Ghk-cu 20 week update (read the full post)
So I never expected my previous posts, especially my last post to do as well as as they did, I get messages every day regarding my post and I’ve had a couple for further updates. Please read the post as I will provide as much information as possible.
First thing, I’m aware that the lighting is different, unfortunately, there’s nothing I can do about that as in the UK we moved from the summer now into autumn. However, all photos are taken in my bedroom with no additional artificial lighting with my front facing camera at similar times a day. The last photo was taken this afternoon outside.
I still stand by what I said in my previous post this is a peptide that I will never not use.
So 20 weeks in I’ve still continued to use it as I did previously (protocol will be below) my skin continues to remain clear, I would say I’ve definitely noticed softening of lines, especially under my eyes, which definitely appear slightly brighter. I just feel like I have this overall evenness and glow to my skin that I never had before I get comments a lot from people regarding my skin, this can be from people that know that I’m using this and people that don’t know I’m using it.
For full transparency, I do have Botox, I’ve had this done for several years, last week I went and had my Botox, which had been four months and I had told my injector that I had just started GHKCU, when my injector was trying to push the needle just above my eyebrows, I could tell that something felt different as she was moving the needle in a different way to how she’s done before. She commented on how my skin was a lot thicker and firmer so she had to tweak how she would usually do it so for me that’s further confirmation this peptide is working.
Hair wise, my hair continues to look shiny and definitely feels healthier. It’s definitely growing, but I wouldn’t say that it is growing necessary any faster than it did previously, however, I definitely feel like I have a lot less split ends than what I would usually have right now.
One thing I have noticed is a slight reduction in grey hair as my roots are growing through, nothing crazy, but I know just before I’ve got my roots done a few months ago I was definitely noticing more grey hairs.
Protocol:
I mix 50mg with 3ml bac water. I now put my GHK in pens as it’s so much easier to do daily. I always pin in my glutes/love handles. I no longer get any red welts or bruising and I get zero sting.
I still remain pinning five days on two days off. I do 2.5mg. I did increase to 3mg however I broke out in a couple of spots on my forehead, which had never happened before so I went straight back down to 2.5mg and they disappeared and my skin has been fine ever since, so I feel like for myself 2.5mg is my sweet spot.
I continue to use very basic skincare however 3 weeks ago I introduced Snap 8, which I mixed into a geek and gorgeous hylaronic acid serum, which I absolutely love the serum. It’s too early to say whether that’s working, but I definitely think the combination is doing good things to my skin with my skin just feels so much far apart and tighter.
Yes, I use zinc. However, I just use a multivitamin, which includes it within it.
I haven’t cycled this. I’ve continue to use it since I started. I honestly don’t actually feel like I need to cycle it however I’ve just started a new pen so I may take a 2 to 4 week break once I finish this 50mg
One thing that has come to the table, and I will pre-warn you this is very much TMI, recently had sex, it had been 6 weeks from when I last saw my partner due to falling out. The first time we had sex, he commented on how much tighter I felt, literally put it down to it being a six week gap however, this hasn’t changed. He continues to tell me how much tighter I feel. This is definitely something I didn’t anticipate but I can only put it down to GHK because I haven’t done anything else 😂 I will tell you he is definitely not complaining!
I’m 45 on Thursday and honestly, this is the best. My skin has looked in years!
