The Differentiator
What is GHK-Cu copper peptide?
GHK-Cu (copper tripeptide-1) is a naturally occurring copper-binding peptide studied for its role in skin's own renewal process. It's common in serums and eye creams built around longevity and skin repair — far less common in a blemish patch. Capri Cu's microdart patch is built around it as a copper peptide spot patch for the mark a breakout leaves behind, not the active blemish itself.
Why Microdart
Hydrocolloid vs. microdart.
Hydrocolloid
Hydrocolloid has been used in wound care since the 1980s — a plant-based gel that draws fluid out of an area and keeps it clean while it recovers. It's the category standard for an active spot, but it has nothing built in for what's left once the fluid is gone.
Microdart — Capri Cu's Format
Instead of a flat gel disc, Capri Cu's center carries a dense lattice of microscopic points seated flush against the skin, helping move GHK-Cu copper peptide into contact with a mark long after the fluid is gone. It's a texture, not a needle: nothing here punctures skin.
How It Works
Anatomy of the patch.
Four parts, one job: get copper peptide to the mark and stay put doing it.
What Actually Matters
Five things a patch has to get right.
Everything else is packaging. Here's what we built Capri Cu around.
Does the Job
Delivers copper peptide to the mark left behind — the patch's whole reason for being.
Precise Fit
At 14mm, sized for the mark itself, not a blanket-sized bandage over healthy skin.
Stays Put All Night
A patch that peels off by morning didn't do its job. Built to hold through a full night's sleep.
Barely-There
A feathered, tapered edge so it sits flush under sunscreen, moisturizer, or makeup instead of announcing itself.
Breaks the Picking Habit
The barrier itself is what keeps fingers off skin while a mark fades.
Most patches are built for an active blemish — drawing fluid from a spot that's already come to a head. Capri Cu is built for what happens after: once the fluid is gone and a mark is left behind, this copper peptide (GHK-Cu) microdart patch takes over, supporting the look of the skin as it renews. The same barrier also doubles as protection against touching and picking.
Capri Cu is a clear, low-profile patch with a softly feathered, tapered edge, so it seats flush against the skin instead of announcing itself with a hard rim. Its frosted central zone carries a dense lattice of extremely fine points that read as a matte texture, not distinct bumps — thin enough to wear to bed or under makeup.
Full INCI is pending real formulation data — we don't publish a list we can't stand behind (same policy as the Eye Mask's ingredients page). The six named actives below are what's confirmed so far.
| Active | Function |
|---|---|
| GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1) | Supports skin's natural renewal process |
| Palmitoyl Peptide Complex | Supports a firmer, smoother look over time |
| Tranexamic Acid | Helps reduce the look of stubborn post-breakout marks |
| Niacinamide | Supports a more even-looking tone |
| Madecassoside | Calms the look of redness and irritation |
| Hyaluronic Acid | Draws in moisture to support hydration |
Cleanse
Cleanse and fully dry the area — patches won't adhere to damp skin.
Apply
Press the patch over the mark left behind by a healed or healing blemish.
Wear
Leave on overnight (8+ hours), then peel away in the morning.
What's in the Box
Every Capri Cu box holds 27 individually-sealed microdart patches, 14mm each, packaged in a protective blister tray to keep them sealed and effective until you're ready to use one.

FAQ
Is this a patch that pops or drains a blemish?
No — Capri Cu isn't a hydrocolloid extraction patch. It's a copper peptide (GHK-Cu) microdart patch built for the mark a blemish leaves behind, not the active blemish itself.
How many patches come in a box?
27 patches per box, each 14mm. Most microdart patches on the market come in boxes of 8 to 12, so one Capri Cu box covers considerably more marks.
What's the difference between the 1, 2, and 3 box options?
Just quantity and price per box. 2 boxes is our most popular option and the best everyday supply; 3 boxes is the best value for regular, ongoing use.
What does microdart mean?
Microdart describes the fine, dense surface texture across the center of the patch — hundreds of microscopic points that read as a matte texture, not distinct bumps, seated flush against the skin to support even delivery of the copper peptide layer underneath.
How long until I see a difference?
Wear nightly with consistent use — the appearance of a mark fades gradually as skin naturally renews, not overnight. Fresh marks typically show a visible difference sooner than older, more set-in discoloration.
Can I use it with retinol or vitamin C?
Yes. Apply your other actives first and let them absorb, then place the patch over the spot or mark as the last step of your routine.
Do pimple patches actually work?
Hydrocolloid patches have been used since the 1980s to draw fluid out of an area and keep it clean while it recovers — useful for an active spot, but not for what's left once the fluid is gone. That's the gap Capri Cu's copper peptide microdart patch is built for.
What's the difference between a hydrocolloid patch and a microdart patch?
A hydrocolloid patch is a flat, clear gel disc that draws fluid out of an active spot. A microdart patch swaps the flat gel for a textured center — a dense lattice of microscopic points that sit against the skin to help deliver an ingredient like GHK-Cu copper peptide. Capri Cu is a microdart patch, built for the mark left behind rather than the active spot.
Can I wear it under makeup or sunscreen?
Yes — the patch is built to sit flat and stay put under sunscreen, moisturizer, or makeup. Apply it as the last step of your routine and let it fully adhere for a minute before layering anything on top.
How long should I leave a patch on?
At least 8 hours — overnight is easiest. The dissolving micro-tips work gradually through the night, so a full night's wear gets the most out of each patch.
