Top 5 Eyelash Growth Serums That Actually Work!

    How Eyelash Growth Serums Can Help Make Lashes Longer and Healthier (Without Surgery or Extensions!)

    If you’re like most women, you’re always looking for a way to make your lashes look longer and healthier. While mascaras and extensions can help, they often cause more harm than good, creating a cycle of using falsies and makeup then subsequently destroying your natural lashes. That’s where eyelash growth serums come in to play!

    Eyelash growth serums provide peptides and nutrients to the follicle and root of the lash to stimulate growth while providing much needed hydration and support. The longer you use lash serum, the healthier your lashes will look and the longer they’ll stay within the root, creating a thicker more luscious look. 

    But of course, with any promising product comes dozens of imitators and knock-off beauty products that promise a lot but deliver very little. Which eyelash growth serums will give you healthier, more luscious lashes? That’s where we come in. We ranked 5 of eyelash growth serums that are worth trying.

    What to Look For in an Eyelash Growth Serum:

    With dozens of eyelash growth serums out there all with different ingredients and different promises, it’s hard to know which is best for you. However, there are some general elements to look for in a good eyelash serum.

    It’s important to look at the ingredients of the eyelash growth serums you’re considering. You want to avoid alcohol-based ingredients along with anything that’s not derived from natural extracts if possible.

    What Can You Expect After 4 to 6 Weeks

    The trouble with picking an eyelash serum is that even the best serums won’t show results at least for 4 weeks. 

    However, with consistent use your eyelash follicles will begin to look thicker and grow longer. Most importantly, the serum should activate root follicles that stopped growing.

    The root stimulation, caused by clearing dirt and oil and stimulating blood flow, will give you thicker lashes from activating more hair follicles.

    What Ingredients Make a Good Eyelash Growth Serum

    Peptides

    Peptides are unique amino acids that can help stimulate growth through building stronger lashes and helping keep the follicle protected from free radicals.

    Vitamin B (Biotin)

    A very common ingredient than can help hair, skin, and nail growth. When specifically placed on the like eyelid and lash root, it can help draw in much-needed hydration while building the strength of hair follicles.

    Vitamin B5

    Various studies have shown Vitamin B5 to help protect and rebuild hair shafts for longer-lasting follicle growth. 

    Citric Acid

    Many lash serums don’t include it, but some type of natural citric acid is very helpful in removing unwanted free radicals, dirt, and excess oil. One of the most important elements to longer, healthier lashes is removing the toxins that are clogging pores and skin. By removing the free radicals you’re guaranteeing maximum growth.

    Beware: Harmful Fillers

    Parabens

    Harmful to the hair follicle and hair growth, parabens can disrupt healthy growth function and irritate the skin, making the application process much harder. 

    Prostaglandins

    At first a common ingredient in many successful eyelash growth serums, recently the FDA prohibited the use of the ingredient for causing irritation, rashes, and in some cases, changes to the color of the iris. While it is prohibited, it can sometimes still be found in some serums so beware!

    9.1/10

    A-

    OVERALL GRADE

    PROS

      Innovative curled tip for precise, effective eyelash enhancement.

      Unique, under-the-radar brand focusing on product quality.

      Compact size for easy travel and convenience.

    CONS

      Relatively unknown brand, limiting its popularity.

      Smaller bottle size necessitates frequent purchases.

      Higher cost due to premium applicator design.

    The Bottom Line

    A perfectly curled tip to apply a strong eyelash enhancer is really something you'll want. This is a somewhat unknown brand so they fly under the radar with a lot of people, but we think they make a good product. The bottle is rather small however, so make sure to buy a few at a time.

    8.9/10

    TOTAL RANKING

    B+

    OVERALL GRADE

    PROS

      Utilizes natural ingredients for lash and brow growth.

      Does not cause eye irritation.

    CONS

      Only about 51% effectiveness rate for eyelash growth.

      Results are uncertain, akin to flipping a coin.

      Does not guarantee visually appealing eyelashes.

    Coringco has garnered some great press for its natural ingredients and claims to use healthier supplements to improve your eyelash and eyebrow growth. But does it work? Not so much. There’s about a 51% effectiveness rate, which means you’re flipping a coin on your lashes. At the very least, it won’t burn your eyes, you just won’t have eyelashes people like looking at.

    8.1/10

    B-

    OVERALL GRADE

    PROS

      Safe due to all-natural ingredients.

      Affordable for budget-conscious consumers.

      Promotes healthy lashes with consistent use.

    CONS

      Results may not meet high expectations.

      Effectiveness varies; some users see limited improvement.

      More affordable options available with similar benefits.

    The Bottom Line

    BeyondJo provides a well-concentrated serum. It’s all-natural ingredients make it safe. It can help keep lashes healthy, but I haven’t seen extremely great results. If you’re working on a budget, there’s no reason not to try this, just don’t expect miracles.

    CONS

      Unhealthy chemical ingredients.

      Bottle only a quarter filled.

    The Bottom Line

    The terrible Amazon reviews might be a tip off, but if you took the risk you’d find unhealthy chemical ingredients, ineffective results, and a quarter-filled bottle that really makes you wonder what you’re paying for. BEWARE, it’s not worth it.
