The Skin Routine.

GHK-Cu 3×/wk. Epitalon twice a year. The honest two-peptide skin stack.

Our take

GHK-Cu does the heavy lifting. Epitalon adds a pineal-pulse layer. Past these two, you're optimizing past the evidence.

The week

Mon → Sun.

Read-only. To edit doses, drag chips between days, save, share, or journal — open the full editor.

Why it works

GHK-Cu does the collagen and matrix-protein work daily — slow-build effect, the 12-week photo is where the change shows. Epitalon adds a pulsed pineal-axis layer (Russian gerontology research, Khavinson) twice a year for the telomere-adjacent and circadian effects. Different mechanisms, no redundancy.

Who it's for

Adult who has nailed the boring effective skin moves (sunscreen daily, retinoid nightly, sleep, hydration) and wants the next layer.

Red flags
  • ·Topical copper at the same time can stain skin/clothes blue-green; rotate.
  • ·RUO sourcing on both. Copper-peptide vials get faked frequently. Demand a COA.
  • ·Epitalon's evidence base is mostly Russian, mostly pre-1995, mostly not replicated in Western labs.
You don't need this if
  • ·You haven't been daily-on-sunscreen for 90 days yet.
  • ·You're chasing instant results. This is a 12-week molecule.
Considered and rejected

What we left out, and why.

Every peptide on the shortlist we read for this goal. The ones below didn’t make the stack — and the one-liner is the reason.

  • ×BPC-157Anti-inflammatory angle but doubles up with the Recovery Stack. Not skin-specific — wrong stack.
  • ×SermorelinGHRH analog. The 'anti-aging clinic' offering, but the GH-axis layer isn't skin-specific. Adds systemic effects you may not want.
  • ×ThymulinLimited skin-specific evidence. Mostly immune-modulation territory.
  • ×HexarelinStronger GH pulse than CJC/Ipa but more side-effects. Wrong stack for a skin goal.
