Just like the title says, Im making a serum with GHKcu in 30ml bottles for myself and a few friends and wanted to add some SNAP8 as well. I am going to use 0.5g per 30ml bottle of GHKcu (for a 1.6% solution) to make it potent but still ok for around the eye and sensitive areas. Found a good deal on amazon for a pure HA serum with no additives like B and C vitamins (10oz for $20). Now adding the SNAP8…. I have a kit of 10mg SNAP8 on the way and don’t know how much to add once I reconstitute it. The only thing ive seen is to reconstitute a 8mg vial and add it to a 50ml bottle of HA. So that means in i have a 10mg vial and am using 30ml bottles, then 1 10mg vial would be good for 2 bottles of the serum I’m making… if my approx math is correct. Anyone else make their own serum or skin using SNAP8? How did you mix it and in what amounts? Any info is greatly apppreciated!

For SNAP 8, I reconstituted 10mg with 1ml of BAC and added it to a 30ml bottle of serum.

What Louise said. Don't know if you've read to let it sit for 20 mins to reconstitute fully before adding to the serum.
Awesome!
Thanks! What was your experience with it? Did you see a difference when using it? Did you just use snap8 or did you also use GHKcu or other peptides or ingredients in yours? Just very curious as in the long run it’s way cheaper than what people are charging for high end serums but still an expensive endeavor none the less. Thanks again for the info!

I have only been using it for a couple of months, but I do feel like it has made my skin more radiant and smoother/softer. I get Botox only for my 11s, so I do have some fine lines on my forehead and around my eyes. I can't tell yet if it's helping with those. I also use GHK-Cu, but in a different serum (as well as a body lotion). They could be mixed together but I like having them separate for no reason other my personal preference.

And if RS does IM, would you please share your favorite site?
Do you do the same for the GHKcu? (1 gram mixed with 30ml of HA? I mean after reconstituting it first.) If so do you reconstitute it with purified water or BAC water? And do you use that in serum or just add the concoction to cream? If cream is it like a 1oz jar? Sorrry for all of the questions but its hard to find this info as ive searched the interwebs tirelessly and fond very little.

No problem! I mainly follow Anela's protocol for the serums and body lotion.
Yes, 1 gram of the cosmetic grade GHKCu to 30ml HA serum. I actually didn't reconstitute it, just mixed it directly in the serum. I found the easiest way to do this was to empty the serum bottle into a small plastic baggie and then add the GHKCu powder into the bag and gently mix it together with my fingers. Then I snip a small corner off the baggie and put it back into the serum bottle. For the cream, I just add the powder directly into the container as it mixes in easier than a serum. I use a small sterile metal tool to mix the cream.
Awesome! Appreciate the info. When making the cream, you add the 1 gram to how much cream? Ive seen anywhere from 1.0-1.7 ounces of cream like cerave (sp?) Also saw its better to use cream with less additives like vitamins and such. Any experience?

I use a 1.69oz (50ml) container of The Body Shop body butter. I got it off Amazon, I think it's only about $7-8 per container.

Hello..a couple of questions for you if you don't mind. Once reconstituted, are you adding the 1ml of 10mg SNAP-8 to a 30ml bottle and then filling the bottle with something like vegetable glycerin?After reconstitution, SNAP-8 shelf-life is anywhere from 7 - 30 days, are you adding anything to encapsulate this and extend it? Thanks.
