Most treatment serums address either antioxidant defense or collagen support — rarely both, and almost never DNA repair. Skin Boost Gel was built to work across all three. Targeted peptides support collagen production while inhibiting collagen breakdown. Stable Vitamin C delivers antioxidant protection that holds up in real conditions. And a rare, photo-activated enzyme — delivered via liposomal technology — supports the repair of UV-induced DNA damage at the cellular level.
This is particularly relevant in Colorado's high-UV, high-altitude environment, where cumulative sun exposure accelerates collagen degradation and DNA stress faster than at sea level. Dr. Asarch designed this formula for patients who needed more than surface-level results.
Peptides. Antioxidants. DNA repair support. All three, clinical concentration.
Tripeptide-1 and Tripeptide-10 Citrulline work at the collagen matrix level — signaling fibroblasts to produce new collagen while helping inhibit the enzymes (MMPs) responsible for collagen breakdown. The result over time is skin that holds its structure better and feels firmer and more resilient.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate delivers stable, bioavailable Vitamin C that converts to ascorbic acid on contact with skin — neutralizing free radicals generated by UV exposure without the oxidative instability that makes standard L-ascorbic acid formulas degrade rapidly.
The Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract — a photo-activated enzyme encapsulated in liposomes for targeted delivery — supports the skin's natural repair of UV-induced DNA damage. This is a rare active in consumer skincare and a deliberate inclusion for patients in high-UV environments.
Results timeline: Improved skin tone and surface radiance are typically noticed within 2–4 weeks. Improvements in firmness, texture, and visible signs of aging develop over 6–12 weeks of consistent use.
Every ingredient in this formula is here for a documented reason, at a concentration that actually works.
Tripeptide-1 + Tripeptide-10 Citrulline
Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-10 Citrulline
Supports collagen production and inhibits collagen breakdown
These two peptides work as a system. Tripeptide-1 signals fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. Tripeptide-10 Citrulline helps regulate collagen fiber organization and inhibits the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that break down existing collagen. Together they address both sides of the collagen equation — production and preservation.
Formulated together at functional concentrations — not as individual trace inclusions for label appeal.
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
Stable antioxidant protection and collagen co-factor support
A phosphate ester form of Vitamin C that converts to ascorbic acid on contact with skin — delivering the same antioxidant and collagen co-factor benefits without the instability of standard L-ascorbic acid. At altitude, where UV index is significantly higher, maintaining an active antioxidant shield throughout the day is a formulation requirement, not a luxury.
Chosen specifically for its stability in gel formulations. Standard Vitamin C oxidizes rapidly and turns inactive — this form doesn't.
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract
Supports repair of UV-induced DNA damage via liposomal delivery
A photo-activated enzyme derived from a deep-sea microorganism, encapsulated in liposomes for targeted delivery into skin cells. Once inside, it supports the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers — the specific DNA lesions caused by UV radiation that accumulate with repeated sun exposure. This is one of the rarest actives in consumer skincare, included here because Colorado's UV exposure demands it.
This isn't a marketing active. It's a documented mechanism for addressing cumulative UV-induced cellular damage — exactly what high-altitude skin needs.
Marine Extracts Complex
Laminaria Digitata Extract, Plankton Extract, Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract
Antioxidant defense and skin resilience support
Laminaria Digitata (brown algae) and Plankton Extract provide marine-sourced antioxidants and polysaccharides that support skin surface defense against environmental stress. Brewer's Yeast Extract contributes beta-glucans and amino acids that support skin barrier resilience. Together these form the supporting antioxidant layer that works alongside Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate.
Completes the defense system. Every ingredient in this formula has a specific, documented job.
Skin Boost Gel is a lightweight, advanced treatment designed to support skin regeneration, collagen integrity, and long-term resilience. Formulated with targeted peptides and bioactive proteins, it helps address the natural decline in collagen quality and structure associated with aging.
The formula supports collagen production while helping limit collagen breakdown, promoting firmer, smoother-looking skin. Antioxidant support helps defend against environmental stressors that contribute to visible aging.
Skin Boost Gel also features a rare, photo-activated enzyme delivered through liposomal technology, designed to support the repair of UV-induced DNA damage and enhance the skin’s natural recovery processes. Its fast-absorbing gel texture layers seamlessly into daily routines without weight or residue.

Climate performance
Skin Boost Gel. Built for High-UV Environments. Proven Everywhere.
Colorado sits at an elevation where UV intensity is 25–50% higher than at sea level. That means accelerated collagen degradation, greater oxidative stress, and cumulative UV-induced DNA damage that most skincare formulas aren't equipped to address. Standard antioxidant serums weren't designed for this level of environmental load.
Dr. Asarch formulated Skin Boost Gel specifically for patients whose skin was under this kind of sustained stress. Stable Vitamin C that doesn't oxidize before it works. Peptides that target both sides of the collagen equation. And a photo-activated DNA repair enzyme that addresses the cellular damage standard serums ignore entirely.
When a treatment serum is formulated for Colorado's UV load, it's more than enough for anywhere else.

In their own words
"The cleanser is where every routine either earns its results or loses them. I needed a formula that genuinely prepared the skin, so that what came next could actually do its job. Not just clean. Prepare."
Dr. Richard Asarch, MD, FAAD | Founder, DermaSpa RX
"I've been using DermaSpa RX for a while now, and I can truly see a difference in my skin. It looks healthier, feels softer, and stays noticeably more hydrated, which matters a lot living in Denver, where the climate is so dry. The esthetician at a well-known spa was genuinely impressed with how hydrated and smooth my skin was when I mentioned I was from Denver."

"I have used all of the DERMAspaRX products over the past 10 months and the improvement in my skin has been remarkable. At 71, I have tried countless skincare products from dermatologists as well as boutique product lines, and I can say that the DERMAspaRX products have made a bigger difference than any of them."

FAQs
Can I use Skin Boost Gel every day?
Yes. Skin Boost Gel is designed for daily use. The gel texture absorbs quickly and doesn't interfere with other products in your routine. Apply it as Step 3 — after Hydrating B has absorbed and before Reclaim Plus. Most users apply it morning and evening for consistent antioxidant and peptide support throughout the day and overnight repair cycle.
What makes the DNA repair enzyme in Skin Boost Gel different?
Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract is a photo-activated enzyme derived from a deep-sea microorganism and delivered into skin cells via liposomal encapsulation. Once absorbed, it supports the repair of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, the specific DNA lesions caused by UV radiation. This is a rare active in consumer skincare. Most serums address the downstream effects of UV damage. This one targets the cellular source.
Is this suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
Generally yes. The formula doesn't contain retinol, exfoliating acids, or fragrance-forward irritants. The peptide and antioxidant actives are well-tolerated across most skin types. If you have very reactive skin, introduce it once daily in the evening first and assess over one to two weeks. The gel base is lightweight and non-occlusive, which typically reduces the risk of sensitivity reactions.
How long before I see results?
Improved skin tone and surface radiance are typically noticeable within two to four weeks of consistent use, primarily from the stable Vitamin C and antioxidant support. Improvements in firmness, texture, and visible signs of aging develop over six to twelve weeks as the peptide and collagen-support mechanisms take effect. DNA repair benefits are cumulative — the longer and more consistently you use it, the more protection you build.
Can I use this with retinol or other active serums?
Yes. Skin Boost Gel is designed to pair with Reclaim Plus (Step 4), which contains retinol and additional anti-aging peptides. Apply Skin Boost Gel first, allow it to absorb, then layer Reclaim Plus on top. The stable Vitamin C in Skin Boost Gel is compatible with retinol, unlike L-ascorbic acid at low pH, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate doesn't destabilize retinol formulations.
Why is Skin Boost Gel especially important in high-altitude or high-UV climates?
At Colorado's elevation, UV intensity is 25–50% higher than at sea level. That means faster collagen degradation, greater oxidative stress on skin cells, and higher cumulative UV-induced DNA damage. Standard antioxidant serums weren't formulated for this level of environmental load. Skin Boost Gel addresses all three angles, antioxidant defense, collagen support, nd DNA repair, specifically because Dr. Asarch's Colorado patients needed more than conventional serums could deliver.
Everywhere you go, your face gets there first. Treat it well, it's the story you show the world.
