I just found out that SkinActives sells GHK copper. Is this the same as SkinBio's GHK copper peptide?

Its 2ml/0.1% solution - not sure how that compares.

I'd rather stick to something that is made. Dr. Todorov has always stated that copper can be iffy. It's best not to DIY it. You might want to ask him.

It's exceptionally weak, maybe a 5th of what goes into Neova which is already too mild IMHO. Also you've got to be really careful what you mix these GHK CPs with. I'd leave the DIY version.

Molly is right--the SAS copper peptide is exceptionally weak. Hannah has concerns about providing certain actives (copper being one) in concentrations that could result in someone hurting themselves. I found their copper peptide to be too weak to show any benefit for my skin. I then bought the Skin Bio Super Cop. I'm very happy with the Skin Bio.

I agree with Arielle

I use the Super Cp, and love it! It works!

Thanks everyone - I will stick with Neova, and later maybe try Skinbio's GHK serum or creme (cant tolerate 2nd generation). Smile
