Application
ActiTide-CP is a complex of glycyl histidine tripeptide (GHK) and copper. Its aqueous solution is blue.
ActiTide-CP effectively stimulates the synthesis of key skin proteins such as collagen and elastin in fibroblasts, and promotes the generation and accumulation of specific glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and small molecular proteoglycans.
By enhancing the functional activity of fibroblasts and promoting the production of glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, ActiTide-CP can achieve the effects of repairing and remodeling aging skin structures.
ActiTide-CP not only stimulates the activity of various matrix metalloproteinases but also enhances the activity of antiproteinases (which promote the breakdown of extracellular matrix proteins). By regulating metalloproteinases and their inhibitors (antiproteinases), ActiTide-CP maintains a balance between matrix degradation and synthesis, supporting skin regeneration and improving its aging appearance.
Uses:
1)Avoid using with acidic substances (such as alpha hydroxy acids, retinoic acid, and high concentrations of water-soluble L-ascorbic acid). Caprylhydroxamic acid should not be used as a preservative in ActiTide-CP formulations.
2)Avoid ingredients that may form complexes with Cu ions. Carnosine has a similar structure and can compete with ions, changing the solution’s color to purple.
3)EDTA is used in formulations to remove trace heavy metal ions, but it can capture copper ions from ActiTide-CP, changing the solution’s color to green.
4)Maintain a pH around 7 at temperatures below 40°C, and add the ActiTide-CP solution in the final step. pH that is too low or too high can lead to the decomposition and discoloration of ActiTide-CP.
