Introduction
Eyelash serums are now a trending topic amongst the beauty world. While their effectiveness is often discussed, it's hard to discern fact from fiction in testimonials and before-and-after photos. In this article, we'll clear up some common myths regarding eyelash serums and explain what effects you can really expect to see. Let's discover the truth about eyelash serums together!
Myth 1: Eyelash Serums Work Instantly
The belief that eyelash serums work instantly is fiction. What we should be taking note of is that understanding the natural lash growth cycle is key.
Lash Growth Cycle
The lash cycle consists of three stages: growth(Anagen), regression(Catagen), and resting(Telogen).
The length of the growth phase determines the length of your lashes. In the regression phase, growth slows down and the hair follicle shrinks. Subsequently, during the resting phase, old lashes fall out naturally while new ones prepare to grow.
✍️This cycle occurs independently for each lash and takes approximately 4-8 weeks.
Eyelash serums aim to support this natural cycle, promoting healthy lash growth. Therefore, immediate results are not typical, and consistent use over time is necessary to see benefits.
Scientific Evidence for Peptide-Based Eyelash Serums
Unquestionably, it's crucial to have scientific backing for real effects. Thus, I have found an interesting journal article which I'll summarise for you.
It assessed how peptide-containing serums improve the appearance of lashes and eyebrows. Healthy adult women applied a peptide extract to their lashes and brows daily for 12 weeks. The study found that by week 8, lash length had increased by an average of 3.7mm, and new eyebrow follicles were more visible.
This research suggests that peptide-based serums are a safe and effective way to enhance the appearance of eyelashes and eyebrows.
The peptide-based serum is proven to be effective with continuous use for eight weeks.
Myth 2: All Eyelash Serums Have the Same Ingredients
The ingredients in eyelash serums can vary significantly. Different brands create serums with unique ingredients tailored to various lash needs.
Main Ingredients and Their Benefits
Here, we introduce three key ingredients commonly found in many products and their benefits:
1. Peptides: Supports lash growth, strengthening and lengthening lashes.
2. Biotin (Vitamin B7): Maintains and strengthens lash health, preventing damage and hair loss.
3. Hyaluronic Acid: A well-known moisturising component that keeps lashes supple, protecting them from dryness.
Myth 3: Eyelash Serums Have No Side Effects
Hypersensitivity reactions to eyelash serums
Eyelash serums are generally safe to use.
Eyelash serums are a wonderful way to enhance the eyes, but care should be taken to avoid hypersensitivity reactions to the delicate skin around the eyes.
Common reactions can include mild irritation and redness, which may occur if the serum's ingredients cause a reaction on sensitive skin. It is common knowledge that other cosmetics also cause some kind of hypersensitivity reaction when they are not suitable for one’s skin. In this case, it is no different.
Reactions such as abnormal eyelash growth, eye dryness or obvious pigmentation may also be reported with products containing certain eyelash growth-promoting ingredients (mainly those registered as medicines). These ingredients were originally used for other purposes, but have recently been marketed as eyelash-growing serums as they have become known to affect eyelash growth.
To avoid hypersensitivity reactions, it is important to choose ingredients with great precaution and follow the instructions for its exact use. It is recommended to choose products containing naturally derived ingredients and to perform a patch test prior.
Correct use and careful research can safely bring out the beauty of your lashes.

Guidelines for safe use
Follow the usage and guidelines to ensure safe-use of the eyelash serum!
1. Read product instructions carefully: Read the product instructions closely before handling and ensure you understand the recommended use prior starting. 2.
2. Perform a patch test: Before using a new serum, perform a patch test on a thin area of skin, such as the inside of the arm, to ensure there are no hypersensitivity reactions.
3. Use the right amount: a small amount of serum is effective. Excessive application increases the risk of contact with the eyes. Please follow the instructions displayed under the instruction label carefully.
4. Apply at the base of the eyelashes: Apply the serum directly to the base of the eyelashes, avoiding contact with the mucous membrane of the eye. This is the same way as applying eyeliner!
5. Consistent use: The serum should be used regularly for maximum results.
'Use or no use' may delay the appearance of results.
6. Cleanliness: It is recommended to keep the applicator clean and replace it with a new product every three months for hygiene purposes.
Consult a specialist if side effects appear
If side effects are experienced, consult a dermatologist or ophthalmologist. Good health practice comes first.
Myth 4: The More Expensive the Eyelash Serum, the More Effective It Is
You often hear "cheap is bad" or "expensive is good." Does this also apply to eyelash serums?
In my experience - expensive products are not necessarily the best.
What is critical is what is in the product. What ingredients are used and what effect they have on our eyelashes is the key. If the product fits your budget, and you have checked and are satisfied with the ingredients that will suit your needs, you can achieve great lashes at a modest price. And reviews from people who have used the product are also important.
This will help you find the perfect eyelash serum for you!
