From Joseph Tito, founder of The Dad Diaries
Papa & Filles
Peptide care for your scalp and skin.
Fatherhood is a big part of my life. Papa & Filles is another part: a brand I founded, with a daily scalp serum and peptide body patches. Here is a closer look at both, the ingredients, and my own before and after.

Inside the formulas
Why these peptides are in the spotlight.
The scalp serum pairs two copper peptides, GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu, with niacinamide, caffeine, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate. The body patches bring together GHK-Cu, KPV and glutathione in a different format.
These ingredients have different research backgrounds. Papa & Filles explains the studies behind them, what was tested, and where the evidence stops. Research on an ingredient does not establish how well a finished serum or patch works.

My scalp. Five months apart.
These are my supplied before-and-after photographs, five months apart. They are a record of my own experience, not a promise about yours.
Individual results and timing vary. These photographs do not establish that the serum caused a change, and they do not show results from the body patches.
Papa & Filles: your questions, answered.
What is Papa & Filles?
Papa & Filles is Joseph Tito’s peptide-care brand. This page features its Dual Peptide Scalp Serum and Copper Peptide Complex body patches. Joseph is also the founder of The Dad Diaries and a dad to twin girls.
What are peptides?
Peptides are short chains of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Different peptides have different properties. The name of an ingredient alone does not tell you how a finished product will perform.
Which peptides are in the Dual Peptide Scalp Serum?
The serum features 1% GHK-Cu and 0.5% AHK-Cu, two copper-binding peptides. Its other featured ingredients are niacinamide, caffeine, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate. The full ingredient list is available on the Papa & Filles product page.
Why do these formulas use different peptides?
The formulas bring together ingredients with different research backgrounds. GHK-Cu has been studied in skin-cell and collagen research; AHK-Cu in laboratory hair-follicle research; KPV in skin-response research; and glutathione in antioxidant biology. These ingredient studies are not clinical evidence for the finished serum or patches, and do not establish absorption from a patch.
Are the scalp serum and peptide patches the same formula?
No. They share GHK-Cu, but the serum features GHK-Cu and AHK-Cu, while the patches feature GHK-Cu, KPV and glutathione. They are separate products with different formats. Joseph’s scalp photographs are not results from the patches.
What do Joseph’s before-and-after photos show?
The photographs shown here were supplied as Joseph’s scalp before and after, five months apart. They show one person’s experience. They are not a controlled clinical trial, do not establish that the serum caused a change, and do not guarantee hair growth or a timeline for anyone else.
Where can I buy Papa & Filles products?
