One particularly relevant comparison in the Matrixyl vs GHK-Cu literature involves post-laser resurfacing recovery GHK-Cu applied to treatment areas demonstrated measurably reduced recovery time and improved collagen density on biopsy compared to vehicle controls
GHK was also shown to combat copper-dependent oxidation of low-density lipoproteins, while various other common antioxidants, such as superoxide dismutase, only provided protection against oxidation up to 20%
Neither range comes from a completed human trial, because there isnt one
