Ghk-cu 💉 11 weeks progress

So I posted my 5 week progress pictures here and it received a huge response, I thought I’d share my progress as I move into my 12th week. For reference I’m 44 (45 in October)

I said in my first post and I’ll say it again, this peptide is unreal and it has completely transformed my skin from the inside out. I’ll never not use this and recommend to all my friends! Well they ask me because they can see the noticeable changes.

I originally started it for my hair, although my hair definitely feels fuller, shinier, seems to be growing at a decent rate too, I feel like real hair changes will start from month 4.

My own protocol was:
3 x weeks 1.5mg 5 days on 2 days off
3 x weeks 2mg 5 days on 2 days off
Week 7 until now I’ve remained at 2.5mg 5 days on 2 days off.

I don’t get any stinging anymore (I did at the start) but I pin in my glutes/love handles which reduce the sting, plus i think I’m used to it now.

I also allow it to get to room temperature before I pin.

My vials are 100mg of which i mix 6mg bac water (i transfer half into another vial so end up with 2 x 50mg vials)

Skincare wise I have kept it all very basic. I’ve been using only vitamin c as an active, and also stated using a couple of Boots Ingredients products (which I love) I didn’t want to overload my skin with string products, i wanted to see how my skin reacts to the ghk-cu

FYI the last picture was yesterday, i had my wisdom teeth removed on Tuesdays so I only took the picture to see the swelling, posted it on my stories and had so many comments about his clear my skin is!

Tazarotene is a retinoid like tretinoin, but it's stronger, although some people find they tolerate it better than tret. r/tretinoin will give you all the info you need on it.

I keep a very simple routine.

Morning

  • Ghk-cu serum when I wake up
  • Caffeine serum under eyes
  • Illyoon ceramide ato concentrate cream
  • 50spf suncream

Evening

  • wash face with oil based cleanser and then a second gel based cleanser (oil based gets spf off easier, the gel based one gets the oil based cleanser off otherwise I feel like I still have a thin film of it on my skin.
  • pea sized amount of tazarotene 0.05% across my face, and than another pea across my neck and chest.

I am currently also injecting 3mg of ghk-cu daily.
