Synonyms/Alias:AHK-Cu; AHK Copper；copper;(2S)-6-amino-2-[[(2S)-2-[(2S)-2-azanidylpropanoyl]azanidyl-3-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)propanoyl]amino]hexanoate;hydrochloride
Mechanism of Action (MOA)
Copper Tripeptide-3 is a signal peptide complex that interacts with cellular pathways involved in extracellular matrix maintenance. By delivering bioavailable copper ions, it supports enzymatic processes such as collagen and elastin synthesis. The peptide sequence facilitates cellular communication, modulating fibroblast activity and promoting balanced matrix protein turnover. This mechanism contributes to the maintenance of skin structure and resilience, aligning with pathways relevant to cosmetic skin care applications.
Copper Tripeptide-3 is suitable for incorporation into a variety of cosmetic formulations.
- Add to serums designed for daily facial care routines- Incorporate into lightweight emulsions and moisturizers- Use in leave-on masks and overnight treatments- Blend into eye contour creams and gels- Include in post-cleansing toners or essences- Formulate within targeted spot treatments
