Built to the Ruski Standard

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, held to the Ruski Standard

Architecture is for places that have looked thin: overplucked brows and a sparse lash line. We lead with Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 for its Capixyl-class density narrative, supported by Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 and botanical extracts (red clover, green tea, larch). The goal is the look of fuller architecture where growth has looked thin, appearance and conditioning language only. Manufacturer data informs the peptide story; finished-product evidence should be read with its limits. Apply once daily to brows and the upper lash line.

The formulation

Every ingredient earns its place. Here is each one: what it is, why it's in this formula, and what evidence supports it, including where that evidence is limited.

Water · INCI: Aqua (Water)carrier/solvent

The base solvent that dissolves the humectants, peptides and water-soluble botanical extracts and carries them evenly along the brows and lash line.

Established cosmetic-science consensus; water is the standard vehicle for a leave-on aqueous serum.

Glycerin (vegetable glycerol) · INCI: Glycerinhumectant

Draws and holds water at the brow and lash surface so the dried film stays hydrated and comfortable through once-daily wear.

One of the most studied humectants in cosmetic science; its benefit is surface hydration of the hair and skin.

Propanediol (corn-derived 1,3-propanediol) · INCI: Propanediolhumectant

A lightweight humectant and co-solvent that improves the solubility of the peptides and preservative and adds slip so the serum spreads thinly.

Established cosmetic-science consensus as a widely used glycol humectant and solvent with a favourable tolerance profile.

Butylene glycol · INCI: Butylene Glycolhumectant

A humectant and extraction solvent that helps hold the botanical extracts and peptide actives stably in solution.

Established cosmetic-science consensus as a common extraction solvent and humectant in botanical serums.

Panthenol (provitamin B5) · INCI: Panthenolconditioning agent

Conditions the brow and lash fibre, improving surface smoothness and moisture retention so the hairs look and feel softer and more flexible.

Established cosmetic-science consensus for panthenol as a humectant and conditioning agent on hair and skin; the benefit is cosmetic conditioning of the fibre.

Biotinoyl tripeptide-1 (a biotin-linked signal peptide) · INCI: Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1active

A supporting peptide active, included to condition the brow and lash line and support the appearance of denser, fuller-looking hairs alongside the lead density peptide.

Manufacturer/supplier data (used in the Procapil complex) reports conditioning benefits; independent peer-reviewed evidence specific to brows and lashes is limited.

Myristoyl pentapeptide-17 (a lash-conditioning peptide) · INCI: Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17active

A supporting length-appearance peptide in this dual-use formula, chosen to condition brows and lashes for a more defined look over continued daily use.

Manufacturer/supplier clinical data (marketed as a lash peptide, e.g. Sympeptide XLash) reports improvement in the appearance of lashes; independent peer-reviewed evidence is limited.

Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 (paired with red clover in the Capixyl-style complex) · INCI: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3active

The lead density-architecture peptide in this serum, paired with red clover extract to support the appearance of thicker, denser brow and lash hairs.

Manufacturer/supplier data (the Capixyl complex) reports improvement in hair-density measures in scalp studies; brow- and lash-specific independent peer-reviewed evidence is limited.

Dextran (a plant-sugar polymer) · INCI: Dextrancarrier/solvent

The polysaccharide carrier that delivers and stabilises the peptide actives (notably the Capixyl-style complex) and leaves a light conditioning film.

Established cosmetic-science consensus; dextran is a common stabilising carrier for peptide actives.

Red clover flower extract · INCI: Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extractactive

The botanical partner to acetyl tetrapeptide-3 in the Capixyl-style complex, included to support the appearance of denser brows and lashes.

Manufacturer/supplier data (Capixyl, red clover standardised for biochanin A) underpins the density-appearance positioning; independent peer-reviewed brow/lash evidence is limited.

Green tea leaf extract · INCI: Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractantioxidant

A green-tea polyphenol extract acting as an antioxidant within the botanical-bioactive (Redensyl-style) complex, helping protect the delicate hairs and the formula from oxidative stress.

Established cosmetic-science consensus for green tea polyphenols (EGCG) as topical antioxidants; the density positioning rests on manufacturer complex data, not independent lash studies.

Larch wood extract · INCI: Larix Europaea Wood Extractactive

The larch-derived component of the Redensyl-style botanical complex, included to support the appearance of fuller brow and lash density.

Manufacturer/supplier data (Redensyl uses a larch-derived dihydroquercetin glucoside) supports the positioning; independent peer-reviewed evidence in brows and lashes is limited.

Glycine (an amino acid) · INCI: Glycineconditioning agent

An amino acid included as a listed component of the Redensyl-style complex and to add to the conditioning, buffered feel of the serum.

Established cosmetic-science consensus; glycine is a standard amino-acid conditioning and buffering ingredient and a defined part of the Redensyl complex.

Zinc chloride · INCI: Zinc Chlorideactive

The zinc component of the Redensyl-style complex, present at a trace level to complete the defined botanical-bioactive system.

Manufacturer/supplier data lists zinc chloride as a defined part of the Redensyl complex; standalone independent evidence for brow and lash use is limited.

Rosemary leaf extract · INCI: Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extractantioxidant

A rosemary botanical included for its antioxidant polyphenols, rounding out the botanical-bioactive complex and helping keep the serum stable.

Rosemary extract has some peer-reviewed interest in hair care, but robust brow- and lash-specific evidence is limited; here it functions primarily as an antioxidant botanical (cosmetic-science consensus).

Sodium hyaluronate (salt of hyaluronic acid) · INCI: Sodium Hyaluronatehumectant

A high-water-binding humectant that hydrates the brow and lash line and helps the thin film feel smooth rather than tight.

Well-established cosmetic-science consensus as a surface humectant and hydrator; its benefit is surface hydration.

Biotin (vitamin B7) · INCI: Biotinconditioning agent

Included at a low level as a conditioning vitamin that ties the serum into the wider peptide range and supports a well-conditioned brow and lash surface.

Peer-reviewed evidence that topical or supplemental biotin changes hair in people without a deficiency is limited (Patel 2017 review); it is included here as a conditioning vitamin.

Sodium metabisulfite · INCI: Sodium Metabisulfiteantioxidant

An antioxidant added to protect the peptides and botanical polyphenols from oxidation so the serum stays consistent in performance and colour.

Established cosmetic-science consensus; a standard antioxidant/reducing agent used to stabilise oxidation-sensitive botanical formulas.

Pullulan (a plant-sugar film-former) · INCI: Pullulanfilm-former

Forms a light, flexible film that helps the serum sit evenly on brows and the lash line and gives a smooth, lightly tightened finish as it dries.

Established cosmetic-science consensus for pullulan as a natural film-forming polysaccharide; the effect is a cosmetic surface film.

Hydroxyethylcellulose (a cellulose thickener) · INCI: Hydroxyethylcellulosethickener

Thickens the water phase to a light gel so the serum stays on the brush and along the lash line without running into the eye.

Established cosmetic-science consensus as a common non-ionic gelling and thickening polymer.

Sodium citrate · INCI: Sodium CitratepH adjuster

Part of the citrate buffer that holds the serum at a mild, eye-area-appropriate pH so the peptides stay stable.

Established cosmetic-science consensus; sodium citrate is a standard buffering salt.

Citric acid · INCI: Citric AcidpH adjuster

The acid partner of the citrate buffer, fine-tuning pH to a skin- and eye-friendly range.

Established cosmetic-science consensus as a standard pH adjuster.

Phenoxyethanolpreservative

The primary preservative protecting this water-based, eye-area serum from microbial contamination across its in-use life.

Established cosmetic-science consensus; a broad-spectrum preservative permitted up to 1% and widely used in eye-area products.

Ethylhexylglycerinpreservative

A preservative booster that supports phenoxyethanol and adds a mild conditioning slip.

Established cosmetic-science consensus as a preservation booster and skin-conditioning agent.

Questions, answered

Can I use the Brow & Lash Architecture Serum with lash extensions and lifts?

Yes. It is formulated without prostaglandins and without oils that can loosen extension adhesive, so it can be worn alongside extensions and lifts. Apply it to the brows and along the upper lash line and allow it to dry fully before layering anything else; ask your technician to review the INCI for their system.

Is this serum prostaglandin-free, and why does that matter?

Yes, it is completely prostaglandin-free. Prostaglandin analogues are the ingredients associated with side effects such as darkening of the eyelid skin and changes to the coloured part of the eye, so leaving them out is a core part of the Ruski Standard; this serum instead supports the appearance of density through disclosed peptides and botanical bioactives.

Can I use it on both brows and lashes, and where does it fit in my routine?

Yes, it is designed as a single once-daily serum for both the brows and the upper lash line. Apply it to clean, dry brows and lashes once a day; if you already use a separate nightly lash serum, this layers comfortably as your brow step, and you should let it dry before makeup.

What should I expect from it, and over what time frame?

Any change is appearance-based: it is formulated to support how full and defined your brows and lashes look with consistent daily use, not to produce a medical outcome. Because brow and lash hairs turn over slowly, use it daily over several weeks; the finished-product results for this serum are documented in its third-party report (RL-BLA-006), available on request.

Is it suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers?

It is formulated for the eye area, fragrance-free, sulfate-free and pH-buffered, so it suits most sensitive eyes when used as directed. Apply only to the brows and the upper lash line rather than into the eye, insert contact lenses after it has dried, and patch test before first use, discontinuing if any irritation occurs.

Why is this called a hybrid formulation?

It is a hybrid because it combines disclosed peptides with botanical bioactives in one serum. Three peptides, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, biotinoyl tripeptide-1 and myristoyl pentapeptide-17, sit alongside a botanical complex of red clover, green tea, larch and rosemary, all chosen to support the appearance of fuller brow and lash density and disclosed in full on the pack. Peptide evidence is largely manufacturer and scalp-hair data; we name those limits on this page.
