Help with GHK-cu serum

[john_askins]

I bought some GHK-cu powder and some hyaluronic acid serum to make my own. Took 1g of the powder and dissolved it in 2mL distilled water. It seemed like it was all dissolved. Added it to the HA serum bottle and mixed it by shaking and rolling for about 10 minutes. The next day, all the ghk seemed to settle to the bottom of the bottle. I had to shake vigorously with my hand to mix it up again. Any suggestions to make it stay in suspension better? Or does someone have a better idea to mix it up before using it? I was thinking one of those milk frother things that have a spinning motor and making a device that would fit in the bottle.

I mix 1g powder directly into a 30ml hyaluronic acid serum called The Ordinary. It mixes in fine without first mixing with water. How much of the HA serum are you adding it to?

I do the 1g mixed with 2mL water and then add to 30mL HA serum (Good Molecules on Amazon). how do you mix it?

I am a loyal The Ordinary hyra consumer, this is genius. Probably well known recipe around here, but as a newb I am awestruck. Thanks to OP for the thread and thank you for dropping this nugget,

I just dump it in and then stir it with a thin coffee stirrer and shake it like crazy.

I did this and discovered a gelatinous mass at the bottom of the bottle. Apparently, it can be HA that emulsifies...

I have a small mixer/frother, way too strong for this. Look up a tattoo ink mixer on amazon/temu.

Do peptide sellers sell cosmetic grade?

yep, bought a small "vortex mixer" used for small paint and it worked like a charm. we'll see if it says mixed up or if it settles again. thanks
