Why people use it
- 3% Copper Tripeptide-1. A potent concentration of copper peptide, a naturally occurring molecule that, like collagen, decreases with age. It serves as an important element of collagen synthesis and is a powerful anti-aging and regenerative molecule.
- Enhances collagen production. That is the manufacturer's first stated purpose for the serum: copper peptide with hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid to boost collagen production for radiant, glowing skin.
- Supports tissue hydration. Hyaluronic acid is vital for skin hydration and firmness, and this serum carries it in four forms: sodium hyaluronate, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, and sodium acetylated hyaluronate.
- Promotes youthful, healthy skin and reduces skin aging. The remaining two claims Formula IQ makes for the formula, stated in its own words.
- Nine ingredients, all named. Water, four hyaluronic acid forms, three peptides, and Leucidal (radish root). That is the whole label, as the manufacturer publishes it.
What's in the bottle

| Ingredient | As the manufacturer describes it |
|---|---|
| Water | The base of the serum. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate | Hyaluronic acid, which the manufacturer calls vital for skin hydration and firmness. |
| Copper Tripeptide-1 | Copper peptide at a potent 3% concentration. A naturally occurring molecule that, like collagen, decreases with age; an important element of collagen synthesis. |
| Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 | Two further peptides on the manufacturer's list. |
| Leucidal (Radish Root) | The final ingredient on the manufacturer's list. |
Ingredient list as published by Formula IQ. Size: 1 fl oz.
How to use
- This 3% copper peptide serum is best for non-sensitive skin as it can cause temporary irritation in very sensitive or acne prone skin.
- If irritation occurs, try adding a few drops to your favorite skin creams to decrease sensitivity.

The research behind the ingredients
Published research on the ingredients in this product, for education. These studies were not conducted on this product.
Copper Peptide (GHK-Cu)
Regenerative and Protective Actions of the GHK-Cu Peptide in the Light of the New Gene Data
International Journal of Molecular Sciences · 2018 · mechanistic review
This review reports that GHK-Cu increases collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin models and alters expression of a large share of human genes, and cites 12-week facial cream trials in which GHK-Cu improved collagen production in 70% of treated women and reduced measured wrinkle volume compared with control creams.
Sodium hyaluronate and other hyaluronic acid forms
Advantages of Hyaluronic Acid and Its Combination with Other Bioactive Ingredients in Cosmeceuticals
Molecules · 2021 · mechanistic review
This review reports that hyaluronic acid binds water up to 1,000 times its own volume, that high-molecular-weight forms hold moisture as a surface film while low-molecular-weight forms penetrate further, and cites topical work showing measurable improvement in periorbital wrinkles after 28 days with multi-molecular-weight formulas.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
International Journal of Toxicology · 2018 · mechanistic review
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review Expert Panel reviewed the published and industry data on these peptides, reported that they function as skin-conditioning agents, and concluded they are safe in cosmetics at present concentrations of use.
Evidence note: Strongest for GHK-Cu and hyaluronic acid on appearance outcomes: the copper peptide review cites 12-week facial cream trials with measured collagen and wrinkle-volume results, and the hyaluronic acid review cites topical work on periorbital wrinkles at 28 days. The palmitoyl peptides rest on an expert-panel assessment that characterises them as skin-conditioning agents. Each source studied the ingredients rather than this particular serum.
FAQ
Who makes this?
Formula IQ, Morley Robbins' line, where it is sold as Copper IQ Serum. We resell it as the manufacturer supplies it; the description, ingredient list, and cautions on this page are Formula IQ's.
How strong is the copper peptide?

What are copper peptides?
Copper peptide (Copper Tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring molecule that, like collagen, decreases with age. The manufacturer describes it as an important element of collagen synthesis and a powerful anti-aging and regenerative molecule.
Why hyaluronic acid?
The manufacturer's answer: hyaluronic acid is vital for skin hydration and firmness. This serum carries four forms of it, including hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
What if it stings?
The manufacturer's own answer: this 3% serum is best for non-sensitive skin, as it can cause temporary irritation in very sensitive or acne prone skin. If irritation occurs, try adding a few drops to your favorite skin creams to decrease sensitivity.
Pairs well with
- Whipped Tallow Lotion — a tallow balm if you want something heavier on the skin
- 100% Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides — the same story from the inside; pooled trials cover skin hydration and elasticity
- FIQ Recuperate (Copper & Boron) — copper you actually absorb, since a serum is not a route to it
Cautions
- This 3% copper peptide serum is best for non-sensitive skin as it can cause temporary irritation in very sensitive or acne prone skin. If irritation occurs, try adding a few drops to your favorite skin creams to decrease sensitivity.
- Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is optional. Best if used within 12 months of opening.
