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.
Research use only. Compound Review scores vendors on documentation — laboratory certificates, lot records, pricing and company identity. Nothing on this page is guidance on human or veterinary use, dosing or health outcomes.
Not awarded. How to check: The lab is identified by name on the vendor's site; you can look it up and contact it.
Not awarded. How to check: COAs are hosted on the testing lab's own system or carry a lab-side lookup code.
Not awarded. How to check: Certificates carry lot numbers that match shipped vials, not one generic PDF.
Not awarded. How to check: COAs state measured milligrams against the labelled amount, not purity % alone.
Catalog and sized pricing viewable without an account (age-gate only)
4.8 / 565 on Trustpilot (re-read 2 Oct 2026; was 4.8 / 535 on Trustpilot)
Not awarded. How to check: Compare testing/lab statements across the vendor's own pages.
Every product lists sizes with list and sale prices (e.g. Ipamorelin 10mg, NAD+ 500mg)

The review record is real and large: 4.8 across 535 Trustpilot reviews, one of the bigger live profiles we track. The documentation is where SKO stops. No testing laboratory is named anywhere on the site; the /coas page redirects to the welcome gate, and the "over 99% purity with publicly available COAs" claim could not be matched to a single certificate we could open on 24 September 2026. A "COA Verified" badge on every product is not a certificate.
The finding that gives this page its title is still on the record. In August, SKO's homepage listed five "Research Spray" products marked pre-order with a stated ship date two weeks out — each already carrying a star rating and review count, one at 4.9 from 186 reviews. Reviews cannot precede shipment. We offer no theory about how those numbers came to be; we note that on-site review counts are self-hosted and unverifiable, and that this is why the "no misleading trust signals" point is withheld. The Terms are a strict no-refund, no-return policy, and the published address is a mailbox suite.
SKO is an affiliate partner (code COMPOUNDREVIEW, 10% off) and scores four of ten anyway, which is the clearest demonstration we can offer that partnership is not a rubric input. If you want the same size of review base with testing you can actually trace, Purgo Labs names its laboratories, publishes per-lot certificates with lab lookup codes, and is cheaper on every like-for-like vial we have compared; code HEALTH takes 20% off.
A star average measures shipping and service, not what is in the vial — that is the certificate section below.

Two things surface: a complaint that SKO advertised a 24-hour shipping guarantee and then denied it existed, and product-quality chatter in r/USPeptides about a cloudy tesamorelin reconstitution. Small sample; the shipping-guarantee complaint matches the claims-consistency gaps our review already lists.
An unrelated thread whose visible cross-post says SKO Compounds 'advertised a 24-hour shipping guarantee — then denied it existed' when asked to honour it.
A reconstitution problem thread (tesamorelin turning cloudy) in which SKO's product is discussed.
How this was read: Google's Reddit results for "SKO Compounds reddit" on 29 September 2026 — thread titles, subreddit, dates and the text visible in search. We did not read every comment, so a gist says what a thread is and what its visible text says, not what it concludes. Threads in a vendor-run or ranking-site subreddit, and listicles or coupon posts in unrelated subreddits, are labelled as such. None of this is an input to the score; the rubric reads evidence, not opinions.
Both are affiliate partners; we earn a commission either way, so this is not a steer. Same rubric, same dated prices.
Earns nothing Purgo doesn't.
In August 2026 five pre-order 'Research Spray' products on SKO's homepage displayed star ratings and review counts (one at 4.9 from 186 reviews) with a ship date still two weeks away. Reviews cannot precede shipment. On-site counts are self-hosted and unverifiable; the independent Trustpilot record (4.8 across 535) is the one to use.
We could not find out. No laboratory is named anywhere on the site and no certificate could be opened on 24 September 2026 — the /coas page redirects to the welcome gate. Until a named lab and an openable certificate exist, the testing claims are claims.
Yes — SKO is an affiliate partner and code COMPOUNDREVIEW (10% off) is an affiliate code. It scores 4/10 regardless; the partnership is disclosed everywhere and is not a rubric input. Purgo Labs is also a partner and is the vendor we recommend instead.
As of 24 September 2026, SKO Compounds scores 4/10 on our verification rubric and has 4.8 (565 reviews). The trust assessment — who runs it, whether a certificate can be checked with the lab, the payment rail, and what we flagged — is on our "Is SKO Compounds legit?" page at /guides/is-sko-compounds-legit.
4.7 across 347 Trustpilot reviews (independently viewable). Sized pricing on every product with list and sale prices. States >99% purity, SPPS synthesis, HPLC + mass spectrometry, per-product 'COA Verified' badges, and a 24-hour ship guarantee.
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.

Yes — code COMPOUNDREVIEW gives 10% off, confirmed 24 August 2026 from the partner terms. Checkout-verified 24 Aug 2026. It is an affiliate code: we earn a commission on orders that use it, which is disclosed here and does not affect the rubric score above.
Read 9 October 2026: 4.8 across 612 reviews, 95% five-star and 4% three stars or below. Five-star reviews praise prices and speed; 95% five-star across 612, none invited.

The vendor replied to 26% of negative reviews. A star average reflects shipping and service, not what is in the vial.
