Hi skincarefreak. I am using the copper serum and the emu oil. They are actually from dianayvonne.com but same products. I have seen a huge difference. My face seems to be closer to a more natural tone, not red. I have seen a real difference not using the emu oil for more than a week when I was in florida. My face looked like hek, but today it actually is almost back to normal. I even got a compliment on it today
I am waiting on the lacsal to use on my chest and back of hands. I use supercop2x on three spots on my face, but its getting harder to pick out the two on my right side. They have almost filled in. Thats what I am most happy about. |

Skincarefreak, I am using the Skinbio Exfol Cream (AM), and TriReduction P&R as well as Super CP serum (PM) on my tummy for stretch marks. I have not seen any noticeable results, but not sure if it's just my imagination, but I thought my tummy skin seems more smooth.
I also got their BND, and the smell sucks big time. I still use it though. Not sure what it does for me yet.
I am starting to try their Exfol cream and Regular P&R lotion and a tiny bit of CP serum mixed with EMU oil and water on my face. I have been experimenting with a lot of new products (slap my hand), so I can't pinpoint to the cause of the better looking skin, esp around my eyes. I am using Best Bath Store intensive undereye treatment, too, and I think this product really helps.
What do you use yours for, and how are your results? |

I use CP serum, and I have to admit that my skin looks better with it. I cannot say for sure what is the improvement, but it looks healthier.
Also, I use BND, but only for 3 weeks, so I think it's too earlier to see some visible results.
And I agree with Cherisse, it smells sucks. |

Supercop cream gave me blackheads all over my cheeks after 2 weeks. I will never use it again. |

Hi Cherisse,
I use a couple of things on my face, but I also use the copper serum. There are times my face looks great and there are other times that I need to slow down on the usage. I tend to use the cp serum at night. I haven't seen any real remodeling yet, so I thought I'd make this thread and ask to see if anyone else has. |

Hi Skincarefreak
I think I've seen remodelling from Supercopx2 on test patches on my face in the past. Now I'm doing a half face test with Supercop cream (DY sent me the wrong product) - been at it for about 2/3 weeks. I'll be able to say with some certainty if there's any real difference in a few more weeks. I think I really do see changes, but wait ............
I don't think you get remodelling from the lower percentage products. Just much better moisture balance, internally + some firming. |

I've been using the CP serum + emu lipid replenisher every evening for three and a half months now on my face, lips and around my eyes, and my skin looks better than ever before: healthy, radiant, naturally rosy cheeks and lips.
My under-eye lines are a very minor concern now. Same for my 11's.
True, there have been times when my skin got patches that looked dry and wrinkled, but all I had to do was to just not use the CP for a day or two.
The only thing I'm not very happy about is that there is still discolouration due to the sun around my eyes.
I'm thinking of going up to the Super CP serum next time I order.
I tried TriReduction and Exfol on my chest, tummy, buttocks.
Chest: one of the two gave me a rash, so I gave them up, although the skin had already started to look fuller.
Tummy: I'm not sure I'm seeing anything apart from the fact that it's really smooth.
Buttocks: I think I'm seeing both firming and smoothing of my stretchmarks.
By the way, the Exfol has done wonders for the ingrown hairs and red marks due to waxing in my bikini area.
I should also add that I've seen new hair grow on my hairline and my brows also look fuller and I can only attribute this to the CP serum. Since fine and thinning hair is a major concern of mine, I'm seriously thinking of trying Folligen. |

I've got some Folligen Lilome. Unfortunately its quite difficult to use on my scalp because you can't avoid your hair and it makes it unbearably dry and crispy. I wonder if anyone else has found a successful way to use it? |

What a co-inky-dink you posted this. I just got my order in the mail today. Here's what I got:
CP Serum
CP Premier Night Eyes
Super Cop XS
Emu Oil for Hair
Emu Oil for Skin
Calypso oil Patchouli
I will let you know if they do anything magical for me. The way they are described on the skinbio website they should come with fairy dust and a unicorn.
(I swear I am like a child at christmas whenever I get skincare in the mail. I got all excited when I drove up to the house and saw the box at my door. Yeah, I'm a dork.) |

I use BND and love it, seen a great improvement with it.
I also use super cop + emu oil on stretchmarks, and they are slowly fading away.
Very pleased with skin bio. |

Has anyone ordered their skin bio products from Makeup Artist's Choice? Sample wise, they seem to have best bang for your buck. $10 for 1/2 ounce CP Serum vs $7 for 5ml from Diane Yvonne. |

Hi Molly,
I'm with you on the lower percentages not really making a difference, but I can only use the cp serum once a day. I still can't use it without diluting it. I have tried to use it 2x a day in order to move up to the super cp serum and my skin looked terrible! I've been using it for a little over a year.
It's one of those things that if I want that nice dewy look when I go out. I won't use it at all the day before hand. On that particular night that I want to use it before going out, I put squalane on first and then put the cp. serum on. Any suggestions? |

Hi Skincarefreak
I always find your relationship with Skinbio's CPs a strange one. You don't seem to be able to live with them nor without them
I wonder if you have some immediate bad reaction to them rather than the uglies.
I think in my case there is a delayed improvement too. I don't look bad when I'm using the Supercops, but it was only later when I stopped using them that I realised the skin had improved on those patches enormously in terms of density and colour. Maybe while the strong removal of damaged proteins is going on - although the CPs are also stimulating collagen production the progress on that side is levelled out by the loss and when I stop using them the collagen and new proteins build up more thickly. But that's talking over several months so can't compare to your situation. Anyway, I'm waffling.
What should you do? I'd give it up.
There must be some other products you could use to stimulate your skin repair. How about an overnight silicone based L-Ascorbic treatment, a retinoid or some peptides? |

I just called Skinbio to help answer my question on the order of applications as I am now trying their stuff on my face. (I bought it for my stretch marks on the tummy.) I also have Candy's Triple C, DMAE Serum, moisturizer, toner, and sunscreen to worry about. I was so confused about what should go on first.
The person at Skinbio told me I should forget about the toner. (Bye bye toner)
She said the Exfol Cream should always be the first to go. It is NOT a moisturizer or lotion. You can put things on top of it.
So in the AM, here is what she told me to do:
* Clean my face and dry it
* Put on the Exfol Cream
* Put on the Triple C serum
* Put on the DMAE serum
* Put on the moisturizer
* Put on sunscreen
DONE
In the PM, gets more complicated:
* Clean my face and dry it
* Put on the TriReduction P&R or the regular P&R lotion
* Put on the Super CP Serum (she said you can put this on right after the P&R lotion and she recommended spot treating only as this stuff is strong, so for me I will just put it on my sunspots I need to fade out)
* Put on any DMAE serum if desired
* Put on moisturizer (night treatment cream)
* Put on eye cream (like my best bath store undereye intensive treatment)
DONE
Woohoo! I am so glad someone could answer my question. It's not rocket science after all. |

I've only been using a few months but I do think the CP has helped the facial skin look more evenly toned. I use once a day but my friend who ordered the same time I did slaps it on am and pm and looks great. He loves Copper Peptides and asked me or order the next step up. I never got what people refer to as "the uglies". I've also used on my breats and feel they've improved more than anything. A word of warning, my nipples changed colors and grew quite large. I'm not sure if this is the CP or DMAE. It was quite surprising.

Hi Molly,
I don't think I should give up. I'm not exactly sure why you would suggest that, since I've stated that I can use them once a day. For whatever reason, my skin has a hard time with using it too much. Btw, I don't have an immediate reaction. My skin is dryer and the lines look deeper but once I back of my skin goes back to normal. I use the cp serum at night after tazorac or the Bioclear. In the morning I either use a vitamin C or matrixyl 3000.
Thank you for your suggestion, but I was hoping to find a way to make it work with the use of them. Anyhow, thank you. |

Sorry, I just thought from what you were saying about not liking to use them the night before you want to look nice then perhaps they didn't suit you. |

Skincarefreak, the lady at skinbio said that the super CP serum should be used as a spot treatment as it's very strong. Lots of people said you need to dilute it with water and emu oil. |

Hi again Molly: Maybe I didn't make myself clear in the beginning my lines deeper and my skin looks dryer when I have signs of overuse (2x a day), but when I slow down it goes back to normal.
Cherisse: Thank you for letting me know. I"m sure there are some people who may not be able to use th higher level copper peptides. I'm probably one of them. I was just hoping to be able to start remodeling my skin and the best way to do that is by using the higher level cp's. |

Hi Skincarefreak
I know you sometimes go to the Skinbio forum. I've been dredging through all the posts trying to find percentages recently and I see that Dr P is still saying he's going to introduce an 'intense' GHK-cu, but he's having trouble finding the right suppliers - purity issues apparantly.
I'd wait for that. I know I'm going to be trying it. (just in case you missed it ) |

I was reading their forum, and found it...disturbing and off putting. People were told not to post complaints, and that only customers of their products were allowed to post. This makes me NOT want to buy their products. Why would that Dr. be so averse to challenging questions?
SO glad this forum isn't like that. I'd run the other way. ALL opinions are valid, nothing like a good debate/positive/negative to learn from. |

I tried the tca cross method on a couple of my pitted acne scars, and have been using the super cop on those scars. It has just been about 5 days but I already see a difference.I am so excited, but taking this whole thing very slowly.
I have also started using the cp serum diluted with water 3 times a week. |
