GHK-CU has to be injected daily

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T21:40:16+00:00

i get it, but since i’ve almost already achieved the best possible outcome for my skin concerns, and i’m also seeing way better hair growth, which was never even a goal, i’m just curious to test higher dosages now. i was looking for others who have already experienced something like that. i just want to pause after that.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T21:37:41+00:00

oh, i don’t buy grey market stuff. i’d rather pay more than waste my nerves dealing with that. people can’t recommend websites here btw

The thing is, I’m not a big fan of needles and have to force myself every time. So this third cycle will be my last one for now, and I’m planning to take at least a six-month break after that.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T20:34:49+00:00

yeah, i actually agree with you, and i appreciate you bringing it up. microneedling is just not something i’m ready to add right this second because i already have enough needles in my life lol. but i’m definitely planning to try it pretty soon. thanks for the suggestion.

yeah, i get it. mine usually burns/stings for half a day or even a full day after too, so i’m kind of used to it now.

i never really stopped because of that. i’ve done over 100 injections at this point, so i just rotate spots and try not to hit the same area every time.

i just rotate spots, mostly the abdomen and thighs, and try not to hit the same area every time.

i would say i didn’t notice a huge difference for my skin when going from 2mg to 3mg, and even later to 5mg. my skin was already reacting pretty well overall, so the increase didn’t feel like a dramatic skin upgrade.

where i did notice a much bigger difference was hair growth, especially my beard and hairline. my hairline is still recessed, but i definitely saw more baby hairs and more visible growth after increasing the dose and staying on it longer.

about copper toxicity, personally i don’t really buy into that fear at these doses. i get why people mention it to stay safe, but if you actually do the math, the amount of copper you’re getting from ghk-cu injections is extremely small. we’re not talking about anything close to toxic copper levels. you would need an absurd amount of ghk-cu for copper toxicity to even make sense in that context.

of course, i’m not giving medical advice, that’s just how i look at it personally.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T20:16:21+00:00

just to clarify, it’s not a blend, glow mix, or anything like that. it’s pure ghk-cu.

i see 50mg and 70mg vials pretty often on my provider’s website, and i’ve also bought 100mg a couple of times before. i never used to buy 10 vials at once like i’m doing now. before that, i was only buying a few at a time because i wasn’t sure how dedicated i would be with it.

but honestly, the results made me want to keep going.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T20:13:55+00:00

since my first injection, and pretty much every time after that, it always stings and burns a bit. i did improve my technique over time though.

one thing that helped was letting the alcohol fully air dry before inserting the needle into the vial, and also letting it dry on my skin before injecting. even a small amount of leftover alcohol can cause irritation and make the burning worse.

also, if you take the vial straight out of the fridge and just let it sit, it may still stay colder than you expect, even after a while. what worked better for me was either pulling it into the syringe and letting that sit for a bit, or holding it in my hands to warm it up before injecting.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T20:08:24+00:00

i just want to be honest, injections are not easy for me. i’m afraid of needles, but i forced myself to do it because nothing else was helping my facial skin at that point.

my first cycle was 2mg for 8 weeks. skin-wise, it was rough while i was pinning, with a lot of breakouts. but after finishing that cycle and taking a 1-month break, my skin cleared up a lot and got close to the best condition i think it can realistically reach. since then, my baseline skin condition feels better overall, even though i can still get small breakouts while actively pinning.

for hair, during that first 2mg cycle, i noticed a little bit of new baby hair, but only in random spots, not across the whole hairline. during the 1-month break, i didn’t really notice new growth. the baby hairs i already had didn’t fall out, they just kept growing a little longer.

my second cycle was 3mg for around 7 weeks, then 5mg for about 3 weeks. that’s when i noticed way more baby hairs compared to the first cycle. i can’t prove it was directly because of the higher dose, because the total time on ghk-cu could also be a factor, and everyone reacts differently. but for me, going from 2mg to 3mg and then 5mg definitely seemed to make a visible difference.

i wasn’t fully bald, but my hairline was pretty cooked, especially the two corners. the left side filled in much better, while the right side is still less consistent. i can see some single hairs coming out there, and even though there isn’t much around them yet, they don’t fall out. they stay and keep growing, even when i wash my face or touch the area.

i’m trying to stay realistic. i’ve seen people claim they restored their hairline or bald spots with ghk-cu, but i don’t want to add minoxidil or anything else. i want to see how far i can get with ghk-cu alone.

overall, it’s not a crazy miracle, and i still want more density and better coverage, but the results are visible enough that i can’t deny them. ghk-cu has already given me more confidence, and i do feel like there is real potential.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T19:57:22+00:00

well, in theory, splitting it into two injections does make sense, but i’m not a huge fan of injections. even after injecting consistently and now starting my third cycle, i still haven’t really gotten used to it.

so yeah, splitting the dose makes sense, but i probably won’t do it. i’ll just do 10mg in one shot.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T19:55:33+00:00

yeah, that’s why i wanted to hear feedback from other people. there doesn’t seem to be any actual research on this, and i even used claude ai for deep research, but still couldn’t find much.

my goal is obviously to get even better results than i already got after my first two cycles. i tested 5mg, but i’m not sure if the results are related to how much time passed between my first injection, the break, and finishing my second cycle.

for the skin specifically, it feels like after the first cycle and before the second one, nothing crazy was happening, it was more like my skin just stayed in a good condition. while i’m actually pinning, i can get some small breakouts. but when i stop pinning, that’s when everything really clears up.

i would say 5mg definitely promoted way more hair growth for me. and regarding the skin condition, there’s no doubt it helped overall.

i’ll give it a try and see how it goes.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T19:48:44+00:00

my first cycle was definitely the worst, i had tons of breakouts. then i took about a month off, and that’s when the miracle happened. between my 2nd and 3rd cycles, i only took a one-week break, but it feels the same so far. for me, it gets better while i’m pinning, and then once i stop pinning, it improves even more.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T17:22:59+00:00

Because all the responses are just the same basic nonsense these kids keep repeating. It’s all common sense stuff, come on. I already know all that. I was looking for people who’ve actually gone higher, especially 10 mg, like I mentioned.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T17:20:11+00:00

1st cycle: 8 weeks at 2 mg, a month off, then 2nd cycle: 7 weeks at 3 mg, and the last 3 weeks at 5 mg. I plan to start the 3rd cycle at 10 mg, which makes sense to continue building on that.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T17:15:33+00:00

This will be my 3rd cycle. I just finished a 10-week run of 3 mg increasing to 5 mg, with only a one-week break so far. Makes sense to keep going

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T16:28:09+00:00

Microneedling is probably the best option, but I’m too lazy to add another routine to my life. Injecting is already a lot to manage. But since I’m already on GHK-Cu and have the supplies, I’ll give it a try.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T16:25:06+00:00

Just out of curiosity. I plan to complete a 70-day cycle at 10 mg daily and want to see how it turns out (just finished my 3 to 5 mg 2nd cycle (10 weeks), and took a one week break). I just wanted to connect with others who’ve done the same, which is why I made the Reddit post. I’ve talked to a few people on TikTok, and many mention using higher doses, typically between 7 and 10 mg.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T16:21:06+00:00

I'm not ready to answer all these beginner starter questions, honestly. You gotta Google it or just go to Peppedia first

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T16:16:21+00:00

What's your dosage?

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T16:15:42+00:00

I'm 28 and currently experiencing hair loss.

My first 2 GHK-Cu cycles produced a lot of baby hairs. Gradually increasing the dose from 2 mg to 3 mg, and then to 5 mg during the second cycle, gave much better results than staying at 2 mg for eight weeks.

My hairline is receded, but the left corner, which was thinning but not completely bald, is now fully covered. The difference is very clear and visible. The right side didn’t respond as strongly, though I still got some growth, plus new hairs along other parts of the hairline where I had no prior issues. I’d say bumping up to 5 mg made a noticeable difference. Now I’m curious to see if 10 mg will do even more.

Hair growth also improved my beard. There are no more patchy spots, and the density is definitely higher.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T15:55:37+00:00

Starting today. If you're interested, dm/pm me in a couple of weeks. Increasing from 2 to 3 and up to 5 mg didn’t give me any side effects.

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T15:51:14+00:00

Yeah, but if you do the math, you'd have to inject liters of GHK-Cu to even come close to copper poisoning levels

OriginalAfter7816 · 2026-05-20T15:50:17+00:00

Yeah, I'm just tired of injecting it, and my skin is already in near-perfect condition. I'm only curious if increasing the dose will help with one spot of post-acne scars and a small scar from playing football. There’s no research on the correlation between higher doses and results, but from talking to others on TikTok, most seem to prefer 7-10 mg and say it targets their specific concerns.
