L'Oreal Paris Clinically Proven Lash Serum Reviews

Having worked extensively in the salon environment, I've been exposed to lash serums for years. From boutique brands, to market leaders. From local 'natural' fortifiers to scientifically back, pumped full of lab-made chem lengtheners.

I was excited to try this - I saw in an email from Farmers this is going to retail at about 33 bucks - an insanely low price for a lash serum, way below what I'd considered 'cheap'.

And you might have guessed by my rating...but this works! It doesn't promise length, so if you're after spider legs for lashes, stick to multi-level-marketing mascaras. If you want a more full lash line, retained lashes and a generally more impressive eye area...get on board the L'Oreal train.

It's easy to use, the brush is fine. The clicky-twisty top dispenser is a bit annoying to use, but it works and it hasn't failed me yet.

You use this top and bottom. For me the most dramatic difference was my top lashline. Having to use twice a day is a chore to start, but like most things, if you just commit to doing it religiously, it becomes part of the routine.

I actually can't believe this salon snob is RAVING about a drugstore brand, but hey, if it works, it works. And if it works for a budget price...even better!

I was lucky enough to trial L'Oreal's new clinically proven lash serum before it hit the market here and was excited to experience it myself. Firstly, the packaging is about the size of a mascara wand, tubular and sleek with a white body and two silver ends - a lid, and a rotating base used to twist up product. While I liked the look of the packaging, I was forever pulling on the wrong end.

To apply the serum you twist the end and a small amount of product is dispersed through a brush, which you then apply along your lashline to the base of your lashes.The brush is much wider than my lash line but is really easy to use. I found that when twisting up product it comes out really easily and often too much comes out, resulting in wasted product.

The consistency of the serum is quite thick. After application it really coats your lashes and you need to give it time in the morning before applying eye makeup. The serum irritated my eyes at first but I have experienced this before with a lash serum and found that after some time of using it I got used to it and no longer experienced irritation.

Since I normally use a lash serum anyway so I decided to trial the L'Oreal version on one eye and my usual Revitalash on the other and see if I noticed any difference between the two.I applied both products each day as directed, Revitalash once in the evening before bed, and L'Oreal twice a day. The results after two months usage?

One of the serum's claims is less lash fall out. This is something I regularly noticed before the trial and I can say that I have noticed less lash fall out since using the serum. My lashes are also looking long and healthy. Without mascara I didn't really notice any difference between my two eyes. However upon applying mascara and closely examining them, I do think the lashes on my right eye (Revitaliash) are slightly longer. Unfortunately I don't have any lash length measurements but I will be posting before and after photos for comparison next week after I have my lash lift, as I had a lash lift at the beginning of the trial and having my "after" photos pre lash lift doesn't give a fair comparison.

Would I use the serum again myself? I probably wouldn't however I would recommend it to friends and family. Why? Personally I didn't like how thick the serum felt on my lashes and combined with the thick brush my lashes felt really gluggy just after applying it, which I don't get with my usual serum. I can also see that I have gotten slightly better results with my regular serum, which aren't dramatically different but worth the difference for me.

The L'Oreal serum has a way more affordable price point and because of it's proven results I would happily recommend it to others to try, either as their first lash serum or as an alternative to a pricier one they are currently using because with the price tag, EVERYONE should be on the lash serum train.

I have never tried an eye lash serum until now, although I’ve wanted to, and was very happy to be given the opportunity to trial this one.

It comes in a white tube with a silver piece at each end. One end is to force the product through to the other end, where the white brush absorbs the product to be brushed onto the eye lashes. The product itself is clear and thin, so doesn’t drip or run into my eyes. It is fragrance free – luckily when it’s so close to the eyes!

So, as per the instructions, I have been applying it by brushing it on my eye line then running the brush over my lashes to absorb any extra product, every morning straight after showering and every night immediately before going to bed. I started using it on 22 December. For the first two weeks I didn’t notice anything, then by the third week I started to notice my lashes getting thicker. By four weeks they were much thicker and by six weeks it was getting hard to apply eyeliner behind them. I have to say, my lashes feel stronger and I haven’t had any noticeable lash loss. Great results from a product that is so easy to use. I didn't try using it with mascara but it dries immediately and I could apply eye liner without it running, so I presume you can apply mascara a few minutes after application without any problems.

It’s very good and I really like it. I have put pics on the photo wall but I don’t think my poor photography really sells the product as well as it should be sold. In any case, it is a very good product and I recommend trying it.

I've always been a fan of lash serums. Prior to this trial I was using Lilash - and had been using it for over 6 months - so for this trial I was starting with relatively long lashes. (Before After photos will be on Photowall). In these photos I have been using the product for exactly 60 days. The packaging suggests the best results are seen at about 8-12 weeks which is about right with my results at just over 8 weeks.

The L'oreal lash serum comes in a small box with all it's clinical results written over the front. The thing I noticed about the statistics is that this serum didn't make any claims on longer lashes - instead the product focused on reduced lash loss, improving the look of your lashes so they look thicker and fuller on the ends. Like it says on the box - this is a 'Lash-Caring' product. And on those claims, I found that this product does deliver. If you're thinking of a product to deliver longer lashes - then this product isn't about that.

The applicator itself, I love. It's a pen with a brush on one end, and a winder to disburse product on the other end. You wind the end about 3-4 clicks to get product on the brush. I generally wound it just enough so the brush felt slightly wet - and maybe an extra click to do the second eye. Application is easy - just brush along the base of the lashes - top and bottom. I found the formula didn't irritate or sting - and after a couple of minutes it had absorbed/dried really well and mascara applied without issue.

The results themselves - I didn't notice changes too much until maybe the 6 week mark. I had expected that all my lash growth from the previous product would diminish and it did taper back a little, which was a little sad, but in saying that the health of my lashes still looked pretty good and better than when I use no lash serum product. I hadn't had a lash tint in that 60 days, whereas Day 1 of this trial my lashes were freshly tinted but no mascara. Day 60 photos are natural lashes, no tint, no mascara.

Eye lash loss is trickier because I don't generally notice losing lashes but I don't feel I lost more lashes that when I used other products.

Overall, for my lashes without a lash tint I was impressed they'd retained most of their thickness and looked healthy. Although there was no lengthening benefits I didn't lose all the length I'd gained from the other serum.

I like really long lashes at the moment, so while product wouldn't be my product of choice now. I'd likely buy it if I want to return to more natural healthy looking lashes. The price point is very good compared to lash growth serums. It's a great option for someone with a tighter budget.

I will continue it till its finished. I'm curious as to how much thicker looking the lashes can get and may pick it up when I tire of my long lashes leaving mascara on my upper lids.

Thank you BR for a fabulous trial product.

My lashes like to bestow wishes upon me. I'll find them on my cheeks, my pillow, my index finger after an eye-rub. I actually avoid wearing mascara, even though I love it, because when I remove it a Lash Fallout commences.

I was so happy to be chosen for this trial - I went into it with excitement and hope and not only was I not disappointed. I was genuinely wowed.

I didn't find the box or tube particularly appealing, but also inoffensive. It was just all a bit cluttered.

I liked the thick brush - obviously I apply the serum sans spectacles, so the wide brush saved a lot of leaning into the mirror. The serum is quite tacky I felt, I could definitely feel it on my lash line immediately after application, but it absorbed in quickly.

I noticed results around week 3 in terms of less lash fallout. By week 5 I had a full lash line. It has changed the confidence I had for my eyes. I used to avoid mascara, and as a result, avoid eye shadow, because I didn't want to draw attention to my lashes. Now, I can comfortably wear mascara, and I'm not left with a bunch of lashes on the cotton pad when I remove it.

I could only find information on the RRP of this in other countries, so I'm really keen to find out when I can restock, and how much it will cost. But trust me when I say this - they could charge me the last canteen of water in the Apocalypse and I would give it to them. It's that good.

My eyelashes are probably considered average in length but are sparse in the inner corners and do lack volume. To date I have been using this serum twice a day for just over 60 days.

The packaging of the eyelash serum is white with a chrome lid. It's quite clinical looking but  appealing. The application brush is different to what I have used previously with eyelash serums. It's a thick but very flexible soft brush, which is prefect for the delicate eye area. To use you need to click the end of the tube around to release the serum. This design was frustrating at times as more offen then not a few click brought nothing up. This caught me out on several occasions as I would keep clicking until suddenly too much was released, it was easy to apply once you got the serum out though. I applied it morning and night along the root of the eyelash as directed on the package. The serum is clear like other eyelash serums and it has a slight smell but not offensive.

On the box it claims that people who trialled it agreed that: it helps strengthens lashes; they saw a reduction in the number of eyelashes lost and it helped their lashes look fuller. It took me about 6 weeks to notice a real difference but I do agreed with the above claims. My eyelashes at 8 weeks appeared much stronger, glossier and fuller and the spare eyelashes in the corner of my eyelids have grown out. These results are quite  noticeable when I apply mascara as I have more volume and definition and there tend to be less lashes lost when I remove eye make up. I don't believe it made my eyelashes look any longer but the serum never claims to do this.   I think it is a great alternative to more expensive lash serums on the market for $29.95. I didn't experience any nasty side effects like redness or stinging around my eyelid or unwanted hair growth on other areas near my eye. Comparing it to lilash which I have used previously. I found it much more conditioning in that it strengthened and made my lashes look fuller but it obviously didn't increased the length of my eyelashes like lilash did so in all fairness it's hard to compare the two when lilash is marketed as a growth serum.

I would certainly recommend this eyelash serum if you are not too worried about increasing your eyelash length and are more interested in conditioning and strengthening your eyelashes. I will probably repurchase too once it runs out.

This is the first lash serum I have used and I was really impressed. I've been using this for around 8 week now (just before New Years) and have noticed a huge difference in the appearance and generally feeling of my lashes.

My lashes feel stronger, and i don't seem to lose as many lashes when taking my makeup off! My lashes are more defined after applying mascara and definitely feel like they're in a much better, healthier condition (probably due to less fall out and the general length of them now). Its a lightweight serum and doesn't sting whatsoever which i was worried about, also doesn't cause my eyes to water either.

One negative for me would be though, that it did generally find it rather messy to apply and generally quite difficult (though I guess this doesn't differ from any other lash serum product?). I also am not overly a fan of the packaging where you twist the product at the bottom and then the serum starts to come through the brush bristles - I normally start off being super careful, and then frustrated because no product is coming out, to then being inpatient and twisting it a few more times and a tonne of product comes out - so I end up wasting excess product. Its hard to tell from the packaging too how much you have used, so not sure how long the serum will last me.

The product does feels a bit sticky when it starts to dry but i find thats only for a few seconds and also may be due to me applying more than needed. I found that I had to let the serum dry completely before putting my mascara on or it went clumpy.

Overall though, I do feel that my lashes feel more conditioned and I generally love my lashes appearance – they have started to look much fuller, thicker and overall healthier. I can easily see a big difference when applying mascara. Will continue to use, but keen to try another brand to compare :)

My lashes are normally short and sparse, so I was keen to try this lash serum to see if it made a difference. I purchased it from Farmers with 40% off which was a great saving off the normal price which is still quite cheap compared to some other lash serums. I applied the serum twice a day before applying any makeup, waiting about 20 minutes for it to settle. Easy to apply, not thin or runny, a bit sticky but soon dries and a very small amount is needed. My lashes look and feel thicker and slightly longer, not much but with using over a longer time period I think my lashes will improve even more. I would recommend this product if you are on a budget and don't want to spend too lot on lash serums, also it does make a difference to your lashes if you persevere with it.

I have very meh lashes, so I was super excited to get on this trial team.

The serum comes in a similar container to a fat eyeliner or brow pen, but has a soft brush at the end that looks more like a lip brush. At the other end you twist for product to come out. The product then comes out through the middle of the brush as a lump of product (so one twist is plenty). Except for the first time - it took a lot of twisting that time to get any product to come through at all. There were also no instructions on the box which I felt was an oversight.

The instructions for use are twice a day on upper and lower lash line. I found remembering to use it twice a day was the biggest challenge. Once was easy, twice just seemed harder. The product could also be a little challenging to distribute when too much came out (at that point I disregarding the brush and massaged it in with my fingertip).

In terms of change, about 6 weeks in I noticed my lashes looked a little longer (but not thicker), by the end of the trial I think they may have grown fractionally more.

However, there was enough growth that my mascara game has never been so good.

I have also included some photos of my lash experience on the photowall.
