GHK-Cu: do changes in cells prove a visible change in skin?
The summary describes laboratory cells and evidence mainly from application to the skin.
What did they want to find out?
They wanted to know whether measurements related to proteins that give skin its structure changed in skin cells.
What does this example say?
The example says measurements related to those skin proteins increased in laboratory models.
What does this mean for you?
A change in laboratory cells does not prove that a person's skin will look or feel better.
What we still do not know
This example is unverified. Information about skin application or cells does not demonstrate results for an injectable mixture.
