GHK-Cu and collagen synthesis in fibroblast cultures (1988)
Fibroblast cultures showed greater collagen synthesis after exposure to GHK-Cu, independently of changes in cell number. The experiment did not test a clinical skin outcome.

What is GHK-Cu?
GHK consists of three amino acids and can bind copper(II) ions to form GHK-Cu. Research has examined how this complex affects fibroblasts, the cells that produce connective-tissue components. A foundational culture study reported increased collagen synthesis without an increase in cell number. A later investigation compared GHK-Cu, hyaluronic acid and their combinations in fibroblasts and skin explants. Some combinations increased collagen IV measures more than either component alone. These experiments describe cellular and isolated-tissue responses; they did not measure wrinkle reduction or wound recovery in treated people.
Research context
- Collagen synthesis in fibroblasts
- Collagen IV in skin explants
- Interactions with hyaluronic acid

GHK-Cu, hyaluronic acid and collagen IV (2023)
Certain GHK-Cu–hyaluronic acid combinations increased collagen IV measures in fibroblasts and skin explants. The findings concern experimental mixtures and do not establish cosmetic effectiveness in people.
