<![CDATA[Peptides for skin tightening / health]]>My friends all know me as "the peptide guy", and one of them is asking about skin health / wrinkle reduction peptides. I know that GHK-Cu is the gold standard, but he is asking about peptides that are used by topical application. My research tiger has never used any of these, and I know that I've heard of some peptide that can be applied directly to the skin but wasn't sure if there were some that are better than others for this use case. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

The post from @valgal about KLOW--is KLOW or GLOW better than just straight GHK?

But it took four months before I saw much improvement really on my skin. Five months for my hair. I’ve only done the topical a little over a month. However, I suspect that that had something to do with my rosacea doing better. I’m not sure though.

Have you noticed good results topically vs injected?

I reconstituted it with a little HA and then put it in the HA bottle.

@jackie so you mix directly from the reconstituted vial with the HA from The Ordinary in a solution that gets you around 2% GHK?

Not exactly. I followed a video on YT called Wrinkle Twinkler and ordered their products from the video. I have since ordered cosmetic grade GHK-cu from Amp when they had a BOGO sale and I will just mix that with the HA. I may buy Snap8 again, but probably not the Syb-take.

I want to make a hand cream and body lotion as well as facial serum.
