DIY GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu Hair & Facial Serum
-
Good evening! I just finished my 12-week KLOW protocol and plan to cycle off for a while. It worked really well for me, my injuries seemed to heal faster, my hair and skin looked better, and my gut health improved.
Now I’m interested in making topical hair and face serums using copper peptides. I’ve been using minoxidil for about 10 years, and it has definitely helped regrow and maintain my hair, but I’d eventually like to come off it. I’ve heard great things about AHK-Cu for hair, although I don’t want to lose the progress I’ve made with minoxidil.
I’d also like to make a face serum for my wife (and probably me too). From what I’ve read, AHK-Cu and SNAP-8 can make a good combination and may be considerably cheaper than buying premade products.
I see that @southernaminos has GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu in stock and on sale. Would that be a good place to start? I still can’t seem to find SNAP-8 anywhere. How much of each product would I need, and does anyone have a recipe or formulation to follow?
For the hair serum, I found The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density and thought it might work as a base:
Ordinary hair serumI’m still looking for a good base for the face serum. Any recommendations or guidance would be appreciated!

@blueskies27 I've been looking into this too and the ordinary hyaluronic acid+b5 is what I keep seeing as a good base for both ahk-cu & ghk-cu for scalp and face applications.

I mix my GHKCU into The Ordinary hyaluronic acid +B5, along with Snap 8. I bought the snap 8 from ion Peptides when they had a buy one get one free sale. I think it works great.

@jackiee thanks for the reply, found this video super helpful... DIY topical GHK-cu-snap 8 for pennies on the dollar. I just checked out @ionpeptide it looks like they have a bunch of already premade topical solutions for hair and face...wonder if its just cheaper/less hassel to do that way. I already ordered the ordinary brand serums off amazon though, Do you recommend the raw or lypholized snap-8? I only have BAC water and saline for sprays, randy recommends sterile...suppose I could find some (don't see it at Ion).

The “anela protocols” are a widely used base for both - it’s pretty simple & cheap - also pretty close to the one in Randy’s how to video.
She’s pretty well known around the traps & is known as doctor11 or something similar on a few peptide/glp type forums.My wifes rat loves it - uses both the face & hair one - Neutragena gel in the face & The ordinary for the hair.
Only the lyophilised snap 8 in the face one as I’ve found it difficult to get the raw here in Aus. -
I purchased a kit of Snap 8 from Nexaph recently, during their last Crypto sale. I haven’t used it yet
@jackiee sounds good I may do that. Do you reconstitute with BAC water? Just curious if that (alcohol) is bad for the face serum or not?

@blueskies27 @randy Does this need any preservative or without it does it need refrigeration? Will GHK-Cu inside hyaluronic acid deteriorate fast if left without preservatives or refrigeration?

@pep_researcher From everything I've researched it does need to be refrigerated to preserve longevity. I'm not sure about the about the HA deteriorating the GHK-cu though, good question.

@jackiee How do you plan to recon them? I have saline i could use as I'm sure it will be easier on the skin vs alcohol from BAC water.

@pep_researcher I've seen some people add a couple of drops of germall to preserve it.
