Copper Gluconate
active
General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
active
Copper's loose-salt form — more bioavailable than copper peptides for general antioxidant work, and the cofactor your skin's superoxide dismutase enzyme needs to do its job.
peptide
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that can signal skin cells to produce more collagen and elastin. The category is broad and evidence quality varies dramatically — some peptides (like Matrixyl) have decent clinical data, while many others are supported by little more than in vitro studies and marketing enthusiasm.
