Clear Skincare : Copper Peptides

When I started using CP's 18 months ago at age 45 I had both cystic acne and skin changes related to aging and sun-exposure. It did take some experimentation for me to learn the proper application for me; and yes it is possible to irritate your skin with these products, especially in the beginning. Over time a tolerance develops and irritation is no longer a concern. I would say that in my case I had about a month of MORE acne than usual followed by a rapid clearing and fading of old discolorations which continues. My skin looks better than it has in years. It's neither dry nor oily; the little wrinkles around my eyes are softening. I no longer use benzoyl peroxide products, except in rare instances of a pimple. Nothing like the face-full I used to have. I should add that I combined my CP use with a mild 40% lactic acid peel every 14 days or so. Lately I've increased the peels to weekly: once your skin is acclimated to peeling this really helps, it allows the peptides to really

From what I've read you need to combine this with a good peel for it to work. I didn't want to use peels since I have sensitve skin so I combine regular Super CP serum with microdermabrasion. The results have been impressive. My skin noticably looked smoother within two weeks of the second microderm treatment. I've tried needling, TCA cross, and this has been the best besides laser treatments, but a lot cheaper!

If you have mild scarring, this product is a God-sent!

I believe that CP along with consistent work, will be able to remove the damages and scars on my face!

I do recommend the copper peptides but you must, must, must, go slowly or your skin will be irritated!!!!!!!! I recommend putting it on your skin only once a week. Frequent application risks hurting your skin.

This is a very inexpensive way to encourage the healing of acne scarring. It is based on activating the skin's natural wound healing response which is an important factor in removing scarring. When combined with other procedures such as chemical peels and laser resurfacing, the results are superior than when either procedure is performed alone. Scientific evidence does suggest copper peptides (CPs) can heal scars on their own, but combining it with other procedures provides a "synergistic effect." While the other treatments remove damaged tissue and scars, CPs promote the growth of healthy, unblemished skin. My results so far with CPs and chemical peels have been very promising, and I believe that the CPs have given quicker results. Dr. Loren Pickart formulates very potent CPs and has a very useful website which presents the evidence of CP's efficacy and how it relates to skin-remodeling.

Highly recommended, particularly for people out of their 20s. (I'm 40 with combo skin). While I bought it to help clear cystic acne, it has done other great things for my skin; it looks and feels much better. It is amazing to see old red marks I've had for years dry up and peel away. Plus, the last five years have vanished off my face -- serveral friends have commented on it. I use with BP and still don't get dry, red, rough skin. One caveat: most OTC moisturizers have an immediate "plumping" effect. This does not, so you really have to stick with it for days to see it working. The Skin Biology website is packed with information, so you can decide what might work best for you. They offer a sample pack of products for about $30, so you can try before investing, which is what I did. The P&R #3 is recommended for cystic acne, but they have several versions.

I did a few peels before getting to the CP's. Used Retin-A for abt 6 wks, then 18% TCA, didn't seem do much, dried acne some, peeled a little (less than Retin A), didn't work better than 10% BP(tho I suspect I got a low quality product). 25% TCA on my back & chest took care of cystic acne tho, now I wash body with PanOxyl bar & spot treat if needed w/10% BP. 4 wks ltr did Jessner's Cross w/15% TCA(same session one after the other no rinsing til the end), 1 layer of each left on min. time.Helped a little more, peeled & cleared more spots. Never had gross "stay in the house" skin. Started using CP Serum & LacSal serum from Skin Biology, got samples of Tri-Reduction, loved it! Bought the Tri-Reduction, got samples of Emu Oil,loved that more! Few weeks after 1st one did Jessner's cross again, 3 layers,then 15% TCA(same session) 3 layers, left max time til I frosted some. Rinsed and used Emu oil to heal. Skin was raw and peeled some,still not as bad as Retin A. 10 of 10!I'm 30 w/17 yo skin!

Its a great Product i feel, much cheaper than the cosmiceuticals that cost hundreds that do the same thing. Some people may not like the smell, or the very dark green color of the formulas. I say if you stick with it, it will give you good results, it won't perform miracles, but good results.

Does not work. But can make your scar look different and people sometimes are satisfied with just a different looking scar then what it was before. Notice everyone of these products warn you with 3 lines "This does not work on everyone, may take an excessively long time, and the most viscious third warning - It will look worse before it looks better." So basically that means - Keep buying me even if its making your scar uglier.
