How do I switch from another skin treatment to GHK-Cu serum?
Short answer
Have your prescribing physician make a switching plan before replacing another skin treatment with GHK-Cu serum. Share the product name, strength, schedule, and reason for switching. There is no universal waiting period. A licensed physician in your state decides whether GHK-Cu serum is appropriate and how to manage any overlap.
Switching to GHK-Cu serum should start with a review of your current treatment. Tell your physician the name and strength of each product, how often you use it, and when you last applied it. Include nonprescription products and any recent skin procedures.
Explain why you want to switch. Irritation, cost, and lack of benefit can lead to different plans. GHK-Cu serum should not be assumed to replace a medicine prescribed for acne, eczema, or another diagnosed condition. The treatments may have different purposes and different levels of supporting evidence.
A licensed physician in your state decides whether GHK-Cu serum is appropriate. There is no universal waiting period between it and another treatment. Your physician may advise against overlap or ask you to wait until irritated skin has been assessed before starting.
Follow your new prescription label and do not copy the dose of your old product. Ask which products to continue, which to stop, and when to follow up. Keep those instructions so you can check them during the change.
