I want to add copper peptides to my skincare routine. Do you have any suggestions as to a specific brand? When do you use it morning or night? Are there any ingredients it shouldn't be used with such as retinol or AHA?

Thanks for your help!

I use NCN copper peptide. I use it at night and it should not be mixed with C. Or, apply C and wait a really long time to apply the copper. Whichever brand you decide be sure it is first generation copper peptide. If you Google you'll find lots of info.

The leading expert on Copper and skincare is a Dr Pickart and his website is loaded with great information. He does make a copper product called SuperCop2X which I have read great reviews on. You will find more than you probably ever wanted to find on Pickart's site but you'll know what to look for and what to not combine it with once you are done.

I was planning on adding NCN's Copper serum in my next order but am going to take a closer look at SuperCop2X also.

I was reading about Copper last night on the Truth-in-Aging website and it was most interesting. I'm a bit surprised that more don't use Copper products as studies have definitely documented it's anti-aging ability on the skin.. Isomers Copper was briefly mentioned but somewhat dismissed for it's formula and effectiveness. They didn't elaborate much about it.

I have Isomers copper p. I am mostly using it cocktailed with their h-pur on my body. I did ask them routine suggestions a while back and they suggested vitamin c in the AM and copper at night. I am not sure if they are not supposed to be used together or not. I would ask whatever company you go with if there is anything it should not be used with.

May I ask what results you have had with the NCN copper peptide? And how long have you been using it? I have been looking at her website at the copper peptide and have contacted her a couple of times trying to get recommendations but she has not answered back.

NCN is moving its headquarters some time now at the end of March and I'm guessing things might be a little frantic.

Copper and Vitamin C don't play well together so they are definitely not to be used at the same time, better one for AM and other for PM. As I recall, copper makes Vit C ineffective so you are wasting any c applied if you also use copper.

I also use NCN and love it! I use mine in the morning but alternate it with the Vitamin C. I swear my skin glows, and that has never happened before. It is hard to explain, but my skin definitely looks better. My fine lines are not as pronounced and my skin seems to have tightened up a bit. My neck lines are also not as pronounced. I am 42 and have had a hard time finding products that work without irritating my skin, and so far NCN products have been awesome. Nanci also recommends taking 1000mg of MSM as well as 1000 mg. Vitamin C to help the copper, which I do. I hope you like it as much as I do.

I've used the SuperCop product. It definitely has an effect. If you go with copper peptides, plz do your research on the awkward period. There is one with copper peptides just like with Retin A.

That's because, as you know, copper peptides' purpose is to break down old stiff oxidized and damaged collagen in your skin. It also helps your skin turn over old scar tissue. But that means you can get layers of discoloration and scar showing up on your skin as it surfaces and cycles out. Just be aware and follow the advice of the people who got through those stages.

I was at Nordstroms recently to purchase some Armani liquid foundation. The sales consultant told me about the Osmotics brand of skincare and that the Osmotics representive was coming to their store to demonstrate the products. She went on and on about the copper products and when used with a red light produced amazing results. I did not make an appointment as I knew nothing of this line. Has anyone tried this skincare line?
