What it is — Copper Tripeptide-1 (INCI: Copper Tripeptide-1) is a peptide — a short chain of amino acids used as a signal ingredient.

What it does — It is commonly used as a copper-bound tripeptide that signals hair follicle regeneration.

Typical use — It is used in serums, essences, creams and eye products marketed around firmness and a smoother-looking surface. Different peptides target different signals, and results tend to build gradually with consistent use.

Who it suits / good to know — Generally low-irritation and suitable for most skin types. Peptides are usually presented as gradual, supporting actives rather than quick fixes. Set realistic expectations: peptides are supporting players, not overnight transformers.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk in its EWG-style, ingredient-by-ingredient review. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.

How grades are set — Risk reflects our own reading of publicly available safety data, an EWG-style reading shown at the worst-case grade we've assigned this ingredient across products. It isn't a third party's proprietary score, and it isn't medical advice. Always read the packaging and patch-test where indicated.
