In the cosmetics industry, copper peptides are primarily incorporated into products designed for anti-aging, firming, repair, and soothing—such as serums, creams, eye creams, and facial masks. Due to their high raw material cost (approximately 100,000 to 200,000 RMB per kilogram) and the strict requirements of their formulation systems, copper peptide products are typically positioned within the mid-to-high-end or professional-grade skincare segments. To enhance their stability and skin penetration, modern formulations frequently utilize techniques such as liposomal encapsulation, nanocarrier delivery, or presentation in the form of lyophilized powder.
In the medical field, copper peptides have been developed into topical gels or solutions for the treatment of chronic, non-healing wounds (such as diabetic foot ulcers). In the realm of medical aesthetics, they frequently serve as post-procedure repair agents, utilized to alleviate redness, swelling, and discomfort following treatments such as laser therapy or microneedling, thereby accelerating skin recovery. Furthermore, hair growth products containing copper peptides are also beginning to gain prominence in clinical dermatological applications.
