Editor's note
Lipopeptides emphasize delivery; Copper-peptides emphasize biological activity.
| Criterion | Lipopeptides | Copper Peptides |
|---|---|---|
| Strategy | Enhanced delivery (lipid) | Active mechanism (copper) |
| Mechanism diversity | Lipid-mediated absorption | Copper-mediated signaling |
| Cosmetic adoption | Growing | Extensive (GHK-Cu-dominant) |
| Preclinical depth | Emerging | Established |
| Innovation momentum | High | Moderate |
