What Hyphen Says
Product Description:
POWER PEPTIDE COCKTAIL SERUM A one-of-a-kind 10% Peptide Cocktail serum with a potent 2% Copper Peptide that firms, plumps skin and fights signs of aging. This unique dark blue serum irons out fine lines, crow’s feet, wrinkles and improves elasticity. Designed to deliver visible and lasting results, it stimulates collagen production by keeping skin youthful. Boosts skin elasticity and firmness with 2% copper peptides. The serum speeds up skin healing to reduce the appearance of scars and other skin problems. It also enhances hydration by locking in moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft and supple. This serum combines a potent 10% Peptides Cocktail, this includes - 2% Copper Peptides, 3% Matrixyl 3000, 1% Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and 4% blend of six peptides. Together they repair damaged skin and prevent collagen breakdown while smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines. Lastly, Ginseng and Flax seed extracts fade fine lines for visibly firmer skin.

Key Ingredients
2% Copper Peptides, 3% Matrixyl 3000, 1% Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Ginseng Extract, Flax Seed Extract
Ingredients Details
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8
Common Name(s): Argireline plus,snap-6,acetyl glutamyl hexapeptide-3 modified
CAS Number: 616204-22-9
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Inhibits neuromuscular acetylcholine release for reduced facial muscle contraction and expression line formation.
Why It's Used: Enhanced argireline analog with improved stability for formulations requiring optimized neuro-inhibiting anti-wrinkle performance.
How It Works: Competes with snap-25 protein for binding to the snare complex, reducing vesicular acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions. reduced acetylcholine binding decreases muscle contraction amplitude, reducing expression line depth with repeated use.
Typically Found In: Anti-wrinkle creams,expression line treatments,forehead/eye area products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – neurotransmitter-inhibiting peptide
Secondary Functions: Enhanced snare inhibition,improved stability
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 3–1000 ppm
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes – synthetic
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetically produced. encapsulation may improve delivery to neuromuscular junction.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Exceptional safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid,ceramides,retinol,moisturizers
Avoid Combining With: No significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Hexapeptide-8 differs from argireline (hexapeptide-3) in its c-terminal modification that increases resistance to enzymatic degradation by skin proteases. this improved stability extends the bioavailability of the active peptide at the neuromuscular junction, potentially improving clinical anti-wrinkle efficacy vs the original argireline.

Copper Peptides
Common Name(s): Copper peptide,cu-ghk wound healing remodelling,anti-aging active
CAS Number: N/a
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Stimulates production of collagen i, ii, iii, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans, activates antioxidant copper-zinc sod for ros protection, promotes wound healing through keratinocyte migration stimulation, and remodels scar tissue.
Why It's Used: Ghk-cu is naturally produced after skin injury (serum ghk rises dramatically post-wound) providing the body's own post-damage repair signal — topical ghk-cu supplements this repair signalling outside wound contexts for continuous maintenance anti-aging.
How It Works: Ghk-cu coordinates cu²⁺ through the histidine imidazole and glycine/lysine terminal amines forming a stable 1:1 complex. this cu-peptide activates tgf-β1, bfgf, and vegf receptor pathways → fibroblast proliferation and collagen gene upregulation. copper coordination also provides superoxide dismutase-like antioxidant activity.
Typically Found In: Anti-aging serums,wound healing
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – signal peptide
Secondary Functions: Collagen stimulation,skin firming,anti-aging
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.1%–5%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Synthetically produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis (spps). may be palmitoylated for stability.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 1/5 – very low
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 – non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Non-irritating; suitable for all skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Exceptional safety profile. ewg score: 1.
Works Well With: Hyaluronic acid,ceramides,retinol,vitamin c,niacinamide
Avoid Combining With: Avoid mixing with high-concentration ahas at same ph (may hydrolyze peptide bonds)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Ghk-cu genome-wide studies show it modulates 31% of the expressed human genome toward younger expression patterns — regulating over 4,000 human genes involved in collagen synthesis, antioxidant defence, and anti-inflammatory signalling.

Matrixyl 3000
Common Name(s): Matrixyl 3000 component,rigin,palmitoyl gqpr
CAS Number: 272459-84-6
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides il-6-targeting anti-inflammaging activity as matrixyl 3000's immunomodulating component.
Why It's Used: Inflammaging-targeting peptide — palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 targets the il-6-driven chronic skin inflammation (inflammaging) that accelerates collagen degradation in aging skin, providing anti-aging from a unique anti-inflammatory mechanism.
How It Works: Gqpr sequence mimics tuftsin (natural immunomodulating tetrapeptide). inhibits il-6 overproduction in aged fibroblasts and keratinocytes reducing chronic low-grade inflammatory mmp activation. stimulates ecm protein synthesis including collagen and fibronectin. used with palmitoyl oligopeptide as matrixyl 3000.
Typically Found In: Premium anti-aging serums,matrixyl 3000 products
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Active ingredient – signal peptide
Secondary Functions: Collagen stimulation,skin firming,anti-aging
Application Areas:

Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 0.0001%–0.01%
SOURCING & ETHICS

Avoid Combining With: Avoid mixing with high-concentration ahas at same ph (may hydrolyze peptide bonds)
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Matrixyl 3000's two-peptide combination (palmitoyl oligopeptide + palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) targets aging from two complementary directions: palmitoyl oligopeptide stimulates collagen synthesis (anabolic anti-aging), while palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 inhibits inflammaging-driven il-6 collagen destruction (catabolic anti-aging). together they provide a comprehensive two-pronged anti-aging approach.
