Actually...
GHK-CU at Skinactives has 2ml, at $10.50/bottle.
GHK-CU at Skinbiology has either 15ml at $37.77/bottle, OR 50ml at $97.77/bottle.
If you look closely, Skinbiology is much cheaper. If Skinbiology is selling at $97.77 per 50ml bottle, it comes to $3.9108 per 2ml. |

no, skinactives sells concentrated ingredients, you're not supposed to use it directly.
Check out the usage tab, 10ml tube makes 4 fl cream once you mix it with your cream of choice. |

Ah, then it is a different story then!  I looked at the price only. But of course, concentrated BHK-CU is more expensive because of the pureness and concentration. Well, tried copper peptides (from forum members' feedback) but did not like it at all. Gave it to my mom to finish the bottle from Skin Biology....
I think many forum members reviewed these favorably but I am not sold..... I guess, depending on skin types and what condition is your skin... |

Skinactives' isn't pure copper peptides - it's a .1% solution with glycerin and preservative added.
It's not really possible to make a proper price comparison, as we don't know the percentage in the Skinbio serum.
I'm going to try the SkinActives GHK in my own body lotion, which I like better than anything else I've ever tried, and I don't want to start using another kind. |

| newusernew: well, Immacolata may know more about copper peptides than me since she is very familiar with the products. And she is saying that Skinactives is not pure either, so? |

Skinbio copper peptides is not pure either. No one on earth will sell 100% copper peptide, that could burn skin.
Here's a post by Dr. Pickart on skinbio forum, go figure...My personal testimonial is after 4 months useage, cp doesn't help sunken acne scars.

Skin Biology needs new testimonials about our products. While thousands of clients have sent testimonials about our products that we used onwww.reverseskinaging.com, the FDA does not want any that suggest the cosmetics products actually do anything. So we had to remove almost all of our product testimonials. They also made us remove any science references from our product descriptions.
So for people who like our products, we would be grateful if you could write up your comments. Don't say things like "my scars were reduced", but rather say something like " I was very happy that my scars became unnoticeable and a beautiful stranger told me how gorgeous my skin appeared and flew me off to Paris in his private jet".
For every testimonial that we can use, we will give a free bonus product on your next order. For example - 5 useful testimonials would equal 5 bonus products on your next regular order. |

The FDA has really been cracking down lately. Lancome is one that comes to mind. But not only on cosmetics - the place I buy e-cigarettes from asked that people not submit testimonials that say that ecigs helped them quit smoking, because that markets them as a drug - even though they do help people quit smoking. I guess the FDA considers product testimonials as marketing - I can see why, since a lot of people do use them for marketing.
Off topic, but I noticed something new on Owndoc for indented scars - a pump that you use in conjunction with needling? Do you know what I'm talking about? That might could help you - you already do needling, right? |

Lancome is very overpriced IMO. I have nothing nice to say about its products other than elegant packaging and pleasant scent.
I wouldnt buy from owndoc any more. Sarah is too eager to carry new products and doesn't have enough power to control the quality and she looks for factories in China to manufacture her products. she's got complaints about her dermaroller having bent needles, needles fell off, suction pump made from cheapest plastics and causes bruises and blisters. I'm not a big fan of her customer service either. She's moody all the time. |

Oh her cp facial masks ingredients are not what the manufacturer told her either, thats why it's priced at $4. She just want to get rid of them.
And she said her cp serum has 0.2% cp? Skinactives sell cp at 0.1% and it's to be mixed with 4fl cream. Cp at 0.2% as a serum may well cause collegan breakdown.
In short, owndoc carries low quality products made by cheap unreliable manufacturers. I don't trust the quality and won't buy from them.
I do use a suction pump. It gives nice temporary results on sunken scars, but scars always go back to look the same as before after one day. |

Immacolata, did you ever add the Skinactives GHK to your body lotion and if so, what was your experience? Any noticeable difference?
Thanks! |
