american crew copper peptides

[brit555]

Im currently on the american crew revitalize program but have read in places that the copper peptides have recently had their active ingredients changed, if so am i still going to get any results with them and if not what other brand should i opt for?

yeah the new spray has a different formula which may still be good but
i dont know anyone who has tried it. their original formula had the same patented complex thats in tricomin - i think they bought the patent from procyte so that would be the obvious thing to go for unless you get the new formula. i might give it a go when my tricomin runs out.

I’ve been using the new American Crew formula for 4.5 months.

Can’t tell if it’s helping or not.

But I’m using different things at the same time so I don't think I’ll never know if it helped.

So I'm looking at the American Crew website and their Revitalize product line page, and not sure what to get (if I were to). If I wanted to use copper peptides, would using the AC Revitalize products be sufficient? Do all the AC revitalize products have copper peptides? They mention "copper gluconate" but nothing about copper peptides.

Also, can you easily use other product in your hair when you use this stuff?

I'm new here, but somewhere, someone posted here that the Gluconate is not the same thing and isn't going to work. I would search under gluconate.

either find the old stuff on ebay or use tricomin/folligen instead.

What's the difference/what's better? And which specific products are the best to use? (there are creams, lotions, and more)

tricomin is the only one that went through any kind of fda studies. it's the most expensive of the three and i don't use any of them but if i were to use one it would probably be the tricomin.

for tricomin and folligen it's the spray. you want the therapy spray for the copper peptides, not the shamp or conditioner.

 

[Fat-Elvis]

The spray is better than the cream/lotion? Don't you want to get as much as possible of it on the scalp though?


holy crap this stuff IS expensive, I didn't notice the tricomin spray is $48 a can. freakin criminal.

a spray will penetrate dense hair a lot better than a cream will, in my opinion. cream is probably better for a slicker area like the hairline.

where can i find the AC copper peptides?

All I can say, is that I've noticed a nice cosmetic benefit, very quickly with Tricomin- but I am a Diffuse thinner, and still have alot of hair. My understanding is that the new American Crew spray does not have the same ingredients as before, so why bother. $ 46.00 seems like alot, but a bottle should last a few months.

 

[Fat-Elvis]

Any more opinons on whether to get CP spray or lotion/cream? Any opinions on tricomin vs folligen? Sure would be nice to go with the folligen considering how much cheaper it is.

Also, do any of them smell at all?

Note that if you get the spray, then you could apply it with a eyedropper the same way you would apply liquid Rogaine. The maker of Folligen, Dr. Pickart, wrote in reply to a customer that this is an acceptable way to apply his product, and it's what I do with Folligen. The problem here is that the liquid Folligen does not spread out nicely on the scalp the way liquid Rogaine does -- it kind of beads up like rain on a waxed car -- and since I don't know whether Folligen has any effect on the surface othen than that to which it is directly applied, there's a possibilty that I'm missing a lot a surface area by doing this. Obviously applying the spray as a spray would solve that, but for people in NW2 zone or lower without buzz cuts that means a lot of Folligen just landing uselessly in the hair.

Other than the recommendation to prefer the old American Crew formula over the new one, I can't really say anything for sure about Tricomin vs. Folligen, or even whether either of them works at all (I'm only 2 months or so into using Folligen). I don't think the testimonials are strongly in favor of one or the other. Tricomin at least has an internal human trial with some results; Folligen only has internal testing on mice. Same guy invented both.

I just got a bottle of what looks like the old version- it sites that Procyte patent on the bottle for copper peptides- does anyone know if this is the old version? or do both have the Procyte patent on it?
