GHK-Cu powder... anyone using?

[roundtwo-ish]

If anyone's curious, happy to share my homemade copper-peptide facial serum recipe. Fairly straightforward. Just apply it to completely clean, bare skin, and skip layering anything acidic afterward, like retinol or vitamin C. Store it cold and finish it off inside thirty days.

Sourced my allantoin, panthenol, preservative, small amber spray bottle, precision scale, and pH strips through a general online retailer. Eventually picked up a matching pair of glass beakers with wide, flat bottoms too.

Copper peptide face serum, 50ml, at either 0.3 or 0.5 percent
Ingredients
distilled water
allantoin powder
panthenol (vitamin B5)
cosmetic-grade copper peptide raw powder, smaller amount for the lower concentration, larger for the higher one
broad-spectrum preservative
pH strips or a tester capable of reading below 5.0
amber glass pump or spray bottle, small size

Directions
Sanitize every surface and tool with rubbing alcohol (bottle, workspace, stirring tool, scale, packaging, beakers) and wear gloves throughout
Warm part of the water slightly, mix in allantoin until it's gone into solution
Combine the leftover water with panthenol and blend thoroughly
Stir in the copper peptide powder until fully incorporated
Work in the preservative, then measure and correct pH toward roughly 5.0 to 5.5
Transfer into the sanitized amber gl

Hey all, wrapped up a six-week run of injectable ghk-cu about a month back, saw solid results, though mostly in an old scarred-up leg injury rather than my face, looks noticeably better now. Anyway, just picked up a cosmetic-grade batch of the powdered version and mixed 1g into 50mL, combined with a hyaluronic acid serum.

Question for anyone using this topically: did you notice a super thin, almost invisible film left behind once it dries? Feels slightly tacky, barely perceptible but definitely there. Also noticed some fine lines showing up temporarily where the skin was tightening.

Someone suggested blending what I've got with snap-8 for better moisture retention than the hyaluronic serum alone provides, but I'm not sure whether that's actually the right move. Anyone here run into these same effects, or end up switching up their mix? Wondering if my current formula's just off somehow. Would genuinely appreciate any input, thanks!

This thread is so addictive. Lotions and deodorants are something I've been mixing up at home for years, and now GHK-Cu has me itching to try a batch. Are you all using regular lyophilized powder and mixing it with sterile water?

BG_Checker Could you explain how much GHK-Cu goes into the serum? If I buy a 30ml (1oz) serum, what amount of Cu in mg belongs in it? Any extra detail would be great.

Your post inspired me, thanks! I picked up 1g of plain GHK-Cu powder, added 1ml of BAC water, stirred, and poured the lot into a low molecular hyaluronic acid serum. For freshness Ive divided it across four pumps. Its working miracles on my face and my bumpy chicken-skin legs, Im obsessed. Note: Ive also injected 2 mg of a peptide blend daily for 8 weeks, which helped tremendously, and even the injection site reactions have calmed down.

I need more info on this. I've been searching and everyone says something different. Do you reconstitute the GHK-Cu, or mix the dry peptide into an existing serum? Details please!

大家好，

我打算尝试外用GHK-Cu粉末。我把它混入自制的精华液或乳液里。有人用过吗？我很想最好的使用方法，是否真的值得尝试，每月知道花费多少，以及哪里可以买到。

think i did at the time, but switching to topical application made a real difference. currently just running ghk-cu and kpv together at a 50 to 10 ratio. also picked up some unprocessed copper peptide along with another compound, mixing each into its own bottle of a basic hyaluronic acid serum for topical use. combined, all of it together has made a noticeable improvement.
