I didn’t know peptides were used as a skincare product? Do any pharmaceuticals beyond retinol (besides acne treatments) have a significant impact on your skin anyway?

Not a pharmaceutical but you can buy TCA online for cheap and rub it on your face for an aggressive DIY chemical peel. It's pretty much guaranteed to make a noticeable difference but you pay the price in terms of social downtime as your skin peels peels off for like seven days or so. I've done 18% TCA on myself, it sucked ass but worth it.

No pain, no gain.

GHK-Cu is one that's commonly sold for skin health. You can buy cosmetic grade, which is usually just loose crystals that you mix into lotions or hyaluronic acid and then apply topically, potentially after derma rolling. You can also buy it ready for injection, which is much more expensive, but it seems to work better as well, and it's systemic rather than just where you applied it, and it has internal benefits as well for the skin

It's also available in mixes called GLOW and KLOW. GLOW is GHK-Cu, BPC-157, and TB-500. BPC-157 and TB-500 together are called 'the Wolverine stack' because it helps with healing soft tissue injuries, while the GHK-Cu helps rebuild collagen and thicken skin

KLOW adds KPV which is anti-inflammatory and can reduce auto-immune flareups

The KPV is kinda overkill imo unless you actually have auto-immune issues but GLOW and KLOW are usually within a few dollars of each other so it's kind of a "Why not?" option

GLOW is pretty safe and well tolerated, you can just get shots at medspas or sketchier normal spas, that's where it was popularized. You might be able to get it compounded as well now that RFK has loosened up restrictions on commercial peptides.

Haven't tried these myself but my main vendor is running a clearance combo sale on GLOW right now where I also want the other half of the combo and today is the last day so I'm tempted to buy some lol
 
The ones I used worked. There's seemingly thousands of peptides for everything under the sun and a lot of them are probably bullshit but some of them have at least a couple of clinical trials showing they work. I took CJC-1295, Ipamorelin, and HCG (technically not a peptide but it's in the same realm) and I saw huge gains in musculature. A teenager at the gym even asked if I was on steroids. I probably won't do another cycle, I didn't intend it to have such a potent effect on my hormones.
TL;DR it comes down to whether or not the specific peptide has some evidence supporting it and if what's in the bottle is what's on the label.

Has anyone been able to source Retatrutide? All my grey-market peptide sources haven't compounded it yet, but seems like everyone is on it.

glp1forum.com has a vendor marketplace section if you're willing to deal with crypto, it's not just glp1s but peptides in general. Most of them have tirz and reta, those are the big things everyone wants, but shipments out of Hong Kong were frozen recently due to too much fentanyl coming into the US through there, mixed in with packages of peptides. Combined with chemical precursors being in short supply due to Iran stocks are low everywhere. If you want to pay with a credit card you'll have to keep hunting. Most of the clearnet vendors call it something like GLP3 or [vendor acronym]-3P, [vendor acronym]-3R, something like that. A lot of clearnet vendors also stopped carrying it back in January for fear Eli Lilly (or the FDA, at the behest of EL) would come after them. That never seemed to actually happen to the ones who didn't stop carrying it as far as I saw
 
I've been stuck with quadriceps tendonitis that has refused to go away for months. At this point, would trying to use BPC-157 to make it go away be worthwhile?
 
I did sermorelin. It was OK I guess. I definitely slept better and woke up refreshed, especially after week 3.

I want to use that BPC shit and my friend keeps trying to get me on CJC but I don't like the pin schedule on it.
