I was wondering if using another CP lotion (for instance Trireduction) on top of GHK VIP is advisable to increase potency, or if it is best to use GHK VIP alone (or with emu/squalane only on top on it).
Many thanks!

Dear Rossana:

Excellent question!

For most clients wanting to take the VIP Luxury Cream up a notch further, using a light biological oil is the most effective penetrating agent.

Of the biological oils we carry, Dr. Pickart has recommended CELES Oil and Emu Oil as the "best moisturizer over copper peptides" to push things down even further.

Although you could use a milder copper peptide cream (such as TriReduction Cream or P&R High Retinol---which may be the better option because it's even milder), typically we recommend to only use one copper peptide product at a time.

The fatty lipids/oils in a mild copper peptide cream would assist the VIP product, but to avoid overuse/irritation it is important to go slow.

Using a light moisturizer on top would be the best option if you're looking to increase potency.


NOTE: The 3% GHK VIP Luxury Cream and 3% GHK VIP Luxury Serum are best used very lightly. Most clients should start off with extremely light amounts; many use their VIP Luxury products only 2-3 times a week and have still seen amazing results. For the majority of clients, due to the strength of this formula, a penetrating agent to make it even stronger is probably not needed.
