Like-for-like prices

No compound-and-size pair with dated prices from both vendors yet. Each vendor's readings are on the Peptide Price Index.

What we found at SKO Compounds

Read on 24 September 2026 on the vendor's own pages and the independent platforms linked. These are the findings behind the 4/10 above — not a summary of the vendor's marketing.

A large, active review base and, as of this read, a company name — but not one certificate we could open, and no lab named. The score is low because the documentation is, not because of the reviews. Affiliate partner; disclosed, not scored.

What checked out

  • 4.8 across 535 Trustpilot reviews on a claimed profile; most recent review 15 Sep 2026 (read 24 Sep 2026). source
  • Legal entity now on the site: 'SKO Compounds LLC' in the refund policy; mailbox address 8605 Santa Monica Blvd #383491, West Hollywood, CA 90069 on the Contact page (24 Sep 2026). source
  • Catalog and sized pricing viewable without an account (age gate only). source

What we could not verify, or found contradicted

  • No testing laboratory is named anywhere: /coas redirects to the welcome gate, and the '>99% purity with publicly available COAs' claim could not be matched to a single certificate page (24 Sep 2026). source
  • The published address is a mailbox suite, not an operating location.
  • FDA and BBB searches were blocked by an anti-bot challenge on 24 Sep 2026 — recorded as not checked, not as clean.
  • Contradiction: Pre-order products display review counts before they have shipped; the homepage has cited a Trustpilot count below the live figure (6 Sep 2026). source
  • Flag: 'Strict no refund and no return policy' (24 Sep 2026). source

How SKO Compounds's score has moved

Every re-verification is dated and kept; a score only changes when the evidence does.

  1. 2026-08-063/8 — first assessment under rubric v1
  2. 2026-09-063/10 — re-issued under rubric v2 (was 3/8); not awarded: named-lab, lab-hosted, per-lot, net-content, claims-consistent, identity, clean-record
  3. 2026-09-244/10 — 3/10 → 4/10 — identity awarded: 'SKO Compounds LLC' now named in the refund policy alongside the West Hollywood mailbox address (disclosed as a mailbox)

Purgo Labs: the caveat

Smaller independent review base than several competitors (80 reviews). The catalog is peptide-focused, so researchers also working with SARMs or broader research chemicals will need a second supplier.

SKO Compounds: the caveat

The testing laboratory is not named anywhere we could find, so testing claims cannot be looked up. Pre-order 'Research Sprays' displayed star ratings and review counts before their stated ship date — reviews cannot precede shipment, and on-site review counts are self-hosted and unverifiable. Roughly 15 of ~34 vial products were sold out on the day checked.

Editor's notes on SKO Compounds

Context from our hand-written research that the numbers above cannot carry — brand confusion, catalog risk, testing specifics. Nothing here changes the score.

What is the pre-order review issue at SKO?

On the day we checked, SKO listed five pre-order spray products with a stated ship date of 22 August 2026 - each already displaying a star rating and review count, such as 4.9 from 186 reviews. Reviews cannot precede shipment. We offer no theory about the numbers' origin; the observation was checkable on their homepage, and its practical meaning is that SKO's self-hosted ratings should not inform a buying decision. Its independently hosted Trustpilot record is a separate matter and remains genuine.
