Reconstitute away from direct light and use glass or high-grade polypropylene labware, avoiding prolonged contact with chelating or metallic surfaces that can strip Cu(II) from the tripeptide
Where the component evidence is strongest and weakest GHK-Cu is the best-characterized of the four, with a substantial mechanistic and topical-skincare literature behind it which makes it a reasonable anchor to build a blend around
