Test Protocol & Methodology

Study Design

12-week application study under dermatological supervision.

Data collection was carried out systematically at weeks 0, 4, 8 and 12. The analysis was based on standardised self-evaluation questionnaires and Canfield imaging for objective progress monitoring.

Participants

Strict selection criteria for valid results.

Of 22 enrolled women, 21 were included in the final statistical evaluation (age range 20–65 years). To avoid distortions, healthy skin around the eye area, refraining from eyelash extensions, and a serum-free lead-in period of 12 months were mandatory prerequisites.

Measurement

Differentiated analysis of growth parameters.

The evaluation is based primarily on a 5-point scale (self-evaluation) and secondarily on high-resolution Canfield images (n=20). To rule out an overestimation of volume due to potential mascara residues in the baseline images (week 0), a deliberately conservative and critical assessment of density data was applied.

Application

High compliance through simple integration.

Application was performed once daily in the evening on cleansed, oil-free skin along the upper lash line. During the test period, eyelash extensions, lash lifts or perms were avoided. The documented application compliance reached a peak average of 4.50 out of 5.0 points.

Results After 12 Weeks

Primary

Visibly longer lashes

12 weeks

81%

confirmed lash lengthening in participants' self-evaluation after 12 weeks.


  • 67% already after 4 weeks of use.
  • 76% after 8 weeks of use.

n = 21 · self-evaluation · continuously increasing trend.

Supplementary

Maximum individual length increase

Canfield week 12

+39%

was the strongest documented individual case in the Canfield length evaluation.


  • Further peak values: up to +32% intensity and up to +22% visible lash area.
  • Participants with lower baseline values tended to benefit more.

n = 20 · Canfield individual data · no average promise

Development over time: results of the self-evaluation.

At the start of the study, 71% of participants were dissatisfied with the length or fullness of their lashes.

Length

Continuous lengthening

The proportion of participants with longer or noticeably longer lashes increased steadily across all three measurement points.

Week 4
67%
Week 8
76%
Week 12
81%

From week 4 to week 12, the perceived length improved consistently and was clearly visible for the majority of women.

Strength

Delayed strengthening

The most significant change in perceived lash strength only became apparent towards the end of the 12-week application period.

Week 4
14%
Week 8
24%
Week 12
53%

The perceived strengthening of the lash structure developed noticeably upwards primarily in the final third of the application study.

Formulation

Hormone-free.
From the start.

The formulation of the 8T3 Lash & Brow Serum is based on MAL-838, the soluble form of the body's own protein sCD83, and stands for visible results without hormones or prostaglandin analogues.

To the Lash & Brow Serum

With just four ingredients

The 8T3 Lash & Brow Serum works without hormones and without prostaglandin analogues (PGA). Instead, it relies on a biotechnologically produced peptide active ingredient (sh-Polypeptide-167) that requires only four ingredients.

Hormone-free PGA-free Vegan 4 ingredients

Tolerability in the study

Under dermatological supervision, the serum was tested for ocular mucous membrane irritation, changes in iris colour and the development of dark circles. None of these adverse events occurred.

Individual reactions cannot be excluded.

Contextualising the Study Data

Study basis:

21 participants, 12 weeks

  • Once-daily application over a period of 12 weeks.
  • Systematic documentation (questionnaire and photography) at baseline and after 4, 8 and 12 weeks.
  • Conducted under specialist dermatological supervision.

This evaluation brings together two complementary levels: the subjective self-evaluation of participants and the supplementary, objective Canfield photo documentation. Both methods provide solid evidence of efficacy, but do not allow blanket generalisation for every individual case.

Individual factors such as the natural hair cycle, baseline lash density and regularity of application influence results even with a standardised methodology.

By the end of the 12-week application period, not every participant showed a measurable change. While statistical averages describe the overall group, they do not replace consideration of individual differences in progression. Results may therefore vary from person to person.

Although the product is designed as a Lash & Brow Serum, the data published here relates exclusively to the parameters measured for lashes. Therefore, no numerical statements regarding efficacy on eyebrows are made on this page.

The Canfield evaluations also showed that participants with a less pronounced baseline tended to show the strongest visible improvements. This observation serves to provide realistic context and should not be understood as a general average claim.

The individual evaluation of 20 participants after 12 weeks documented increases of up to 39% in length, up to 32% in intensity and up to 22% in area.

Participants with lower baseline values tended to show the strongest effects. Please note: these values are reported as documented peak values and do not represent a group average.

The computer-assisted evaluation was carried out in defined measurement fields based on standardised macro images. This approach ensures that the results are calculated against the respective individual baseline and not against an abstract reference value.

As individual baseline images (week 0) showed visible mascara residues, the volume values in the analysis were assessed more conservatively than the length or strength parameters in order to ensure maximum data integrity.
