My wife’s friend, who is black, mentioned to her that there’s a skin condition among black people that leaves the skin “ashy.” I had no idea. This woman is already using Reta and was curious whether GHK or Klow given subQ might improve her skin. I tried googling, but AI gave me basically nothing useful. So I’m asking: does anyone here—especially if you are black—have any firsthand experience with this? Maybe we can help her out.

Thanks in advance.

GHK does good things for skin generally, in my experience.

Thanks! Could you give me some sense of how effective it is for the "ashy" issue, so I can give her an honest answer—or does it vary from person to person?
 
I’m Black myself, and ashy isn’t something I’ve ever known as a condition. Perhaps regular moisturizing is what she needs.

That matches how I see it too. When someone has a darker skin tone, dryness — what people call the ashy appearance — stands out far more than it would on someone with a lighter tone. Take pale white legs, for instance: spotting those dry flakes there isn't nearly so simple.
