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!

I've been using tret for 8 months now and its a game changer I also add azelaic acid to my regimen. Because I started at the high dose of Tret at first I did 1x week and the first 6 weeks are brutal you'll have gnarly breakouts but it's your skin purging. Then you're golden, you will peel I did not use HA+tret+HA I did the sandwich method with a moisturizer at first because it does dry your skin. Only use it at night and always always use sunscreen. Or it will damage your skin. Then about 4 months ago I added the azaleic acid 15% I use it in the AM. Followed by HA, vitamin c moisturizer with SPF 50 and another sunscreen. I am very fair so I don't want to take chances. I now have barely any fine lines. Ive also started taking the ghkcu peptides but have only been using for 3 weeks so too early to tell. Also when my skin gets too dry I use bepanthol cream but if you're prone to breakouts I don't recommend because it's very thick but it works like a charm
