Questions about Softmaxxing and Peptidemaxxing

[ZuluMaxxer]

First, a little background. I am 19M, 6’4, and 175lbs (lanky build). I have been going to the gym for about 5 months and have practically no appetite (hence the 6’4 175). I am looking for advice for a few different things.

Firstly, skin. I have a ton of issues with my skin. I have eczema that I take Dupixent for which works decently but still isn’t great. I have rosacea and dry skin patches on my face and acne here and there though it’s not bad. I currently just use a face wash and moisturizer. My new plan for skin care is Cerave non foaming cleanser morning and night, Illiyoon Ceramide moisturizer morning and night, retinol nightly, and vitamin c serum every morning. Are there any specific products people recommend and/or things I should take out/add to my routine. I am also thinking about taking GHK-Cu if anyone has any experience with that.

Second is bulking. As mentioned above, I have had a hard time bulking and am thinking about taking a GH peptide/secretagogue. I have looked at and compared most of them and feel like MK would work best for me, especially as a beginner. I am also interested because of the skin benefits and sleep. I am open to any suggestions on this though.

Finally, Nootropics. I am currently a college student and I am looking at different things I can take to brainmaxx. I am considering things like Dihexa as well as Selank/Semax. Any other nootropics that work well?

Thanks for the advice!

Probably should’ve mentioned this but I am white. The areas I’m not worried about improving are hair (very thick hair, great eyebrows and eyelashes) and obviously height too.

i donr know peptides, but what i do know is that you cant start peptides when you have acne, rosacea or eczema. when you take medicine for it youre not treating the source of the problem.
you have to figure out which foods inflame you and eliminate them for the sake of your health and looks before you start getting into artifical bs like peptides.
goodluck

Why the fuck are you using retinol with eczema stop that shit rn, double moisturise on dry patches too. You'd have to look into the effects of ghk while having eczema. Mk is shit apparently just do it the clean, lean way this will help with eczema too (good anti inflammatory diet)

Appreciate the advice. I am not currently using retinol but was thinking about taking it, but I’ll steer clear of it now. I do agree that I realistically should just try harder to bulk and it’s probably just a skill issue.
