Can anyone here explain the pros and cons of pinning CU over topical?

Ghk-cu is 500 daltons which is too large to penetrate the skin deep enough to truly have a sufficient effect. It would have to be encapsulated, along with micro needling to be more beneficial as a topical. Whereas injecting it, it’s being absorbed into your bloodstream and you’re getting more of the compound than you would if you were only doing topical treatments

Shouldn't this apply to every topical

Like, injection vs topical cause systemic

It all depends on how large the molecules are. Like people going crazy over this salmon sperm crap (PDRN). That sht is way over 500 daltons 😬 There are plenty of face serums that are small enough to penetrate the skin and have an actual benefit but a lot of this crap being marketed is… crap

It also helps if the retinal/peptide has been encapsulated

Salmon Bukkake. Hot.

Then it will be able to be absorbed better

What’s wrong with it?

Oh, nothing. I have some congestion that I can clear up w/an oil cleanse or a BHA. Outside of that, no fine lines or wrinkled at all. Maybe a little hyperpigmentation here or there. But I'm really interested in skin peps. I had a buddy who was 25 who took klow for 2 months and he looked 16 again LOL.

Overall, I'm probably the most interested in developing maintaining collagen/elastin

Yeah I can’t suggest klow enough

You could get some tretinoin from an India pharmacy, start with 0.025% cream

I was gonna start with some otc adapalene cause I don't know how I'd react

Snap 8 is like topical botox so it’s not something that would benefit you since you don’t have any wrinkles or anything. Ahk-cu is better for hair growth

Yeah that’s a good idea

Make sure to apply a moisturizer after to lock it all in

Yeah, I was going to do a heavy moisturizer and if that's too occlusive, then I was going to sandwich a lighter one

Sandwiching is good if you’re not sure how your skin will tolerate it but if you find it’s not irritated or peeling I’d skip the first layer of moisturizer because you’ll just been creating a little barrier which would make it harder for the adapalene to be absorbed

For sure, sandwiching is my option if reg moisturizer doesn't work
