I think the GHK-CU from my skin care routine is unintentionally saving my hair at my hairline 9/1/2026
The user noticed thicker hair at their hairline after using a skincare serum containing GHK-CU, despite using pyrilutamide for hair loss without success. They plan to apply the serum more broadly to see if it improves hair growth.

5 / 5 resultscommunity Is DHT actually the cause of male pattern hair loss or just a correlating factor? Why I think the research is more complicated than we're told and why I've been looking into GHK-Cu
DHT is not the only cause of male pattern hair loss; genetic sensitivity, inflammation, and fibrosis also contribute. GHK-Cu, a copper peptide, is being explored as an alternative treatment to finasteride and minoxidil, showing potential in improving follicle health.
community Just started Dut+Mim, should I add RU58841?
A 23-year-old started using 0.5mg Dutasteride and 2.5mg Minoxidil daily for hair loss and is considering adding RU58841 or GHK-cu. Users suggest waiting a few months before adding anything and mention Koshine's kx-826 as a potentially better alternative to RU58841.
community What is the ultimate hair regrowth protocol
The conversation covers aggressive hair regrowth treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. It also mentions PRP, laser therapy, GHK-Cu injections, and hormone therapy for maximum regrowth.
community Guy switched back to fin after Dut destroyed his hair (photo proof)
A person experienced hair loss after switching from finasteride to dutasteride and returned to finasteride, adding oral minoxidil. Dutasteride may increase scalp testosterone, worsening hair loss for some individuals.
community My personal experience/observations fighting AGA seriously for 5 years
Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
