The Abdulghani study directly compared a topical copper peptide to tretinoin and found superior tolerability with comparable or greater collagen improvements
Dihexa acts as an analog of angiotensin IV, a compound known to stimulate brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)
By utilising non-traditional antimicrobial mechanisms like ROS generation and pH/enzyme-triggered release, these multifunctional platforms not only modulate dysbiosis and disrupt resilient biofilms, but they also achieve up to 90% wound closure in preclinical models
Copper peptides can be found in creams, serums, scalp products, tablets, and clinical-use preparations
These side effects are typically temporary and may vary depending on dosage and individual sensitivities
