How do I apply the AHK-Cu scalp serum?

Part your hair to expose the scalp, spray directly onto the area you want to treat, and massage in gently. Apply in the evening so the peptide has overnight contact time with the scalp. The light gel consistency stops it running off and maximises absorption. It contains no oil so will not make your scalp or hair feel greasy.

How long does the AHK-Cu scalp serum take to show results?

Hair growth is slow — this is biology, not a product limitation. Most people commit to 3-6 months of consistent daily use before evaluating results. You may notice reduced shedding or improved scalp feel within weeks, but visible density changes take longer. Take monthly photos from the same angle to track progress, as gradual changes are hard to notice day to day.

Why does this serum need to be refrigerated?

Copper peptides are sensitive to heat, light and oxygen. Refrigerated storage maintains the potency and stability of the AHK-Cu peptide. The Miron violet glass bottle provides additional protection from light degradation. Use within 6 months for best results.

Can I use this scalp serum with minoxidil?

There is no known contraindication between topical copper peptides and minoxidil. They work through different mechanisms, so some people use both. Apply minoxidil in the morning and the copper peptide serum in the evening. If you are using prescription hair treatments, consult your healthcare provider before adding new products.

What is the difference between the scalp serum and the skin serum?

They contain different copper peptides. The scalp serum uses AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3), which was specifically engineered for hair follicle support. The skin serum uses GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1), which has extensive research for skin regeneration and anti-ageing. Each peptide is used where research suggests it works best.

Who is the AHK-Cu scalp serum best suited for?

Anyone noticing gradual changes in hair density or thickness, women experiencing hormonal hair changes during perimenopause or menopause, men with early-stage pattern thinning, those who cannot tolerate minoxidil, and anyone wanting to support long-term scalp health. Early intervention is more effective than waiting until thinning is advanced.

Why is MSM included in the formula?

MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) provides bioavailable sulphur, which is essential for keratin synthesis — the structural protein that hair is made of. At 5%, it supports the structural building blocks your hair needs while the AHK-Cu peptide works on the follicle growth cycle. MSM also improves the penetration of other active ingredients.

Is the AHK-Cu scalp serum suitable for colour-treated hair?

Yes. The serum is applied to the scalp, not the hair shaft, so it will not affect hair colour. It contains no harsh chemicals, sulphates or ingredients that would strip colour. The fragrance-free, clean formulation makes it compatible with all hair types and treatments.
