NIOD’s Copper Peptide Systems

NIOD Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) anti-ageing serum

OUR BLUE TECHNOLOGY

NIOD is formulated to enhance the natural functions of the skin, allowing it to perform at its best. Our two blue essential formulations Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) and Copper Amino Isolate Lipid 1 % (CAIL) are powered by copper peptides to encourage skin to thrive.

We wanted to pull the curtain back at our lab and share a closer look at the science behind this ingredient’s optimising potential and the difference between our two copper peptide formulations, NIOD CAIS3 and CAIL, and which one suits your skincare needs best.

Understanding Copper Peptides

What are Copper Peptides?

Copper peptides are compounds found naturally within the skin that play a crucial role in many key processes. As we age, the levels of these compounds decrease.

Benefits of Copper Peptides for Skin

Copper peptides help achieve a smoother, more elastic and radiant appearance, helping to address visible signs of ageing and dullness. Copper peptides have also been shown to support collagen levels, offering essential support for skin regeneration and repair.

Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3)

Formulated with copper peptides (GHK-Cu), CAIS3 1:1 is our third generation of our Copper Amino Isolate Serum. It encourages optimal skin performance by targeting multiple visible signs of ageing, including textural irregularities, uneven tone, and a general lack of radiance.

If you are someone who wants a lightweight texture and would like to target textural irregularities and uneven skin tone, CAIS3 1:1 is a good match for your needs.

Copper Amino Isolate Lipid 1% (CAIL)

CAIL 1% is a system in a blue gel texture developed through a patented process and powered by palmitoyl copper peptides (Pal-GHK-Cu). The breakthrough formulation successfully includes Pal-GHK-Cu at 1%,solubilised in a glycolipid solution for enhanced delivery and skin affinity. 

Pal-GHK-Cu is incorporated into a formulation by a patented process that was developed by NIOD over an extensive two-year period. CAIL 1% is for individuals seeking improved elasticity, volume, and tone.

Incorporating Copper Peptides into Your Skincare Regimen

Both Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) and Copper Amino Isolate Lipid 1 % (CAIL) are to be used after the cleansing step in your regimen. We also recommend sealing in the skincare benefits for both with a moisturiser. Where these two formulations differ is when to use each for an optimised experience.

How to Use Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3)

  1. Apply a few drops to the face daily in the morning and evening as the first step after cleansing.
  2. Gently massage until fully absorbed.

How to use Copper Amino Isolate Lipid 1% (CAIL)

  1. Apply a pea-sized amount of this concentrated formula to the face and neck in the evening.
  2. Gently massage into the skin until fully absorbed.

Using Both CAIS3 and CAIL in a Regimen

If you wish to take advantage of both formulations, we recommend applying Copper Amino Isolate Serum 3 1:1 (CAIS3) in the morning and Copper Amino Isolate Lipid 1% (CAIL) in your evening regimen for a more versatile approach to target signs of ageing, including the look of elasticity, volume and skin tone

Ingredients to Avoid with Copper Peptides

For both copper peptide formulations, we recommend avoiding using them in combination with the following ingredients:

  • Direct Acids
  • Direct Vitamin C
  • Retinoids
  • Strong Antioxidants
