GHK-Cu Hair & Scalp Serum spray bottle resting in rippled blue serum

About this serum

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Hair & Scalp Serum is a high-strength leave-on scalp formula built around GHK-Cu, known in cosmetics as Copper Tripeptide-1.

Each 60 mL (2 oz) bottle is formulated to a labeled strength of 2,400 mg GHK-Cu at 4% in a simple distilled-water base.

The formula is designed for direct scalp application rather than coating the lengths of your hair. Its water-light texture absorbs without the greasy feel of many scalp oils, and the blue color comes from the copper peptide itself.

What is GHK-Cu?

GHK-Cu is the copper-bound form of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys. In cosmetic terminology it is commonly associated with Copper Tripeptide-1.

The broader research literature has investigated GHK-Cu in relation to extracellular-matrix biology, tissue signaling and skin biology. Hair-specific research is newer and much less extensive.

Reading the label: 2,400 mg at 4%

Defined strength. Each 60 mL bottle is formulated to contain 2,400 mg of GHK-Cu at 4%.

Simple vehicle. The formula uses distilled water as the base instead of oils, fragrance or a long list of supporting actives.

Recent lot testing. A recent Qalitex-tested lot (DK25-CPH1-9) measured 2,533 mg GHK-Cu by HPLC against a specification of 2,400 mg per bottle. That result applies to the tested lot; the labeled strength stays 2,400 mg.

Limitations

GHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide studied across skin, tissue and emerging hair-related research. Hair-specific human evidence is still limited.

A small randomized 2026 study tested a different 2% topical GHK-Cu serum on the eyebrows of 18 adults for 12 weeks and reported improvements in eyebrow hair count and diameter. That is useful human evidence, but it did not test scalp hair or this 4% formula.

A separate human study evaluated GHK together with 5-aminolevulinic acid in men who have pattern hair loss. Because that was a combination treatment, the findings cannot be attributed to GHK alone or transferred directly to this finished serum. PubMed

Another frequently cited copper-peptide hair study tested AHK-Cu, not GHK-Cu. It found hair-follicle elongation ex vivo and dermal papilla effects in vitro, but AHK-Cu is a different peptide and that study was not a human clinical trial of this product. PubMed

Ingredient research can explain why GHK-Cu is of interest, but it does not prove that this finished serum will produce a specific amount of hair growth. This serum is made to support the appearance of fuller, healthier-looking hair and a conditioned scalp. It is a cosmetic, not a treatment for androgenetic alopecia or another medical cause of hair loss.

What GHK-Cu is

A short guide to the one active in the bottle.

  1. 01

    GHK-Cu is the copper-bound form of the tripeptide Gly-His-Lys: glycine, histidine and lysine holding a copper ion. The copper is why the serum is blue.

  2. 02

    GHK-Cu occurs naturally in the body. Research has looked at its role in extracellular-matrix biology, tissue signaling and skin, and it is also the active in our face creams.

  3. 03

    Hair research is newer. A small 2026 study found a 2% GHK-Cu serum may support the look of eyebrow hair over 12 weeks.

What the first 12 weeks look like

What you will notice first, when your hair starts to look different, and when you will need a second bottle.

  1. Day 1

    Water-light, with no residue

    With only GHK-Cu and distilled water inside, the mist is as thin as water and dries without an oily film, so your hair does not look greasy afterwards. Take a daylight photo of your part or crown today, before the first spray.

    “I appreciate it not leaving any residue.” Heather M.

  2. Weeks 1 to 4

    Your scalp feels it first

    The first change customers describe is on the scalp, which feels less dry and more comfortable after a few weeks of daily use. One application a day is the whole routine, so it is easy to keep up.

    “After just 30 days of using it once a day, my hair and scalp already look and feel healthier.” Anthony M.

  3. Weeks 5 to 8

    Fuller-looking where you spray

    In the second month customers start describing hair that looks and feels fuller where they spray, most often at the part and temples. Put a new photo next to your Day 1 shot, because side by side shows what the mirror misses.

    “It makes my hair feel fuller.” Lori D.

  4. Weeks 9 to 12

    Bottle two, and a fair comparison

    At once a day, your first bottle runs out around week 8, so by now you are on your second. Several customers say the difference became clear around the three-month mark, so take your week-12 photo in the same light and compare it with Day 1.

    “A product that actually begins to show results at 3 month mark.” Sean W.

Quotes are from verified customer reviews and describe individual experiences, not a clinical study. Results vary. This is a cosmetic product, not a hair-loss treatment.

A simple once-daily scalp routine

Use it once a day, morning or evening. Consistency matters more than the time of day.

Spraying GHK-Cu Hair & Scalp Serum along the hairline01 · Clean, dry scalp

Spray onto the scalp

Part your hair so the serum reaches the scalp rather than the lengths. Apply a few sprays to the areas where hair looks thinner or less full. If your hair is fine or gets oily quickly, start with fewer sprays.

Fingertips massaging the serum into the scalp02 · 30 to 60 seconds

Massage it in

Use your fingertips to spread the serum across the area for 30 to 60 seconds, so it stays on the scalp instead of running down. Gentle pressure is enough.

Holding the GHK-Cu Hair & Scalp Serum bottle beside the hair03 · Every day

Leave it on

It is a leave-on serum, so there is no need to rinse. Let it absorb before you apply styling products, then repeat the next day.

A temporary blue tint

The serum is deeply colored and can leave a temporary blue mark on the scalp or on very light, white or silver hair. Spray at the scalp rather than along the lengths, let it absorb fully before contact with light fabrics, and any tint washes out with your next shampoo.

With other scalp products

Let it absorb before you add styling products. If you use minoxidil, exfoliating acids, retinoids or a medicated scalp product, introduce one new product at a time so it is easier to tell what your scalp tolerates.

Sensitive scalp

Patch test first if your scalp is sensitive. Apply to intact scalp only, avoid the eyes, and stop if burning, swelling, a rash or irritation persists.

    Good but does leave a mark

    I will likely continue to use this product but I only use it at night as it does leave a blue mark on scalp temporarily.

Individual results vary. These are customer experiences, not a clinical study.

Questions we hear most often

GHK-Cu is being studied for hair-related cosmetic uses, and this serum is made to support fuller-looking, healthier-looking hair. Human scalp-hair evidence is still limited: a small 2026 study reported higher eyebrow hair count and diameter with a different 2% GHK-Cu serum over 12 weeks. See the Lab results chapter for the research.

That has not been shown for this finished serum in a controlled human clinical trial. Some ingredient-level research is encouraging, but it is a cosmetic made to support the appearance of fuller hair, not a regrowth treatment.

The serum is designed to support the appearance of thicker, fuller-looking hair over time. Customer experiences vary, and there is no guaranteed amount of change.

Give it weeks rather than days. Hair changes slowly, so 8 to 12 weeks of daily use is a practical window to assess how your hair looks. There is no clinically established timeline for this product.

Apply a few sprays directly to a clean, dry scalp, focusing on areas where hair looks thinner. Massage gently, let it absorb and leave it on. Follow the product label for the amount and frequency.

Use it on a dry scalp, which makes it easier to place the serum where you want it without diluting it with water.

Yes. It is a leave-on scalp serum and does not need to be rinsed off.

No. Let the serum absorb and continue with your normal hair routine.

Either works. For a once-daily serum, using it consistently matters more than the time of day.

Once a day, as the product directions say. Using it more often is not automatically better. At that rate one 60 mL (2 oz) bottle lasts about 60 days, depending on how much you spray.

Like any topical product, it can cause local sensitivity in some people, such as redness, itching, irritation, burning or discomfort. Patch test first if your scalp is sensitive, and stop using it if a reaction persists.

Anyone with a known sensitivity to either ingredient. Do not apply it to broken or inflamed skin. Sudden, severe, patchy or progressive hair loss should be checked by a doctor, because cosmetic scalp products do not address every cause of hair loss.

There is no universal list. The practical concern is irritation. If you use minoxidil, exfoliating acids, retinoids or medicated scalp treatments, introduce one product at a time so it is easier to tell what your scalp tolerates. If you use a prescription treatment, ask your clinician how to combine them.

No. GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu are different copper-binding peptides, and research on one should not be attributed to the other. To use both, see the AHK-Cu + GHK-Cu Hair Serum Pro.

The blue color comes from the copper peptide itself. There is no added dye.

It can leave a temporary blue mark. The serum is water-based and designed to absorb into the scalp, but some customers see a tint on the scalp or on very light, white or silver hair. Apply a modest amount, spray at the scalp rather than the lengths and let it absorb fully before contact with light fabrics. Any tint washes out with shampoo.

Yes. A recent Qalitex certificate for lot DK25-CPH1-9 documented GHK-Cu potency plus heavy-metal and microbiological testing. The report is linked in the Lab results chapter.
