Hyperpigmentation is a rare side effect of copper peptide use, potentially causing skin darkening, especially in individuals with darker skin tones due to increased melanin production.
Hyperpigmentation, characterized by the darkening of skin patches, can occur as a rare side effect of copper peptide use. This is believed to be due to the potential of copper to stimulate melanocyte activity, leading to increased melanin production. Individuals with darker skin tones may be more susceptible due to their naturally higher levels of melanin. The hyperpigmentation typically manifests as localized areas of darker skin where the product containing copper peptides was applied.
