First impressions

From the first jars out the door.

Honest words from the people who tried the Founders Batch before it went on sale. Proper before-and-afters coming once they've had 12 weeks with it.

Ascend GHK-Cu moisturiser in use

“Skin feels firmer and looks smoother, especially round the eyes. Six weeks in and I've already reordered.”

Sample — Lewis, Suffolk
Ascend GHK-Cu moisturiser in use

“I was using a separate retinol and a moisturiser. This replaced both and my routine is now one jar and thirty seconds.”

Sample — Alex, Suffolk
Ascend GHK-Cu moisturiser in use

“Redness around my nose calmed right down. Didn't expect much from a cream and it's the first one I've actually finished.”

Sample — Ryan, Bristol
Ascend GHK-Cu moisturiser in use

“Lighter than I expected for something this rich. Sinks in, no shine, and my skin looked less tired by the end of the first week.”

Sample — Tom, Manchester

The full formula

Where science meets nature.

Five actives. Cold-pressed natural oils. Every ingredient in here does a job — nothing added for padding, nothing left out that matters. Made and safety tested in the UK.

Active

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1)

The hero. UK-sourced, safety tested. Known for leaving skin looking firmer, smoother and more even. Applied as a moisturiser, no injection.

Active

Sodium Hyaluronate

Hyaluronic acid that draws in and holds moisture, for hydration that lasts through the day rather than sitting on the surface.

Active

Retinyl Palmitate

A gentle form of vitamin A. Helps skin look smoother and softens the appearance of fine lines over time.

Active

Vitamin C + CoQ10

Stable vitamin C for a brighter, more even-looking tone. CoQ10 for antioxidant support. Both work alongside the GHK-Cu.

Natural oils

Rosehip · Argan · Olive Husk · Macadamia

Cold-pressed oils rich in fatty acids that nourish, soften and help support the skin's natural barrier.

Natural

Squalane + Arnica Montana

Squalane seals everything in without grease or shine. Arnica helps skin look and feel calmer.

The hero ingredient

Why GHK-Cu is the peptide everyone is talking about.

GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) is one of the most researched peptides in skincare. It's a copper-binding peptide found naturally in the body, and the amount we carry drops sharply with age — which is why it's had so much attention from dermatology and cosmetic science over the last decade.

Until recently, most people only came across GHK-Cu through clinics and injectables. Ascend puts it in a moisturiser you apply once a day. Same peptide, none of the faff.

  • Skin that looks firmer and feels more resilient
  • A smoother, more even surface texture
  • Antioxidant support against everyday environmental stress
  • A calmer, more balanced-looking complexion
  • Sourced and safety tested in the UK — no unverified imports

GHK-Cu is a cosmetic ingredient. Ascend is a moisturiser, not a medicine, and isn't a substitute for professional treatment.

Ascend copper peptide moisturiser, open jar

How to use

One jar. One minute. Once a day.

1

Cleanse

Wash your face, pat dry.

2

Apply

A pea-sized amount, warmed between fingertips, pressed into face and neck.

3

Done

Morning or night. If you use it in the morning, follow with SPF.

Contains vitamin A. Patch test first if you have sensitive skin, and don't combine with other retinoid products in the same routine until you know how your skin responds.

Why Ascend

Two of us. One jar. No middle men.

Ascend is two of us. It started because we got into peptides, saw GHK-Cu blowing up, and couldn't find a UK-made version that was honest about what was in it and didn't cost clinic money.

So we made it ourselves. Formulated in the UK, safety tested in the UK, sold by the two people who built it. This first batch is 250 jars. You're buying from us, not a warehouse.

If you've got a question, email us. One of us will answer it.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is this the same GHK-Cu people inject?

GHK-Cu is a single, well-defined peptide (Copper Tripeptide-1). Ascend uses it as a topical cosmetic ingredient in a moisturiser. We don't make any claims about how a cream compares to injectable use — that's a medical question and we're a skincare brand.

Is it just for men?

It's formulated and marketed for men, but there's nothing in it that's gender-specific. Anyone can use it.

How long until I notice a difference?

Hydration you'll feel straight away. For texture and tone, actives like these need consistent use over 6–12 weeks. We'd say give it one jar.

Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C serums?

It already contains a vitamin A derivative and vitamin C, so you don't need to stack more on top. If you already use a prescription retinoid, ask your GP or dermatologist before adding this.

Does it have SPF?

No. Use a separate SPF in the morning.

How does the founders discount work?

Enter FOUNDER10 at checkout for 10% off your first jar. It's a one-time code and it stops working once the 250 Founders Batch jars are sold.

What if I don't get on with it?

30-day returns on your first jar, used or not. Email us and we'll sort it.

Should I subscribe or buy once?

If you want to try it first, buy once with FOUNDER10. If you already know you'll keep using it, subscribing is cheaper every time (15% off, better than the founders code) and you can skip or cancel from your account. The two discounts don't stack.

How often? A jar lasts about 8 weeks once a day. If you use it morning and night, choose the 6-week option.

Where do you ship?

UK only for now, free next day delivery on every order. International coming after the Founders Batch.
