Anti-Ageing Peptide Complex
Featuring two anti-ageing peptides that boost the visible youth-renewing results of Copper PCA Peptides.
Hydrating and Smoothing
The creamy formula sinks in rapidly; leaving skin feeling incredibly silky, hydrated and smooth.
Vitamin C Alternative
Copper PCA is our alternative to vitamin C in a Medik8 CSA routine, if you have sensitivities to vitamin C or want a pure antioxidant product to use first thing in the morning.
HOW IT WORKS
The skin has a natural antioxidant defence system that combats free radicals from the environment. But when free radicals overwhelm the skin’s natural antioxidant system, the skin cannot protect itself. Free radicals are able to react with skin cells to cause damage, which ultimately leads to visible signs of premature ageing.
Copper PCA Peptides' antioxidant blend mimics the body’s natural free radical defence system. A patented complex of copper PCA, dimethylmethoxy chromanol, vitamin E and superoxide dismutase provide broad spectrum antioxidant protection against a huge range of potentially damaging free radicals.
Potent anti-ageing twin peptides help to reduce the visible signs of ageing for a firmer complexion, while helping to strengthen the skin’s natural defence mechanisms.
Copper PCA Peptides' striking dual-chamber packaging is actually the key to its stability. It separates blue copper PCA from white dimethylmethoxy chromanol, preventing them from merging too early and deactivating themselves. This leaves ultimate potency in the formula when they are finally mixed and applied to the skin.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND
“An incredible result of Medik8’s original research, copper PCA is a groundbreaking antioxidant that boasts broad spectrum protection against a wide range of free radicals. Copper PCA Peptides was independently tested for antioxidant activity and was found to be 5 times more effective than the next leading brand.* Medik8 only uses the most active, chirally correct form of copper PCA for the optimal antioxidant performance.”
