- Injectable peptides (GHK-Cu, growth hormone peptides):
- Systemic delivery to entire body
- Much higher effective concentrations reaching all tissues
- Benefits beyond just facial skin (body composition, recovery, overall aging)
- Requires injection training and sterile technique
- Monthly costs $100-$500+ depending on protocol
- Regulatory considerations and prescription requirements vary by jurisdiction
- Olay topical peptides:
- Localized facial application only
- Penetration limited to epidermis and upper dermis
- Facial anti-aging benefits exclusively
- Simple application without medical procedures
- Affordable $20-$40 monthly
- Fully legal and accessible
- When each makes sense: Topical Olay appropriate for facial anti-aging as primary goal. Systemic injectables suited for comprehensive body-wide anti-aging, athletic performance, or recovery enhancement. Can combine both—systemic peptides for overall benefits, topical Olay for enhanced facial results.
