What Is GHK-Cu Face Cream?

GHK-Cu Face Cream is a copper peptide-inspired moisturiser designed to fit into a daily cosmetic skincare routine. It is the richer moisture step that usually comes after cleanser and face serum.

In a CopperTheory routine, GHK-Cu Face Cream is designed to support hydrated-looking, softer-feeling and smoother-looking skin. It works especially well when paired with GHK-Cu Face Serum as part of a simple daily routine.

Why Use a GHK-Cu Face Cream?

Face cream is important because it helps complete your skincare routine. While a serum is usually lightweight and applied first, face cream gives the routine a moisturising finish.

A GHK-Cu Face Cream can fit into routines focused on daily hydration, comfort, softer-looking skin, smoother-looking skin and premium copper peptide-inspired skincare.

2 Soft skin feelFace cream helps complete the routine with a softer-feeling finish.
3 Smoother-looking skinPair face cream with serum and weekly mask care for a smoother-looking routine.
4 Routine completionUse face cream as the moisturising step after cleanser and face serum.

When Should You Use GHK-Cu Face Cream?

GHK-Cu Face Cream can be used as part of a morning or evening skincare routine, depending on your lifestyle and the product directions. The simplest routine order is cleanse first, apply serum, then follow with face cream.

During the day, sunscreen can be used after moisturiser if that is part of your routine. At night, face cream can be used as the final moisturising step after serum.
