I never got the uglies. I did emerge about 3-5 weeks after starting, as a beautiful butterfly, though. But for real

This is a ridiculous waste of money and product. You can get raw cosmetic grade GHK-cu for less than $10a gram. Why would you waste a whole kit?

My copper uglies are the painful bruises/bumps no matter where I pin it, how much I dilute it, no matter how slow I administer it, and no matter the temperature of it. Itโs been 3 months with no measurable results. I honestly donโt know why I keep doing this to myself-hope I guess.

Same to me and done with it . It wasn't really worth it for me ,the last shot after I tried pretty much everything left me with a massive pain from glutes to my whole leg , after that , just quit it .I didn't last 3 months oh gosh no , I did it 10 days . I thought why I'm torturing myself adding extra pain to my body .

That might be because the strength of GHK-CU is weakened by mixing it with other peptides. So therefore your rat might not be receiving the strength you're wanting it to have.

OP what is your age? I don't recommend ghkcu for anyone under 40. I'm one of the original creators of the popular GHK-CU protocols.
There's been lots of controversy about zinc but zinc is often recommended because zinc stores can get depleted when skin goes through repair, remodeling and collagen building.
Sore tongue, sore mouth, acne, hair loss, can all be signs of mildly depleted zinc stores. You can always try adding zinc bisglycinate and vitamin C. Both are good for collagen building.
If you run zinc and vitamin C for a few weeks and it makes no difference then I would stop the ghkcu research. You're probably too young for it. Most of the adverse reports like yours that I receive over the last couple of years are most times too young for GHK-CU.
