I was really excited to be on this trial team as I love, love, love lash serums and am always eager to try one that will give me outrageous growth, length and fullness. Now before I go further into this review I need to give a bit of a background on myself so you have an idea of what sort of challenges lash serums I use are up against. I've struggled with trich for the majority of my life. Trich is an OC disorder where you pull your hair. Unfortunately the main hairs I've pulled when I started when I was really young was my lashes and I still struggle from time to time with pulling them. The repeated pulling over the years means that when they slowly grow back in the growth is naturally sparse, the lashes are super fine and because they've been pulled out so many times I've actually lost a little bit of the length naturally. Alright back to the review.
So with this lash serum you have to apply this morning and night to clean lash lines before applying makeup or mascara. It comes in pen with a brush on one end and you crank the bottom to get the serum on to the brush. I liked the idea that the product is I guess fresher since you're only cranking it up as you need it. However it's a bit tricky since the product comes out so slowly that you don't know if you cranked up too much till it comes out and I ended up wasting product a few times since as once you've completed your application the remaining product sits on the brush applicator and if you store it with brush end down then it just drips into the cap or if you store it with the brush end up then it just drips down the capped part of the applicator. I like that the serum is thick enough so that it doesn't drip into your eyes immediately after application but on the days that I applied too much and it did come in contact with my eyeballs it didn't sting them. In fact the whole duration of the trial I didn't have any irritation at all. The viscosity of the serum makes the brush hairs splay out in opposite directions so you are applying the serum with two brush points, if that makes sense. Despite that I didn't find the brush too pokey or rough for my lash line. The ingredients in this lash serum are - water, alcohol denat, hydroxyethylcellulose, pentylene glycol, aminopropyl triethoxysilane, PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil, madecassoside, phenoxyethanol, polysobate 21, lactic acid, methylparaben, castor seed oil, sodium hylauronate, arginine, serine, citric acid, pathenol, glutanic acid, threonine, proline, alanine, cysteine (FIL B210573/1). I kept a log of the results I got weekly from this lash serum.
Week 1 Don't really see any results but very few lash serums give results after one week.
Week 2 My lashes seem to be a bit softer and less prone to breaking at the tips. I haven't seen an increase in length or fullness that is out of the norm.
this product works well for the price, it is definitely not the best lash serum out there but if money is tight I would recommend trying it. It helped stop my lashes from falling out as easily but then again I'm not sure If it actua;;y grew them.
