For a lot of people, me included, it burns and causes bruises, welts, and red patches. My stomach is a mess. The last 2 days I've been injecting into my glute, and while it still burns and feels tender, there hasn't been any bruising, welts, or redness so far.

Seems like everyone agrees: stick it in the butt

With anything aimed at better skin or hair, you typically won't see changes until at least 6 months have passed. A single skin cycle runs 4-6 weeks, and each one brings only slight gains, so real visible results need multiple months to show up.

This person has solid standing in peptide research, having studied them since 2001, and she has also trained under Dr. William A Seeds MD, the author behind "Peptide Protocols".cheaperseeker said:

GLOW has been part of my routine for multiple months now, and I've taken a few breaks along the way. The results: my skin feels far smoother, the hard, split calluses that used to be on my heels are gone, and both my hair and nails are growing at a quicker pace.ThatNextGril said:
For roughly 3 weeks now, I've been injecting GHK-cu together with KPV every day. Beyond my face clearing up (which is honestly a massive plus), I can't really claim I'm seeing other benefits, and I do want to stick with them. But I've gone down that rabbit hole where nobody seems to agree on the right duration: some people on here mention running KLOW daily for months (!), while others follow different cycles, whether it's the blue juice on its own or combined.
My main concern is not losing whatever GHK is doing for me, and I'm worried that if I take a break for a cycle, the breakouts will come back. I've been thinking about maybe using a topical form during the off period, but I'm not sure whether that would be pointless?
Has anyone here used GHK-cu long enough to share their experience? I'll probably play it safe and continue until the 6 week mark, then take 4 weeks off, even though I really don't want to.
When I pause it, some of those gains do fade slightly. That said, I came across something recently from Anela(?) — the doctor behind the GLOW protocol — where she stated that cycling off isn't necessary. A few other people have told me the same thing, so from here on out I plan to stay on it without stopping.
She isn't a physician. For years she's been involved with peptides in a non-public, personal capacity. That means her hands-on anecdotes are broader than what most people bring. But when it comes to the quality of her "research" and "data" — none of it would meet the bar of genuine academic scrutiny.cheaperseeker said:

Calling her a student doesn't even fit. There's a photo she's shared from a Hawaii conference, but she was only there as an attendee. On many points she actually parts ways with him — she's said so herself.laansasa said:

Everything I'm going on comes from what she's posted on Reddit. Things like her TBI and the recent sad situation with her dog. For all anyone knows, it could be made up online. After all, even the GHK-Cu skin serum she frequently promotes contains flawed concentration math.

I came across something saying she used to work as a medical journalist and was a student of his, though you're right - who knows!yrrdead said:

For 2 months now I've been injecting KLOW. Into KLOW80 I added 3 ml of diluent, and there has been zero stinging, no pain, and no swelling. My skin looks better than before, and pain that has been chronic in my shoulder and knee is now 85% gone.
