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.

Where did you get the 10ml airless sprayers?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is where I've ordered my last two batches ; https://carolinachemical.com/product/ghk-cu-powder/

No idea about international shipping.

LNpeptides has it on their CN pricelist ; 10g - $90

And a amazborg listing ; https://www.amazon.com/GHK-Cu-Copper-Peptide-Powder-49557-75-7/dp/B0FNWFWYMN

Binh at BFF carries it in 3g tubes...usually around $10 per gram
Click to expand...
I know I'm a senior, but I cannot find LNPeptides nor Binh at BFF anywhere on this forum.
 
I went with 2-3% GHK-Cu (1% = 100mg of GHK-Cu per 10 ml of serum). To prevent clumping, I dissolved the peptide in about 1ml of BAC water to get it to completely dissolved. Then I added to the serum. Be careful not to over "blend" as it will break down the peptides. I think anything over 3% is not going to add any benefits so do your math and save money.

Search BFF/AMO

Thank you. I should have mentioned that I did find an website "BFFLINK" that says it's under construction.

However, I did a search as "BFF/AMO" and found their email and also it was mentioned that he does not spam the vendors marketplace section; that's where I was looking.

Yeah earlier this year he kind of shut down the website to new people. His prices aren't great for cosmetic and has been sold out of most for the past 6 months.

I wonder if I can get some advice on what to buy. I have discoloration under my eyes. The pic doesn't quite show it properly. I can't even describe what color it is, except that it doesn't match the rest of my face....lol. I got it 2 years ago from not sleeping through the night. I was going through a divorce. Can you suggest a product or peptide that will help ?

This was literally the info I was looking for. I have the powder and the serum but wasn't sure if it would blend better if there was a small amount of BAC involved first. I also saw that it should be refrigerated which is a bit of a PITA

Sorry. The GHK didn't cause it; The divorce did 🙁

I was hoping I can get a recommendation on what to buy or will the GHK serum work ?
I don't want to go to the drug store and have them suggest a bunch of stuff that might not work $$$$$
