1. No medical advice; not a substitute for medical care

The content on trypeptidescience.com — including but not limited to product descriptions, advertising, blog posts, prelander articles, illustrations, customer reviews, testimonials, customer-service correspondence, and any other content of any kind — is provided for general informational and cosmetic-care purposes only. None of it is medical advice. It is not a substitute for the diagnosis, treatment, or recommendation of a qualified healthcare provider, dermatologist, or physician familiar with your medical history. Do not disregard, delay, or modify medical care or advice because of anything you read on the Site or in any PeptideScience material. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911 or your local emergency number immediately.

2. FDA status; no medical claim

PeptideScience products have not been evaluated, cleared, or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration. No statement or claim made by PeptideScience, the Site, advertising materials, customer-service personnel, or any third party is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent any disease, injury, or medical condition, including without limitation androgenetic alopecia or any other form of hair loss, acne, rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, scarring, photoaging, or any disorder of the skin or scalp. PeptideScience products are offered as general cosmetic self-care products. Any use of any product to treat a disease or medical condition is at your sole risk.

3. Results not typical; testimonials

Testimonials, reviews, before-and-after stories, customer quotes, and other endorsements on the Site or in advertising reflect individual experiences and are not representative of typical results. Many factors outside PeptideScience's control influence results, including age, skin and hair type, hormonal status, lifestyle, diet, underlying conditions, adherence to the recommended protocol, concurrent care, and natural variation. PeptideScience makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee, express or implied, that you will experience any specific result, benefit, or outcome, within any advertised timeline or otherwise. Any depiction of mechanism, anatomy, follicles, skin layers, or before/after appearance is a simplified educational illustration, not a diagnostic image or a claim of effect in any specific user.

5. Who should NOT use PeptideScience

Do not use PeptideScience products if any of the following applies to you. This list is illustrative and is not exhaustive. You are solely responsible for determining whether use of a given product is safe for you.

• You are allergic or sensitive to copper, copper peptides (GHK-Cu), or any other active or inactive ingredient listed on the product packaging, or you have been diagnosed with Wilson's disease or any other disorder of copper metabolism.
• You have a bleeding or clotting disorder, or you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medication ("blood thinners"), including but not limited to warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, clopidogrel, or daily aspirin therapy.
• You have a history of keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
• You have an active infection or inflammatory condition at or near the application site — including bacterial, fungal, or viral infection (including active cold sores / herpes simplex on the face), folliculitis, open acne pustules, eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis flare, sunburn, or any broken, irritated, or oozing skin.
• You are immunocompromised or on immunosuppressive therapy (including chemotherapy, biologics, or long-term corticosteroids), or you have any condition that impairs healing.
• You have diabetes with impaired skin healing, peripheral neuropathy, or reduced sensation at the application site.
• You have taken isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past six (6) months, or you are currently using prescription topical retinoids, exfoliating acids, or other prescribed topicals at the application site, unless your treating clinician has expressly cleared concurrent use.
• You have had a cosmetic or dermatologic procedure at the application site within the past four (4) weeks — including chemical peels, laser, microneedling, fillers, or injectables — unless your provider has cleared use.
• You are pregnant, believe you may be pregnant, or are nursing.
• You are under 18 years of age.
• Any patch pouch, ampoule, or applicator arrives damaged, unsealed, or with a different appearance than expected.

If you have any chronic medical condition, are taking any medication, or have any doubt about whether use of a PeptideScience product is safe for you, do not use it. Consult your physician or dermatologist first.

6. Safe-use requirements

You must, as a condition of using PeptideScience products:

• Read the complete product packaging and printed instructions before first use.
• Apply only to clean, dry, intact skin or scalp. Wash hands before handling patches, ampoules, or applicators.
• Never reuse a single-use microneedle patch. Each patch is sealed for one application only. Discard after use.
• Never share applicators, stamps, or opened ampoules with any other person. Clean and store the micro-infusion applicator exactly as directed between uses, and replace it on the schedule stated in the instructions.
• Follow the stated wear time, application frequency, and dosage. More frequent use, longer wear, or heavier pressure does not improve results and increases the risk of irritation and infection. Micro-channeling should never draw blood — if it does, you are pressing too hard; stop.
• Do not apply cosmetic actives (retinoids, exfoliating acids, vitamin C) to the treated area immediately after use unless the instructions expressly permit it.
• Protect treated facial skin from direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF during the treatment period.
• Stop use immediately and consult a healthcare provider if you experience persistent redness, swelling, pain, blistering, signs of infection, or any unexpected reaction.
• Keep all products away from the eyes, mouth, nostrils, and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a poison control center (in the US: 1-800-222-1222) or seek emergency medical attention.
• Discontinue use if any contraindication arises or is later diagnosed.
