Summary

This study tests a topical gel containing GHK-Cu, a copper-peptide complex, to see if it can safely speed up healing of small, standardized skin wounds in healthy adults. Sixty participants will each get two small wounds on their arm; one wound gets the active gel, the other a placebo gel. Healing is tracked with photos and exams over three weeks.
