Well, I'm getting educated on this site,and my samples have begun arriving from all across the net. I was especially looking forward to trying Copper Peptides, and I ordered several samples of the products on NCN. Here's my take on some of them after 4 days:

The first day, I diluted the CP with distilled water, since then I've been using it straight with no adverse effects. So far, so good.

*edited to remove home base business product*

I also ordered a sample of "I'm Covered" Day Lotion. I've worn it twice, with and without makeup, and it makes me look like I'm getting ready to be a ghoul on Halloween, very pasty on my already pale skin. I also ordered some makeup samples, and I tried mixing one of those w/ the lotion, but it didn't help.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. I'm totally new to these things, and I may just not be using them right.

I'd contact her directly, my accelerator has a lavender scent and isn't grainy at all. She'll help you with your questions.

Thank you, Marina. I was hoping that wasn't the best I could hope for.

Just a post script to say that Nanci at NCN and I finally made contact, and she is a wonderful lady, went above and beyond to resolve my problem. I'll be ordering more from her soon when I graduate to a stronger CP serum, which by the way, I love.

I too recently tried Copper Peptides for the first time, and I too followed all the advice; started out slowly, diluted with water, etc etc etc. But the result for me was 'the uglies' especially on my decolletage, where a few barely noticeable creases (from sleeping on my side) suddenly looked like a dried-up piece of leather. I know many experienced this as a temporary condition before witnessing results, but I'm afraid I was unwilling to put myself through it. For now, I've abandoned it and am sticking with alternating Vit C, Retin A + Remergent DNA Repair Formula.
