Our science

What Albemore is built around

Albemore is a leave-in scalp serum. Its lead ingredient is GHK-Cu, which appears on an ingredients panel as copper tripeptide-1: three amino acids — glycine, histidine and lysine — bound to a copper ion.

Why the scalp rather than the hair

Hair grows from follicles in the skin of the scalp, so a serum aimed at the scalp is applied to skin, not worked through hair. That is the whole reason Albemore goes onto a dry scalp and is not rinsed out. Rinsing would remove it before it had any contact time with the skin it is meant for.

What copper peptides are used for in cosmetics

Copper peptides have been used in leave-on cosmetics for decades as conditioning agents for skin. In Albemore, copper tripeptide-1 is there to condition the scalp. That is what it is for and that is all we ask of it.

What we do not claim

Albemore is a cosmetic product, not a medicine. It is not a treatment for hair loss, alopecia or any other condition, and we do not claim that it regrows hair, stops shedding, or changes how much hair you have. If your hair loss is sudden, patchy, or worrying you, that is a conversation for a doctor or a dermatologist rather than for a serum.

We also do not publish clinical percentages. Figures like those belong to particular trials on particular formulas, and numbers will only appear on this page once they are ours and we can point you at the study behind them.

How to use it

Once a day, onto a dry scalp, morning or evening — whichever you will actually remember. Part the hair and apply to the scalp itself, then leave it. Nothing to rinse, and nothing else to layer over it. Scalp care works on repetition, so the day you skip matters more than the amount you use.
