The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides Serum — 1 fl oz, 1% GHK-Cu for Fine Lines & Improved Elasticity

The Ordinary Multi-Peptide + Copper Peptides 1% is an advanced anti-aging serum formulated to reduce the look of fine lines and improve skin elasticity using five peptide technologies plus copper peptide GHK-Cu.

This concentrated serum combines multiple peptide complexes, hyaluronic acids, amino acids and copper peptides to deliver targeted support for mature or aging-prone skin. It was created to address several visible signs of advanced aging at once — smoothing texture, supporting firmness and helping the complexion appear more radiant. Because it contains direct copper peptides (GHK-Cu), it also helps address skin concerns that relate to oxidative stress, making it a versatile option for an anti-aging routine.

How will this serum affect my fine lines and skin texture?

The blend of five peptide technologies works to target visible signs of advanced aging by supporting the skin’s structural look and surface smoothness. Regular use can help soften the appearance of fine lines while improving the overall texture and tone.

• Five peptide complexes including Matrixyl™ variants and ARGIRELOX™ for targeted support.
• Hyaluronic acids to hydrate and plump the skin surface.
• Amino acids and bio-derivatives to support skin feel and resilience.
• GHK-Cu (copper peptide) to address oxidative-stress related signs.

Can I use it with other active treatments in my routine?

This formula is potent and should be layered thoughtfully. Avoid combining it directly with strong direct acids, retinoids or potent antioxidant serums in the same application to reduce the risk of irritation; instead space them between morning and evening routines or alternate nights.

• Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin morning and/or night for best results.
• Do not mix directly with concentrated acids, vitamin A derivatives or high-dose vitamin C on the same layer.
• Patch test before first use and introduce gradually if using other actives.
• Follow with moisturizer and daily SPF in the morning.

What are the key ingredients and what role do they play?

The serum combines synergistic peptides with hydration and supportive amino acids to create an all-in-one approach. Each ingredient group addresses a different dimension of skin aging: peptides for structural appearance, copper peptide for antioxidant-style support, and humectants for immediate hydration.

• GHK-Cu (copper peptide): helps target signs associated with environmental stressors.
• Matrixyl™ synthe'6™ and Matrixyl™ 3000: peptide complexes for smoothing and firmness.
• SYN™-AKE and ARGIRELOX™: peptides aimed at relaxing expression-related lines and improving texture.
• Hyaluronic acids and amino acids: hydration and skin surface resilience.

How should I apply this serum for safe, effective results?

Use a few drops on cleansed skin, gently pressing the serum evenly across the face. Because it contains active peptides and copper, patch testing is advised and avoid simultaneous use with direct acids or strong retinoids to minimize irritation.

• Apply morning and/or evening after cleansing and before heavier treatments.
• Use a dropper to dispense a few drops; pat lightly into skin until absorbed.
• Introduce slowly if combining with other actives; always use sunscreen daytime.
• Store in a cool, dry place and cap tightly when not in use.

Who is this for: This serum is designed for people concerned with visible signs of advanced aging—fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven texture and dullness—who want a multi-targeted, peptide-forward solution. It suits those comfortable introducing concentrated actives into their routine and willing to space or alternate stronger acids and retinoids. Not recommended for users seeking a basic hydrating serum or for anyone who prefers fragrance-free formulas without advanced actives; patch testing is encouraged for sensitive skin types.
