DIY Topical Peptide Serum with GHK-Cu + Snap-8 | Base, Mixing & Clean Handling (Video Tutorial)

[mitchmiller]

@randy in the video you said half a gram but it looks like a lot less than that. Can you clarify?

[papodacgmail.com]

You don't state how much Snap-8 you added in the video? 10mg? I have purchased Snap-8 bulk in a Lyophilized powder so not sure if I can add directly to the HA serum?

[mitchmiller]

@PeptideCritic a couple of questions in this tread for ya

[Reactive3078]

I made 4 of these serums gave 2 away kept one in the freezer... Would it still work after thawing it?

@Reactive3078
How much snap 8 and GHK powder did you use?

[Reactive3078]

@ZnYdErX3 I added 1/2 gram of GHK-CU and Snap-8 I did 25 mg.

I’m making this soon just minus the snap8. Can i buy a half gram scoop from Amazon? Will that be just as accurate without the kitchen scale? Also I have seen a few other mixtures for this that calls a gram?

I did the math and it's about the same price to buy a pre-made GHK product relative to taking the DIY route.

A couple of differences:

1. Knowing your GHK is "legit" when you make it yourself (controlling your sourcing)
2. Controlling the amount of GHK in the finished product. Iirc Anela aims for ~3%, whereas standard formulations are a lot lower at 0.5 or 1%
3. A lot of pre-made serums will have a more complex formulation that could be more beneficial to your skin
   3.5) In some cases the formulation could be a turn off because it has too much

Here's the GHK product I used to compare to the DIY route: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9DXGXZ3

Lmk if my math is wrong, I've been seriously contemplating making my own skin and hair serums for a while, but the math wasn't what I wanted it to be.

Randy motivated me and I have started making a few different types - all w/ ordinary HA base.

The first is a GHK-Cu night serum

Water, Sodium Hyaluronate
GHK-Cu 1.2%
Glycerin 3.3%
Propanediol 3.3%
Ectoin 1.0%
Panthenol 1.0%
Optiphen 1.0%
Allantoin 0.5%
Pal-150 0.027%
Snap-8 0.027%

the second is morning serum

Timeless HA, Ectoin 2.5%, Panthenol 2.5%
Beta-glucan 1%, Glycerin 3%, Propanediol 2%
Allantoin 0.5%, Optiphen 1%, Syn-Ake 3mg

The third is an eczema serum which has been amazing w/ KPV
Timeless HA 30 mL
Ectoin 1.05 g (3.5%)
KPV 5 × ~12.65 mg vials (~63 mg, ~0.21%) via 0.10–0.15 g BAC each
GHK-Cu 0.09 g (0.30%)
Yeast β-glucan powder 0.06 g (0.2%)
Allantoin 0.06 g (0.2%)
Panthenol 0.30 g (1%)
Propanediol 0.82 g
Optiphen 0.21 g

All ingredients bought from supply houses. Hardest thing for me to get cheap is KPV in bulk.....any ideas?

@SSB What are the benefits of these night and day serums?

I'm about to finish my serum based on randy's video.

Where do you get the blue powder

[seadracos]

You can search for raw AHK-cu or GHK-cu and find suppliers. Nexaph does sell 5g at a time, but it's going to be more expensive than a lot of other places.

[Justdabbling]

@seadracos thanks. Does this work with reconstituted ghk or has to be the powder?

[seadracos]

That I'm not sure, you probably could use reconstituted lypholized ghk. The raw powder is significantly cheaper though, and I think a different recipe i read recommended that you reconsitute the raw powder for more even mixing.
The raw powder is topical only though.

[andrewwiencken]

Question when reconstituting snap-8 10mg vile, is minimal amount of sterile water used just to reconstitute ? sounds like a researcher might use two 10mg vials of snap-8 for the mixture in the vid . any thoughts would be appreciated
