Understand the Difference
Topical peptides like GHK-Cu are applied directly to skin, no injections required.
Injectable-grade and cosmetic-grade formulations differ significantly in purity and concentration.
Ensure you are using a product specifically formulated for topical use.
Cleanse the Application Area
Cleanse the target skin area thoroughly with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser.
Pat dry completely, do not apply to wet skin.
Avoid using retinoids or acids immediately before application as they can compromise absorption.
Pro Tip
A clean, slightly damp (not wet) skin surface after cleansing is ideal, pores are open and absorption is maximised.
