VitaPep formula comparison

Five topical peptide serums. One clear comparison.

Compare the facts that actually change from one VitaPep formula to the next: peptide identity, listed amount, carrier, applicator, testing, and how closely published research matches the finished topical product.

Start here

Choose by product fact—not by hype.

For appearance-focused skin conditioning

GHK-Cu is the clearest fit in the current VitaPep range. Its cosmetic research context includes smoother- and firmer-looking skin, but that does not guarantee an individual result from the finished VitaPep formula.

For a particular peptide identity

Choose the exact molecule and form you intended to compare: BPC-157 Arginate, KPV, the TB-500 fragment, or PT-141. Similar research themes do not make those peptides interchangeable.

For a disclosed DMSO-based carrier

Current records list 70% DMSO and 30% deionized water for GHK-Cu, KPV, TB-500, and PT-141. DMSO supports topical-delivery context; it does not prove a peptide-specific absorption level.

For a medical or therapeutic outcome

None of these cosmetic serums should be selected as a treatment for an injury, disease, pain, inflammation, or another medical condition. Discuss those goals with a qualified health professional.

Formula by formula

What makes each option different.

GHK-Cu

GHK-Cu Copper Peptide Serum

The most appearance-focused formula in the current range. GHK-Cu is used in cosmetic skin-conditioning contexts associated with smoother-, firmer-looking skin, while finished-product results remain formulation-specific.

Identity
GHK-Cu / Copper Tripeptide-1
Amount
14 mg / 30 mL
Carrier
70% DMSO / 30% deionized water
Testing
A submitted GHK-Cu liquid concentration assessment for batch GHKCU010, plus a separate VitaPep serum microbiological and heavy-metal report.

BPC-157 Arginate

BPC-157 Arginate Topical Serum

For shoppers seeking the specifically identified Arginate form in a ready-to-use, localized external cosmetic format with no mixing or reconstitution.

Identity
BPC-157 Arginate; 15-amino-acid peptide form
Amount
6.1 mg listed formula input / 30 mL
Carrier
Review the current product ingredient declaration
Testing
Raw-material content and purity, a named BPC-157 Arginate aqueous-solution concentration report, and a separate VitaPep serum microbiological and heavy-metal report.

KPV

KPV Topical Serum

For shoppers specifically comparing KPV topical formats, disclosed carrier composition, and batch-specific measurement—not a promise to treat inflammation or a skin condition.

Identity
KPV / lysine-proline-valine; 3-amino-acid peptide
Amount
10 mg labeled amount / 30 mL
Carrier
70% DMSO / 30% deionized water
Testing
A submitted-liquid concentration assessment for identified batch KPV020; no separate finished-serum microbiological or heavy-metal report was verified.

TB-500

Serum+ TB-500 Topical Serum

For shoppers seeking the specifically identified seven-amino-acid TB-500 fragment in a measured external format—not full-length thymosin beta-4.

Identity
N-acetylated thymosin beta-4 17–23 fragment; Ac-LKKTETQ
Amount
1.2 mg / 30 mL
Carrier
70% DMSO / 30% deionized water
Testing
A VitaPep TB-500 Serum peptide-content report for batch TB020, plus a separate VitaPep serum microbiological and heavy-metal report.

PT-141

PT-141 Topical Serum

For shoppers specifically comparing a PT-141 external cosmetic format. It is not interchangeable with, or evidence-equivalent to, a prescription injectable product.

Identity
PT-141 / bremelanotide; cyclic peptide
Amount
25.5 mg / 30 mL
Carrier
70% DMSO / 30% deionized water
Testing
A submitted PT-141 liquid concentration and purity assessment for batch PT141010, plus a separate VitaPep serum microbiological and heavy-metal report.

Testing transparency

Compare the document—not just the “tested” badge.

A raw-material identity or purity result answers a different question from finished-serum peptide content, microbiological quality, or heavy-metal testing. Match the report to its sample, batch, date, method, units, and scope.

Testing documents describe the submitted sample and measured characteristic. They do not prove a cosmetic result, medical benefit, or identical result for every batch.
