i wish someone had handed me this list before i started. ✅ 1. Week one will feel like nothing and you'll think you got bunk product I almost threw mine out at day six. Then day twelve hit and my skin started feeling different before it looked different. 👉 ghk-cu works at a cellular level first. Nothing shows up in a mirror on day five 👉 Hydration and softness come before any visible change 👉 The people who quit in week one quit right before the shift started ✅ 2. The injection burn is real and it does not mean something is wrong That stinging sensation freaks everyone out the first time. It's normal copper peptide behavior. 👉 Pin slower. Push the plunger over 5-10 seconds, not 2 👉 Let the vial come to room temp before injecting. Cold copper burns way worse 👉 Rotate injection sites or you'll bruise in the same spot every time ✅ 3. Your hair might shed before it grows Weeks 2-4 is when the shedding phase hits and it sends people into a panic. Do not stop. 👉 ghk-cu pushes resting follicles back into the active phase, which releases old hairs first 👉 Shedding means it's working. New growth comes underneath 👉 Not everyone goes through this phase but if you do, ride it out ✅ 4. You need to track everything or you'll convince yourself it's not working The changes are so gradual your brain will not register them. By week three you'll forget what your skin even looked like at baseline. 👉 Take photos every 5 days in the same lighting. Your memory will lie. The camera won't 👉 I log everything in an app called PepKit — dose logging, reconstitution calculator, cycle tracking all in one 👉 Search PepKit on the app store. Takes 30 seconds and it saves you from gaslighting yourself ✅ 5. Weeks 4-6 is when people around you start noticing You won't see it first. Your mom, your boyfriend, your coworker will. That's the tell. 👉 Skin texture shifts before firmness or fine lines do 👉 This is the week most people finally believe it's working 👉 Don't dismiss the small signals. They're the preview of what's coming ✅ 6. Month one is the foundation. The real changes are month 2-4 People who stop at week 4 are quitting right before the payoff. 👉 ghk-cu builds on itself. Each week compounds on the last 👉 The dramatic before/afters you see online are usually 3+ months in 👉 Treat month one as the warm-up, not the main event save this before you start. you'll want it at week two when you're convinced it isn't working. - @sara.pepkit
