This is not true for all types of hair loss and needs a specific concentration, but might be something to keep in mind if you suffer from a condition that goes along with excessive facial hair growth. I want to point out however that you can react with rashes to every product, it depends on your skin.Ĭopper Peptides have shown to stimulate the hair follicle in the same way that they stimulate other dermal cells, which is why they can be used to promote hair growth in certain cases. Some people have reacted with rashes to products containing copper peptides, and if that occurs, of course stop using them immediately. I think the key is „too much“ and „overuse“ here, if you stick to the recommended time and dosage, which for The Ordinary Copper Peptides + Buffet is a few drops morning and night. Theoretically, too much copper can trigger the production of metalloproteinases, which are enzymes that break down collagen. Which is, strangely enough, exactly what we want to combat with using them in the first place. There are studies that show that ingestion of too many copper peptides can lead to nausea and diarrhea, but that should really not be a problem with them in skincare.īut as studies aren’t t everything, I wanted to share anecdotal reports of side effects that can be found: There are no studies documenting severe side effects when copper peptides in skincare are used as advised by the manufacturer. If a peptide binds to copper, you get a copper peptide.Ĭopper peptides work in increasing collagen production, so they do some extra work in firming your skin.Īre there downsides to using Copper Peptides? ![]() Some peptides have a so called metal affinity, which means translated that they bind really tightly to copper, when exposed to it. The ones that are used in anti-aging skincare usually increase collagen production for firmness or help with hydration. These peptides can do different thing, for example inhibit or stimulate enzymes, improve wound healing and act as cell transmitter. I am not going to go too much in depth, as I have another blogpost on peptides and what they are that you can read here, but in short, peptides are proteins made up of aminoacids. And of course I summed it all up in a video for you, just in case you can’t be bothered reading. ![]() I couldn´t however do that without talking a little bit about Peptides in skincare in general and Copper Peptides in particular first, as this is the main difference between the two. The Ordinary “Buffet” vs The Ordinary “Buffet” + Copper Peptides 1% – Which one is better? Well, if that was your comment, you should stop reading right now, because today I am going to compare the original The Ordinary “Buffet” Serum to the “Buffet” + Copper Peptide 1% on and tell you which one is better! The original “Buffet” is so good already, if this one is even better, I know that I simply must buy it, and it is double the price!” I had a comment on the video where I showed The Ordinary „Buffet“ + Copper Peptides 1% for the first time that pretty much summed up why I had put off buying it for so long: „I don’t want to try this one.
