GHK-CU serum

[CandyCap]

I chose to go with a low molecular weight hyaluronic acid serum with added ceramides (which my skin loves).

1 gram of the GHK-CU cosmetic

30ml of HA serum

I am a bath and body product maker, so I used my small (dedicated bath and body) mini battery whisk to mix everything together.

Divided into 3 (10ml) airless pump bottles. This way, I can have one bottle out and keep the remaining bottles in the fridge.

It is just soooo pretty.

I have some cosmetic grade GHKCu and would like to do the same. Which low molecular weight hyaluronic acid serum do you use? Thank you.

Where did you get the 10ml airless sprayers?

I used Torriden Dive in, with ceramides.

Using the low molecular weight HA let's it sink in better, and not sit on the surface.

I found these on Amazon. 10ml airless pumps.

I have the same formula (just more GHK in it) and I love it.

I also made another serum, using GHKcu/Snap8/Matrixyl 3000...I like that one in the morning as it tightens everything up...esp under the eyes.

Just to answer my own post, I found a bunch of Airless Serum Pumps on Amazon and AliExp. I'm not sure which ones are the best, but I'll look for high sellers with good reviews and just hope! I'm glad to hear about them though, since I hadn't seen them (refillable ones) before.

Oh fancy! I have the ghk serum homemade. But haven’t played with snap8 or M3000. Does it tackle under eye bags ??

So I just got 10g of cosmetic in and i'm struggling with how much GHK-Cu to add to HA serum.

I'm reasonablly sure that 1% = 333mg/oz . But then the reccomendations are all over the place.

So in your formula you have a 3% mix? Do you use this for face or body? Is there a reccomendation for different concentrations for different places? Pro's/Con's of too high a concentration?

I do 1gr per 60ml ~1.6% for face and 1gr/30ml ~3.3% for body.

Note that there will be degradation with time so you'll want a little extra in there.

Yes, I have 3.3% in mine. I have been using it on all my loose skin, as well as my face.

Do you have a gram scale? Its really helpful in measuring it out.

My skin tolerates a higher percentage. Just like everything, some peple may not. I would definitely do a small batch to begin with, and see how you react.

How did you incorporate it into you routine? I have a lot of growth factors, peptide and tretinoin but not sure what time of day or in what order this should slot in.

I use it like I would an active. So put it on to my freshly washed face, then layer everything else on top. I would not recommend using it at the same time as tret. I usually use it in the morning at the opposite time of my tret.

Thanks! I can definitely use it in the morning with the tret in the evening. I've been on tret for 35 years in some form or strength, and usually use it every other or every two days at this point.

Excellent, didn't think about the decline.

Thank you, yes I have a cheapy mg maxus that is reasonably accurate. Got it when I thought i was going to encapsulate 12mg from bulk powder, that was a mistake.

Mind sharing where you got the cosmetic grade powder from? ERP quoted me $1000 for 25mg!

Previously I got some off ebay to try but haven't found a cheap price for it.

I almost fell off my chair when I seen this though..... ERP quoted me $1000 for 25mg!
