Yeah though applying just a single gram of GHK-CU on the skin turns out more effective while ending up cheaper overall.
Hi, I have a 50 mg vial of GHK-Cu that I want to apply on the skin. Would combining it with 30 ml of hyaluronic acid be okay?
Mixing GHK cu for topical use
Summary
how to mix GHK-Cu powder with hyaluronic acid serum for topical use and what concentrations work
Users discuss dissolving small amounts of GHK-Cu into hyaluronic acid for face or body application. They report trying 1-3% solutions by weight and note that higher amounts like 1 g per 30 ml are common. Some prefer adding raw powder to an existing serum while others mention ready products. Degradation over weeks even when refrigerated is acknowledged and airless pumps are suggested to slow it.
What this discussion establishes- 1% typical for face, 3% for body
- 500 mg in 30 ml HA gives roughly 1.5%
- 200 mg per 10 ml serum reaches 2%
- 1 g per 30 ml used for a year with no major change noticed
- 15-30% potency loss over 1-2 months even when kept cold and sealed
- airless pump bottles may reduce degradation
whether buying pre-made GHK-Cu creams is worthwhile versus mixing your own from raw powder
Nothing here is advice.

Facial areas usually get around one percent while body skin often reaches three percent strength by mass. Mixing one gram into fifty seven grams equaling two ounces yields roughly one point seven percent. Even when stored cool away from light and tightly closed the potency drops fifteen to thirty percent after thirty to sixty days. Airless pump bottles appear to reduce that breakdown when I store them that way.

I usually handle things this way. Some time ago I came across unprocessed copper peptide at a solid deal. I blend that into the hyaluronic acid serum my friend's partner likes most. She finds it great.

I took the unprocessed blue colored powder and put a gram into thirty milliliters of HA to make a three percent mix that some people might see as too potent. Half a gram gets it near one and a half percent.
Opinions online seem divided. A few mention the concentration appears minimal and the shade often reveals that too. I prefer getting a solid base serum or cream and mixing in the pure form on my own. Quality bases tend to cost more while certain web options come in much cheaper.
Two percent concentration blends nicely into a serum for my needs. One maker offers a solid copper peptide product mixed with additional peptides at low cost. Pure powder in bulk quantities works out cheaper though. In the end it boils down to ease of use.

I plan to prepare several containers filled with a blend of ghk-cu combined with hyaluronic acid inside my 15 milliliter pump dispensers without air. What proportions work best along with the proper technique for accurate dosing? I am ready to purchase any required materials. Thanks
I started out at less but currently use 1 gm per 30 mL. I have used it for a year. No big differences noticed.

I opted for a hyaluronic acid serum holding two percent of that copper peptide. The ratio comes out to two hundred milligrams inside ten milliliters.

Glad you answered back, cheers!
