen).
- Density & Strength: Thickens existing hair shafts and improves overall hair density by enhancing scalp circulation and nutrient delivery.
AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3)
AHK-Cu is a synthetic variant closely related to GHK-Cu but is often specifically targeted toward hair restoration and scalp health.
Skin Benefits:
- Collagen Support: Like GHK-Cu, it stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, helping to firm the skin and reduce fine lines.
- Healing: Enhances the skin's natural healing process and can be used to treat inflammatory conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
Hair Benefits:
- Growth Cycle Extension: Primarily used to extend the hair growth phase and prevent premature shedding.
- DHT Blocking: Some research suggests it may help block DHT (dihydrotestosterone), a primary hormone responsible for hair thinning.
- Scalp Health: Improves blood flow to hair follicles through angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation).
Melanotan 2
Melanotan 2 is a synthetic analog of the alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) primarily used for its tanning and pigment-altering effects.
Skin Benefits:
- Increased Pigmentation: Stimulates melanocytes to produce more melanin, resulting in a darker skin tan with minimal UV exposure.
- UV Protection: By increasing melanin, it provides a degree of natural photoprotection, potentially reducing the risk of sunburn.
Hair Benefits:
- Pigmentation: Because α-MSH receptors also play a role in hair color, Melanotan 2 can increase the production of melanin in hair follicles, potentially darkening hair color.
