What is PEDS?

Description 

Complex 16 combines GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1), Matrixyl 3000™, and CICA (Centella Asiatica extract) which may promote visible improvements in skin density, firmness, elasticity, and barrier resilience. GHK-Cu has been shown to support collagen and elastin synthesis along with antioxidant protection, Matrixyl 3000™ may enhance collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and CICA delivers calming properties that may contribute to overall skin comfort.

Our PEDS™ (Phyto-Exosome Delivery Shield™) 

• Bio-Active Nanovesicles: Utilizing advanced plant-derived exosome technology to encapsulate and "shuttle" Copper Tripeptide-1 (GHK-Cu) and Matrixyl 3000 through the skin’s lipid barrier. This delivery system ensures these potent peptides effectively reach the skin's surface for targeted support of a youthful-looking complexion.
• Targeted Delivery & Surface Renewal: Engineered to optimize the absorption of Centella Asiatica and Blue-Green Algae, delivering specific signals that help the skin appear firmer and more resilient. This process visibly smooths the look of fine lines and expression lines while restoring the appearance of skin density and elasticity.
• Molecular Protection & Barrier Support: Provides a protective lipid-matrix "shield" that stabilizes the Hyaluronic Acid complex and Arginine AKG, maintaining molecular integrity for maximum efficacy. This shield reinforces the skin’s natural moisture barrier, helping to retain deep hydration and promoting an overall smoother, softer, and more radiant skin texture.

Micro-batched and PEDS™ activated within 24 hours of dispatch to ensure peak molecular integrity.

Why isn't it dark blue?

Unlike brands that use artificial dyes (like Blue 1) to mimic potency, our serum reflects the natural, sky-blue hue of pure Copper Peptides. The result is a clean, translucent azure—proof of a high-purity formula without unnecessary fillers or colorants
