The epidermis is keratinocyte territory, ending in the stratum corneum, where flattened corneocytes sit in a lipid matrix of ceramides, cholesterol and free fatty acids. That lipid organisation is the permeability barrier. The dermis below is fibroblast territory: collagen, elastin, proteoglycans.
Most of the copper-peptide matrix literature is fibroblast work. It describes the dermis. Statements about barrier function describe something else, produced by different cells through different chemistry.
Copper-dependent enzymes are not confined to the dermis. Tyrosinase, a copper enzyme, performs the rate-limiting step in melanin synthesis in epidermal melanocytes. Copper-zinc superoxide dismutase operates throughout. Copper transport proteins are expressed in keratinocytes as elsewhere.
So copper is relevant to epidermal biology on its own evidence. That evidence is about copper, however, not automatically about a particular copper peptide.
Copper peptide products commonly collapse the two compartments into one set of benefits, moving from a dermal matrix measurement to a barrier or pigmentation claim without stating that the compartment changed. Once the compartments are separated, the claims have to be supported one at a time.
For a laboratory this is a design question rather than a copywriting one: the model, the cell type and the endpoint determine which compartment you are entitled to talk about.
