Copper peptides and vitamin C do different jobs in skincare. Copper peptides boost collagen and elastin to firm skin, while vitamin C protects against UV and free radicals. Use vitamin C in the morning and copper peptides at night, but skip combining copper peptides with retinol.
Newsflash. Copper peptides, they don't replace your vitamin C. And here people are acting like they've discovered the newest and greatest incised bread they've been around for a while. So what exactly do copper peptides do? Well, unlike vitamin C, they help to produce collagen and elastin, firming your skin tone, minimizing the appearance of your fine lines and evening out your skin tone in the process. Not bad. But they don't. Unlike vitamin C, which protects. It protects from the UV damage, it protects from the pollution, it protects from all the free radical damage being being created on a daily basis every single day that you are living in a city with potholes and exhaust and smoke coming everywhere. Plus, vitamin C makes your sunscreen work better for you. Now, who doesn't want that? So what do we do? We use vitamin C in the morning, copper peptides at night, but we also need the copper peptides with the retinol, making sure not to use them together because they might be more irritable on your skin.
