Hi Everyone,

Can someone please give me information about copper peptides for face..

I asked a dermatologist and he told me that they use copper peptides for patients with hair transplants for scalp and hair and he was not aware if copper peptides can be used for face..

Can someone advice if:
1. Copper peptides should be used in face..
2. What are the pros and cons for it?
3. What benefits does copper peptides provide versus other peptides..

Thanks

Hey Trish

Ok easier said than done but don’t panic. What happens with CPs is that they are supposed to bring up the damage and help it travel out faster. So that may be whats happening with you – that the damaged has been loosened from deep in the derma and is making its way to the top. Its not permanent so don’t scare yourself silly with this at the moment, think of it as a change in process. Now the other thing is get right back in contact with NCN. Don’t speak to her sister, but email them and ask Nanci for her advice. I do know some people who tried the CPs and their eyes changed and they weren’t happy with the product and so stopped using it. That may be something for you to consider. I do know that those who experienced bad results got hold of Easy Eye Solutions – and used that with great effect and there’s a large thread about it somewhere on EDS so read that too.

Don’t freak out, and know that you can and will restore your skin to an even better form than it was previously!

Best wishes

Tessie

1. Copper peptides should be used in face..

Well this is difficult to answer as some say they do good, and some say they do bad. The place to start reading about them is probably Dr Pickart’s website (www.skinbiology.com) where he goes into detail about what they do etc. He created them and discovered them and has worked on several different other products so that’s probably the best place to start reading and also direct your dermatologist to who doesn’t sound like he knows much about them.

2. What are the pros and cons for it?

Depends who you ask. One of the things is that they start removing buried damage and so that makes its way to the skin surface, but this is supposed to be a temporary result, but there have been some that have reported that this is not so. Again depends who you want to believe.

3. What benefits does copper peptides provide versus other peptides..

Skinbiology website can give you better information here. For what its worth Cps have been used in studies, and shown great results.

I just spoke to Nancy who owns NCN skin care line and she promised me ..not to worry that my skin would go back to normal..she said that she use to sell Dr.P's products and that his were much stronger than her CP's and she would work with people to get their skin back to normal..that this reaction I am having with my skin is ONLY TEMPORARY..then I asked her " then why am I reading testimonials on Internet that CP ruined people skin for good..Let me say this people I am NOT BASHING HER COMPANY..I believe I was just not one of the lucky candidates. She refunded my money...which is the least of my problems..she emailed me immediately letting me know that..she said she is sending me some DNA renovage that will help repair it and she PROMISED ME it was not permanent!! I just feel THERE SHOULD BE A WARNING WHEN SELLING THIS PRODUCT...I had NO CLUE .. Till I started seeing signs and then jump on I phone and started googling and reading some scary stuff...then I of course, starting beating myself up wondering " why didn't I google this first?" We'll, I have used ONE serum for 15 yrs with numerous moisturizers and have never considered unless you went to a doctor for a prescription strength would you have any problems...I have studied nutrition since I was 18yrs..I eat almost all raw (vegan) and have always taken care as to what goes in my mouth so I already looked extremely young for my 57 yrs..but I don't know squat about skin care so that is why I was leaving that up to a professional..I use the product exactly as she said ..thank GOD for that..I used it once a day..she said NO ONE in all her years selling HER products has anyone but ME had a bad reaction! I did find a site last night that did have a WARNING stating: that CP could trigger excessive production of metallproteinases..promoting free radical damage and collagen breakdown leading to accelerated skin AGING ... So people that are new to CP 's know your risk before you leap..in about a week or so I will get back on this site to let you know if I am getting any Better..Nancy PROMISED ME I WOULD! I am PRAYING TO GOD SHE IS RIGHT! Please no one write anything that would discourage that train of thought..only give me positive feedback ..I am too freaked out already..sincerely freaking out!

Hi Trish

Well with Cps, I don’t think they are the same as other serums you can buy in the shops, they are skin remodellers and so they work a little different but often deeper than serums you can buy elsewhere. Nancy is a doll – and I would trust her, she’s helped many of us out with our skin concerns, so take faith in whats she told you and listen to the advice.

Its very easy to scare yourself about anything, and when we all read stuff on the net we often don’t get to see the person or find out a lot of information and there are some people out there who write negative reviews purposefully. Not that I think you are one, but I think you may have come into contact with some horror stories from them and then like anyone you get completely freaked out.

Some of the reviews you may have read I’ve come into contact with and often times have written them. Like you I know very little about skincare so I often ask them for scientific evidence of things and I can honestly say its rare if any that I get sent any. One time I did get forwarded a study which was completely fabricated and thank goodness I emailed SkinBio for their opinion, because they searched out the author and the studies it cited and exposed it for being incorrect in all of its assumptions.

Skin heals and repairs without doubt, and the thing when you use any remodeller is that your skin goes through changes. It would even have gone through them if you used plain old Vit C – just take a read of reviews on that. Retin A is another one that scares people, but these are just like your results temporary reactions that happen during the usage and by no means permanent so relax and let the new stuff Nancy is sending you do its job and then report back. Stop freaking out, because it will only make you feel worse and then you will sabotage your own results by worrying and stressing yourself out for no good reason. Take heart – I’ve been there, done it, got the t-shirt etc and am in my 60’s!

Thank you Tessie for taking time to type all of that ..and no..I am not a person to type negative stuff just to scare someone..I believe in ..what goes around comes around..I continually do positive affirmations and prayers and send out nothing but GOODWILL TO ALL MANKIND..I keep doing a NO..Law of Denial..last night..saying " I do not accept this condition as permanent or lasting" ..that is what you say when you want to dissolve a condition ..then reaffirm with a positive affirmation saying " Divine Intelligence is at wonderful work here" ... I kept saying that till finally at 5:30 am this morning I fell asleep and slept for 2 hr..immediately jumped up to see if Nancy had emailed me back..and she had..reassuring me my skin would go back to normal..When I bought I had NO IDEA WHAT SO EVER THIS WAS A PRODUCT THAT WAS GOING TO BE HARSH IN ANY WAY..I did not realize..since I do not do retin A ..I was always afraid of doing retin A ..I thought retin a's were too harsh and thinned the skin and did not want to take any chances....so I had NO IDEA THIS STUFF WAS STRONG !! Until my skin began to look old and then jumped on net..I think a company should ask you "do you know about peptides and not everyone reacts the same way?" If they would have even HINTED THAT DIRECTION ..I would NOT NOT NOT have tried them..I am NOT a risk taker AT ALL .. That is why I eat so extremely clean..I don't want to risk my health with typical American diet..so yeah..all these years of taking care of myself to have this happen without a WARNING by the company selling them..they should NOT assume everyone has read up on them..as a matter of fact..when Nancy's sister recommended CP's she then followed up by saying you should read on Internet all the good reviews..well, I should have ..right then and there gone on Internet and read the reviews..I would have sent the product back IMMEDIATELY..but I didn't..just took her word for it..NOTHING WAS MENTIONED ABOUT IT PRODUCING A BAD RESULT. Ok , I am repeating myself..Thank you Tessie..
