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!

I use GHK-cu subq and topically. I mix the topical with hyaluronic acid from The Ordinary

@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.

@jackie So you just basically "reconstitute" it with the HA then vs BACWater?
-
I didn't put any BACWater in the serum. I reconstituted it with a little HA and then put it in the HA bottle.

@jackie awesome thanks!
Have you noticed good results topically vs injected?
-
I think the injections were the main driver of the change. 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.

Inject your subject in the glutes. It is so much better!

@WisGal64 and @jackie Just mixed 1 gram GHK with some Ordinary HA for the Mrs. per your direction on this thread. Confirming it gets refrigerated between uses?
I do. Maybe not necessary, but it feels good cool

@jackie Perfect. Thank you.
Took a little more effort to mix than I expected. Put some serum in the GHK tube and thought it would just dissolve. Shook it and then had to get a small stir stick to finish the job. Poured it into the serum bottle, then put more serum in the tube to get the rest of the GHK. Is this normal? Or is there a better way?
-
I pour it directly into the HA and stir it with the dropper. I store in the cabinet but fridge would work too

@Rain depending on what you little rat friend need. i'd say wrinkled yes the GHK-Cu but i hear tell that KPV can be used topicaly for skin conditions like a rash or eczema. maybe poison ivy itch
