for my eyes.
i ordered it from skin biology.
The owner was super nice and even had 15 min phone consultation. She helped me decide on what product to purchase. Very Informative!

I can't wait till my product gets here so I can use around my eyes. I know it takes lots of "Patience" and consistency and I'm ready to see the amazing results people have been raving about!

GHK cream is my new favorite LOVE at skin biology although I use Night eyes combined with a lovely oil for that area. I'm sure you'll like using the GHK cream - The results are S-L-O-W but steady.

Thanks everyone!

I've read that it takes up to ONE YEAR to get the FULL BENEFITS of copper peptide.
As of right now, I am using Tua Viso, 15% AHA and retinol 2%

You'll want to use your GHK at opposite end of the day as the AHA.

Yes, I asked the owner at skin biology how to apply all 3 products.

She said i can apply GHK on during the day or night.. I can use it day and retinol at night OR i can apply retinol first at night and wait 10min and then apply GHK.

For the AHA, she said that it's best to NOT use GHK when I do the AHA peel, which i do 1-2 a month. I read exfoliation speeds up the copper peptide for the BETTER

This is what I have learned from reading the forums at Skin Bio. The people at Skin Bio give conflicting answers on product usage sometimes. The question of whether you can use Vitamin C serum and CPs still does not have a definitive answer. I think they are changing their opinion on this one and saying it is ok to use them together now. They told me to use Retin A and the GHK at opposite times of the day. Maybe the same does not apply to retinol. It really gets confusing because you don't want to render the CPs useless by combining them with other actives. Here is their response to me. http://healthyskin.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/5990018252/m/5161018995?r=4361060006#4361060006
Since GHK is too fragile to use with Retin A, I was wondering why it can be used with the Skin Signals Cream. This contains GHK as well.

GHK is more fragile than the second gens (CP's) Tasha so you want to be more careful with them.
I would separate use of AHA's and C serums but I do not recall you using them.

I love CP's and GHK's. I've used them for over two years with a hiatus in between but came back a long while back and will never stop. They are my long-term anti-aging solution. GHK is wonderful and can be used everywhere without a problem - face, neck and eyes. I'll be getting my third batch of cream real soon. I also use Skin Signals: both cream and serum and believe in these too.

I've had wonderful results around the eye area - with premier eyes and now night eyes - with oil. Eventually I will stop oil and use night eyes straight on.
I have extremely little to no wrinkling at all. This took a while to get to. I have also discovered that CP's create a tightening effect to the skin. This is particularly noticeable to the lower face. I do facial exercises also and use a remarkable product for short - long term results called Ageless Secret Gold and Diamond. I also use the antiaging light stim. These for me are the ticket to really youthful looks. That's it..!!!!

Thanks! i am taking everything very slowly.
I thought about ordering Light Slim LED too, but was skeptical. Does it really work?
Tua viso is AMAZING and LOVE the results i'm getting even though ive been consistently using it for a whole month.

Oh yes. I highly recommend the AALS. It's the real deal.

Bermie2 and sistersweets

What great results especially the eye area (puffy/bags, texture, firm/lift, etc) are you getting using the LED device and how long did it before you noticed a difference?? Very Happy

I have been using my LED (mine is a proton)for about 10 months approx. You have to be consistent with it. I noticed a slight plumping effect in general. Also I had one line on the side of each eye which has faded. I wish I had taken photos, but I didn't, so its hard to be exact.
With CP's I have been using them about 6-7 months. I don't find them 'cosmetically' appealing (hard to explain)the smell is not great, and the colour is bit strange but they definitely do something!! I use Night Eyes Premier around my eye area and it has helped with firming, and puffiness. But you have to be patient with the eyes especially. I started with P & R then the night eyes premier, and I am just about to order the regular night eyes. I will definitely continue to use them. I am looking forward to seeing the results after a year.

Thanks!

So is the LED for lines? Because i am pretty young and don't have any lines just puffy eyes.
The tua viso is doing its job *Thumbs up* and also gives that plumping effect. Maybe i should hold off on the LED?

For your puffy eyes, have you considered the High Frequency machine? That might work for that area. The CPs work great for lines, sun-damaged skin and firming. Not so sure they do much in the puffy arena.

Also, do you have allergies? That could contribute to puffiness. Or do you get enough sleep? There might be other things to consider w/ puffy eyes.

I have used GHK cream and the CP accelerator for over a year with good results,its slow but you don't get the uglies. I use around eyes and I have not used a separate eye cream for over 9 months just the GHK and CP accelerator.I also use the LED before any products.For me the GHK has done alot for my eyes.HTH.

Hi Leggy,

It is good to hear you have used both near your eyes without any problems, can you refresh my memory are your eyes typically sensitive or did you just have some issues with a reaction (to a different product) at one point? I have the GHK serum and cream no cp accelerator yet, but have been a bit leery of use around the eyes. Very Happy

TIA

Hi DM,

The only time my eyes were sensitive was when I was using the lash serums,as soon as I started with the Notch it cleared up.It did take a couple of weeks for all the redness to clear but after that my eyes were fine.
The GKH cream is very gentle and I put it on top as well as bottom. It does take a while. Eyes creams,and I have used so many just don't do anything for lines or at least in my case.

You are the one who put me on to the Notch and that has worked very well,Thanks again
Riley told me about lemon bio and the little exfo stick for lip lines and I am still using it with great success.So no brown spots,longer lashes,lip lines no,what more can I ask for.

Hey, Leggy, can you share what the GHK has done for your skin? I love the GHK serum and I use that around my eyes, as well! I am still waiting for something visible with the CP's, but I know they take a long time, just like Retin A, so I am plugging on!

Thanks Leggy,

Love the long lashes, funny it is one of the few things that doesn't irritate my eyes! Noth lash serum that is.

I will just have to take the plunge and try the GHK on my eye area, treading cautiously and see how it goes. Laughing The bane of my beauty issues eyes that are just insanely sensitive!

DM - just go really, really slow with it. Try it only a few days a week and then move up in applications after that.
