I'm very disappointed to report that the experiment didn't yield any positive results. I mixed the peptide into water and propylene glycol and placed it on my left hand twice daily for two weeks with no change in skin colour. Either the peptide was put together wrong or there is something else required that was not indicated in the patent. I noted that the molecular weight of the peptide on arrival was over 600 Dalton and from what I've read, only compounds with a weight of less than 500 usually pass through the skin, so it's all a bit strange. Of course the peptide may still work via injection, which is the next trial. Anyone have any thoughts, or are there any volunteers to try the injecting route?
Thanks for trying though. I think maybe try another topical trial on another area first? Maybe increase the amount used and apply to another body part (I know skin on hands is thicker than other areas etc?)
If not good luck with the injections. Hopefully it produces better results

Hi Dark Horse,
I haven't been on the forum for a while since I have been very busy. Anyway, I work in medicine and I have actually been experimenting with melanotan and forskolin topicals on the side in my spare time. I think I can add some additional insight. Don't be too discouraged yet, there are a lot of variables and factors to consider.
1. Delivery]
2. Dosage]
3. Duration]
I may be interested in testing this tripeptide out on my own but I would want to create a more potent topical solution with something else to help enhance penetration, such as a PLO gel/cream. However, the cost of a topical may be much more expensive because in most cases, it would require much more drug but I am just conceptualizing at this point. I have not read the articles and research on this tripeptide yet.
So good to see you back, JROD. We really need people like you.
To give an example]On the other hand: in the beginning I added dimethyl isosorbide as a carrier and it did give me results, they could have been better with a more consistent PH ( or with more frequent applications) but I did have results.
After a while some other seller told me]
How about your forskolin research? In the forskolin topic I posted a formula ( using the 20 percent version), maybe you can check it out.
Gel phase
water 5oz
polymer sp thickner(sodium polyacrylate) .4oz
