Whether you are eyelash artists, or ordinary consumers, in the process of listening to everyone probably know that eyelash growth fluid has always been a very magical thing.
I once advised a friend to get eyelash grafts so her eyes would look bigger and more beautiful. “I don’t want any,” she replied. “I just need eyelash growth serum. I feel my eyelashes have been growing a little bit. I’m considering to buy another one and my eyelash will grow longer.”
Does eyelash growth serum really work? Should we give customers eyelash growth serum or not? Should the stores sell lashes growth serum or not?

About eyelash growth serum
At present, there are many brands of eyelash growth serum on the market. A Japanese brand of eyelash growth serum has even created a series of brands, specializing in the related products of eyelash growth serum.
We selected more than 20 common brands of eyelash growth serum for screening and research, and found that eyelash growth serum can be roughly divided into two categories: eyelash nourishing and eyelash growing.
Eyelash nourishing
Nourishing eyelash growth fluid is generally plant extract nourishing essence, plus adhesives (is similar to the function of mascara), vaseline and wax, piled up on the eyelash, you can feel your eyelash a little stronger.
There are a lot of extracts listed in the ingredients, but the real effective ingredients are the two “binders” in the middle (hydroxyethyl cellulose and VP/VA copolymer).
In the end, it’s just a matter of making the lashes look bulky and slightly longer.
If you have just grafted eyelashes, this kind of lash lotion is still recommended to use. The effects are debatable, but these nutrients can, at least psychologically, satisfy the so-called sense of repair.
Nourishing eyelash growth fluid covers most of the products on the market, such as DHC, CANMAKE, AVANCE, Petrov, etc., the price is relatively low, generally around $15.
Eyelash growing
The eyelash growth class is the addition of something called Bimatoprost. So the question is, what is Bimatoprost?
The story is that in 1999 Allergan, the largest pharmaceutical company in the United States, better known as the company that is best suited to Botox, was developing a drug specifically for glaucoma called Lumigan.
During clinical trials, a curious “side effect” was discovered: patients’ eyelashes grew longer. So in 2008 they launched out a new cosmetic formulation product- Latisse, which is used to treat thinning eyelashes. (Latisse is actually the same thing as Lumigan, an eye blood pressure drug.)
This is the grandparent of all ” Bimatoprost ” type eyelash growth serum, such as Miyuerun, Talika, Rapid Lash, and many others, most of which are made from Bimatoprost.
But Bimatoprost seems to have some side effects
First: the dark eye skin redness, the eye skin has a slight swelling feeling.
Second: conjunctival congestion, which occurs in more than 10% of patients.
Other effects include blurry vision, redness of the eyes and eyelids, burning or other discomfort of the eyes, and blackening of the iris.
Because of these side effects, companies are lowering the concentration of Bimatoprost in their products to prevent such side effects and reduce consumer panic.
Conclusion
The eyelash growth category is effective for consumers with sparse eyelashes, but it also has certain side effects.
The eyelash nourishing category can be determined according to the condition of your own eyelashes.
As an eyelash therapist, it’s natural to want to push eyelash growth serum for your customers. However, if the customer’s own lashes are in good condition and the effect of the grafted lashes will be better, then there is no need to recommend the use of eyelash growth serum.
As an ordinary consumer, in the case of engrafted eyelashes, no matter the condition of their own eyelashes is good or bad, you can try to use nourishing eyelash growth serum;
In the case of grafted eyelashes, if the grafting is always healthy, there is almost no damage to your own eyelashes and you can do without it. However, if your own eyelashes are damaged after grafting, it is recommended to use nourishing eyelash growth serum.
