How it works
The Lash Boost Serum is an eye serum, used after toner and before your eye cream or moisturizer, morning and evening. The peptide it is built around is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, named thirtieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Nonapeptide-1, so the peptide is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the eye serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the eye serum Dr.Althea sells in Korea, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and all.

Key actives
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8peptide
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable. On this eye serum's own ingredient list it is named thirtieth.
Copper Tripeptide-1peptide
Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines. It is named thirty-first on this eye serum's list, alongside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7peptide
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is a four-amino-acid peptide with a fatty tail, used for the look of fine lines. With palmitoyl tripeptide-1 it forms the pairing sold as Matrixyl 3000. The panel names it thirty-second on this eye serum's list, beside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Nonapeptide-1peptide
Nonapeptide-1 is a nine-amino-acid peptide used for the look of uneven tone rather than for firmness, which makes it unusual among cosmetic peptides. The panel names it thirty-third on this eye serum's list, beside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetatepeptide
This is a two-amino-acid peptide, sold as Syn-Ake, used for the look of expression lines. Its structure was modelled on a component of snake venom, though nothing of the venom itself is in it. The panel names it thirty-fourth on this eye serum's list, beside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Dr. Althea Lash Boost Serum
Where does this eye serum go in my routine?
After toner and before your eye cream or moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than an eye serum goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market eye serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and all. We match this eye serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Acetyl Hexapeptide-8?
Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 and Nonapeptide-1. The order they are printed in on this eye serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.

How to use
- Use the Lash Boost Serum at the end of the evening routine, on clean dry lashes.
- One pass of the applicator along the upper lash line, the way a liquid liner goes on. One coat is the dose, and a second pass over the same lashes does not add to it.
- Everything else in the routine goes on first. The lashes need to be clean and completely dry when it goes on, because eye cream, oil or leftover mascara gives it a film to sit on instead of the lash line.
- Once a day, in the evening. Do not run it along the waterline or let it into the eye itself; the base of the lashes is the closest it belongs.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this eye serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 on the list.
- Introduce this eye serum on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 rather than to three changes at once.
