What the researchers found
Topical copper tripeptide complex (GHK-Cu) significantly accelerated healing after CO2 laser resurfacing in a double-blind, vehicle-controlled RCT, with faster re-epithelialization and improved skin quality — clinical validation of GHK-Cu for post-procedure skin recovery.
Why it matters
Relevant for ghk-cu, skin-repair, wound-healing.
