To rebuild failing collagen and restore elasticity, the skin requires high-potency Copper Tri-Peptides (GHK-Cu). Instead of diluting this incredibly fragile molecule in a complex, heavy base, we engineered a hyper-minimalist, water-light serum designed strictly for maximum absorption. Synergized with highly purified Gotu Kola (TECA) and a bio-compatible cellular hydration network, this targeted treatment actively signals the skin to accelerate tissue repair and synthesize new elastin. It deeply structuralizes and firms the face without the need for aggressive, irritating acids, leaving a completely weightless finish.

Legacy peptide serums are plagued by two critical failures: aggressive chemical dilution and severe penetration issues. Copper Peptides (GHK-Cu) are incredibly expensive to source. To maximize profit margins, traditional legacy brands utilize highly diluted, pre-mixed peptide solutions, ultimately delivering a microscopic dose ("fairy dusting") that is biologically useless to the skin. Furthermore, even when a trace amount is used, legacy formulators suspend these large peptide chains in thick, suffocating silicones and heavy polymers to create an artificial "slip." These occlusive bases physically block the active molecules from breaching the epidermis, leaving the expensive peptides stranded uselessly on the surface of the face.

We Do Things Differently

We engineered V12 FORGE to completely redefine the standard for clinical peptide delivery. We reject pre-diluted solutions entirely. Instead, we utilize a massive payload of pure, maximum-strength GHK-Cu powder, delivering an undeniable biological signal to the cells. To ensure this concentrated dose actually reaches its target, we stripped the formula of all heavy silicones and suffocating polymers. Driven by an advanced green-chemistry transit system, our water-light matrix ensures the large peptide chains seamlessly penetrate the surface layer alongside tissue-repairing botanicals, leaving the skin dramatically firmer, deeply hydrated, and perfectly primed without a single drop of artificial weight.

The Core Active

0.2% Copper Tripeptide-1: The standard clinical baseline is just 0.1%. We engineered this formula with a 0.2% payload to aggressively signal the synthesis of new collagen and restore skin elasticity.

The Cellular Healer

1% Centella Asiatica Extract (Gotu Kola TECA): Integrated at a massive 1% payload of this biologically active botanical fraction to supercharge the peptides and act as an aggressive tissue-repair accelerator.

The Soothing Agent

0.4% Allantoin: Utilized at an aggressive 0.4% clinical-grade payload to actively mitigate daily irritation and further accelerate the tissue-healing process.

The Advanced Transit & Base Matrix

Propanediol: A targeted green-chemistry solvent network that safely opens the skin's absorption pathways, ensuring the large peptide chains penetrate deeply without barrier-stripping alcohols.

Betaine & Tremella Fuciformis (Snow Mushroom) Extract: Specialized osmolytes and hydrators that manage intracellular water balance, instantly plumping the skin and delivering intense, weightless moisture to optimize the cellular environment for rapid repair.

Broad-Spectrum Bio-Preservative: Clean, broad-spectrum antimicrobial preservatives that perfectly prevent microbial growth safely without interfering with the delicate peptide structure.

Product Specifications

• Size: 1.0 fl oz / 30 mL
• Packaging: UV-Protective Light-Blocking Amber Glass Dropper Bottle
• Safety & Precautions: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with the eyes; if contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of children. If severe irritation, redness, or burning occurs, cease use immediately and consult a physician. A patch test prior to daily use is highly recommended.

When to use

Apply 4-6 drops to clean, dry skin. Copper peptides are highly reactive to low-pH environments. Never layer V12 FORGE in the same routine as L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) or high-strength peeling acids (AHAs/BHAs). Alternate your routines (e.g., Vitamin C in the morning, V12 FORGE at night).

The Perfect Pair

Wash your face with P01 WASH and wait until the skin is fully dry. Apply V12 FORGE to rebuild collagen and restore elasticity. Wait 1 to 2 minutes for complete absorption, and follow with H03 PLUMP for deep cellular hydration.

Storage & Freshness

Keep tightly closed in a cool, dark place.

The Golden Rule (Sun Protection)

Rebuilding collagen, relaxing expression lines, and repairing the skin barrier are completely useless if you simultaneously allow the sun to destroy your skin's elasticity. Finishing your morning routine with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is absolutely non-negotiable to protect your anti-aging results.
