- 22% dermal thickness increase, plateau at week 16
- Higher concentration, longer duration. Diminishing returns after 16 weeks

- 9% dermal thickness increase, 15% wrinkle depth reduction
- Lower concentrations show modest but measurable effect. Good entry protocol

- 30 days
- 27% dynamic wrinkle reduction, no dermal thickness change
- Snap-8 alone prevents worsening but doesn't rebuild tissue
- Research shows the 3% GHK-Cu + 8% Snap-8 formulation applied twice daily for 12 weeks produces the most reliable synergistic outcomes. Lower concentrations work but take longer. Higher concentrations don't proportionally improve results and increase cost without additional benefit.
