PARAIBA PRIMO™

5% GHK-Cu High-Strength Copper Peptide Gel

The ultimate targeted GHK-Cu gel in the Paraiba range.

PARAIBA PRIMO™ 5% Gel takes our highest-strength copper peptide concept and delivers it in a concentrated, precision-application gel format.

At the centre of the formula is 5% GHK-Cu, or Copper Tripeptide-1 U.S.P. to be precise, the naturally blue copper tripeptide associated with skin renewal, matrix signalling, fibroblast activity and visible support for firmness, smoothness and overall skin quality. Rather than dilute that story with an overloaded ingredient list, PRIMO Gel follows our minimal-intervention philosophy: use a very high level of the hero peptide, then support it with a small number of carefully selected complementary actives.

Unlike with our 2% formulations, such as Reserve and Ultra, formulating with more GHK-Cu means that there are very few other actives that will work effectively. Rather that add tiny amounts of other actives with no meaningful concentration benefit we kept this one simple. The result is a dense, intensely blue/purple 5% GHK-Cu gel designed for customers who want focused copper peptide application with more hold and less run-off than a conventional serum.

Why a gel?

The Carbopol-based gel structure gives PARAIBA PRIMO™ a more controlled application profile. It stays where it is placed, making it ideal for targeted facial areas, neck, décolletage or localised skin-quality support.

Compared with the fluid PRIMO serum, the gel provides:

Greater application precision

Longer surface contact

Less migration or dripping

A richer, more treatment-style feel

Excellent suitability for targeted evening use

It also pairs beautifully with our PDRN range and of course all other Paraiba serums.

5% GHK-Cu: maximum copper peptide focus

GHK-Cu is one of the most recognised copper peptides in advanced skincare. It has been extensively studied for its relationship with extracellular-matrix biology, collagen and glycosaminoglycan signalling, fibroblast activity and skin repair pathways.

PARAIBA PRIMO™ uses 5% GHK-Cu as the undisputed hero active.

The intense sapphire-blue colour comes naturally from the copper peptide complex itself — no artificial blue colour is required.

Supported by a focused hydration matrix

High-strength peptide formulas perform best when the surrounding base supports hydration and skin comfort.

PARAIBA PRIMO™ Gel combines GHK-Cu with:

2% Multi-Molecular-Weight Hyaluronic AcidA mixed HA system designed to provide broad-spectrum hydration across different molecular-weight fractions, helping skin appear smoother, plumper and better hydrated.

1% Saccharide IsomerateA long-lasting hydration active that binds strongly to the skin and helps support persistent moisture retention rather than only short-lived surface hydration.

Matrixyl 3000A complementary peptide complex selected to work alongside GHK-Cu by adding a different peptide-signalling pathway focused on visible firmness, smoothness and skin-quality support.

Serum or Gel?

Choose PARAIBA PRIMO™ 5% Serum if you want a lightweight, fluid copper peptide formula that spreads easily over the whole face.

Choose PARAIBA PRIMO™ 5% Gel if you want a denser, more controlled formula for targeted application and increased surface hold.

Many advanced users may choose to use the serum across broader areas and the gel on specific zones where more precise placement is preferred.

Minimal intervention. Maximum peptide focus.

PARAIBA PRIMO™ is built around a simple principle: use a meaningful concentration of the active that matters most, then support it intelligently.

No unnecessary colourants.No overloaded botanical complex.No crowded active list.

Just high-strength blue copper peptide science in a targeted hydrating gel.

Available in two sizes

20g metal tube — ideal for targeted use, travel or first-time users

50g metal tube — full-size format for regular high-strength copper peptide routines

The metal (poly coated) tube provides a distinctive clinical presentation while protecting the product from UV exposure, keeps dispensing clean, controlled and precise.
