GHK-Cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide that has been studied for its role in skin structure, collagen and elastin support, hair, and tissue support. It's used in both topical formulations and, in some clinical settings, injectable forms.
At Revi, GHK-Cu is considered within the context of your labs, skin and hair goals, and overall plan — alongside the other approaches covered on our Skin, Hair & Aging page — rather than offered as a standalone default.
GHK-Cu is not FDA-approved as a prescription drug for general use. In clinical practice, injectable forms are dispensed through licensed compounding pharmacies based on patient-specific provider prescriptions, and any use should be supervised by a qualified healthcare provider after review of your full medical history. Your provider will discuss what's known, what isn't, and whether it's appropriate for your case during your consultation.
