Copper Peptide Cream: Mild Rash and Blue Tint Concerns After Several Weeks

Posted by casey613 in Safety & Side Effects - 1 points, 0 comments.

I started using a 2% copper peptide cream two mornings a week at the end of my rehab program to help with scar tissue from a hand injury. After four weeks I noticed a faint green‑blue tint around the application areas and a slight redness that lingered for a day or two. I haven't had any serious allergic reaction, but the skin still feels a little tight after the product sets.

thumbnail if that's normal. I'm wondering if this is a sign to stop or reduce frequency, or if adding a soothing base like aloe or a low‑scent moisturizer can help. Also, would it be safe to pair it with a mild retinoid or vitamin C serum later in the evening, or is there a risk of exacerbating irritation? I’d appreciate any anecdotal insights or dosing tweaks that keep the benefit while keeping the skin calm.
