Question on combining GHK-Cu with silk or elastin peptides for skin

Posted by tara_ironman in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 2 points, 0 comments.

Hi all, I am new to this topic basically and I am trying to understand the peptide world for skin only. I have been reading about GHK-Cu for some weeks and the collagen and wound healing angle is making sense to me. But I also came across hydrolyzed silk fibroin peptides and elastin peptides and now I am confused how they are different from each other, no?

Like if GHK-Cu is already telling fibroblasts to make collagen, then what extra benefit does elastin peptide add? My thinking is collagen gives structure but elastin is the bounce part, is that correct? And silk peptides seems more about moisture barrier and giving amino acids, not really about signaling cells.

I am only interested in topical use for now, not oral. Has anyone actually stacked these or used them one after another in a routine? I am basically looking for what order makes sense and whether there is any point in layering all three or that is overkill for skin only. Please share if you have any experience na.
