I have used lash serums for years. Starting out I tried the cheapest ones and moved up through the price tags, looking for better results. The more money I paid, the better my lashes got. Eventually, I had the longest, strongest, thickest lashes I’ve ever had. I was delighted with the results!! I noticed my eyes becoming a bit more bloodshot than normal - but on bad days I just used some eye drops! I saw the skin around my eyes turning pinky/red, but I just covered that with concealer. Nothing was going to stop me from having these lovely lashes!! Over the years this got more & more noticeable. To the point where people would comment about how sore my eyes looked, but I just made excuses and continued. Then, the eye watering started. And it didn’t stop. My eyes were red, watering all day like I was crying, so I went to the chemist and got some treatment. No difference. My eyes were PAINFUL. I could no longer wear any makeup and the constant tearing had put sores round the edges of my eyes. I was thinking up excuses not to go into work... One day, when finally I could take no more of this torture, I took a x20 mag mirror and looked at my eyes. Then i saw them. I had grown like a short, sharp, stubby second row of lashes on the inside of my eyelids that were rubbing on the surface of my eyes, day & night. Scratching & scraping at my eyeballs with every blink. I was HORRIFIED!! I had no option, I tweezed them all out there and then!!! I stopped using my serum. My eyes are no longer bloodshot, watering, sore or red-rimmed. My eyes have recovered with no real lasting damage, thankfully. I knew all along that the serum was the cause of my problem, but I had no idea WHAT the problem was!!!!!! I was addicted I suppose.

Even though Dr Dray doesn’t support using castor oil on lashes for growth, I still do it lol. I honestly do feel like it makes somewhat of a difference. If you look up Jennifer Meyer here on KZread she has several videos about using castor oil on her lashes for years. Of course I don’t know how long they were originally, but they almost look like false eyelashes now.

Dr Dray, thanks for changing my skin drastically! - i now wash my face only once a day, which makes me save time & money. - thanks to you I dont use the sponge with my PCA pigment bar. Which makes it last even longer. - i cut at least 4 steps in my routine. Again, time and money! - i stopped using products with fragrance and my eyes are not swollen all the time anymore. - i doubled the amount of sunscreen and noticed a big difference in hyper pigmentation No crazy break outs anymore My skin looks super clear, which leads me to stop using foundation everyday. Again, time and money!!! Thanks!

I may have been using too much; over the past week I’ve taken care to wipe the excess from the applicator back onto the rim of the tube (if that makes sense) instead of just glooping it on and the darkness on my lids seems to be getting better. Tbh, Dr. Dray scared me. Lol. I love my results but I don’t want dark, sunken eyes. I’m using GrandeLash + GrandeBrow to help replace hair I’ve lost to an autoimmune disease. But what good will it do to have luscious brows & lashes if my eyes become all sunken and ghastly?😂😭😂😭

Exactly! Only very very lightly dab on bottom of the upper lid lash, and obviously be super careful not to get it into the eye. No need to put on bottom lash. The bottom Lash will get treated from product on the upper li led when you sleep. Also, I’ve found I only need it twice a week but I bet once a week works also. (I’ve used revitalsh. Grandelash and latisse. I prefer Latisse because of the higher quality control and pharmaceutical testing, and it doesn’t have unnecessary ingredients that the knockoffs have, but it’s pricier and you have to get it from a doctor/medical office.

As someone who suffers from anxiety which makes me pick at my eyelashes and often rip them out, products like these have quite literally saved my eyes and eyelashes. While the risks mentioned in this video are possible, I have personally never experienced any of them. I have used revitalash for nearly 2 years now and it has strengthened my eyelashes immensely, helped them grow back quicker, and the added length was truly just a bonus. Several of my friends noticed how much it was helping me and have started using other products with great success and no side effects. It’s so important to consult with your doctors first when considering anything that is claiming to alter anything about your body but there are risks associated with everything. If you notice any of these changes or concerns just stop using immediately! Other than that if you’re curious about them I would recommend trying. Loved this video though to help inform people of what to look out for!

I do lash lifts and semi permanent lashes in my job. I love the results of both but I can say that I see the adverse effects of lash lifts. Firstly getting it done once in a while is fine they look great. But when I see frequent lash lift clients come in for semi permanent lashes I use magnifying goggles. I can often see under a magnification that these clients have lots of snapped lashes that stop before the lash naturally tapers. I don’t notice this with the semi permanent but I do hear a lot of people say they feel their lashes have thinned not clients but other colleagues who’ve tried them. I personally haven’t noticed this but my lashes aren’t great naturally anyway. Anyway to summarise I personally don’t mind the odd lash lift but I wouldn’t get it done constantly even when leaving the 8-10 week gap you should leave in between x

@@beautybrief114 thank you for this! I was wondering if it would be better to just use an eyelash curler, would it be less harmful than getting it lifted or having falsies put in? Also, I used to get my lashes lifted and the first time was great and I would wait months before having them done again. However, I went in the last time, my lashes seemed "crispy" and a lot fell out and it was curled differently than the first time, and it looked very unflattering. I dont know if the technician left it in too long but after that, I didnt go back.

@@infairvarona so it can over process either because it’s been processed previously or because it’s on too long/ its too strong for your lashes. Unfortunately one of the reasons I don’t like doing lash lifts as a lash tech is cause one persons lashes can be super tolerant and you barely get a lift and another persons can be weaker and over process. For example I’m ginger and redheads tend to have stronger more coarse hairs so mine don’t overprocess and the solution needs to be on longer to get a decent lift, but someone who’s got fine hair could get over processed much quicker & you can’t always tell what clients lashes will do which. I love the results you can get, and I would get it occasionally. And same with brow lamination I was doing that on myself all the time because I love the results and I was definitely shedding hairs faster from it. X

Maria Alvarez In order to get rid of dark circles you need to figure out what type of dark circles you have so you can treat them properly. You can tell by the colour, for example if you have a purple tint to your dark circles those are caused my vaso-dilation which can be reduced by restricting the blood vessels so using caffeine based eye creams can help (the ordinary caffeine drops are really good). However if your dark circles are brown that’s probably hyper pigmentation and its often permanent. I’d recommend you visit a dermatologist.

Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about trying this type of product. At 62 my lashes had become pretty sparse and now they have lengthened and thickened so well that when I wear mascara, some friends have asked if they are false.

Part of me is disappointed (I hate to give up the prettier lashes and brows...especially wearing little to no makeup during the pandemic), but I do appreciate the honesty of Dr. Dray's videos. I'm glad to know this information before I do further harm. Dr. Dray's videos have helped me very much.

After using eye lash serums for a couple years, I had to stop in the beginning of the year. I had a little bit of the "red eyeliner" look every now and then but I felt like it was worth it for the long lashes. My eyes would also get so irritated, they were completely bloodshot with the red rings around my eyes. It would usually go away the next day and it happened a couple times in the winter time. I was in denial that it was from the serums and blamed it on my allergies, dryness of winter, rubbing my eyes etc.... But then I started to get little white bumps on my lash line. Again, I was in denial, thought that bacteria must have gotten into the serum or makeup. So I gave myself a break for a couple weeks, bought a new tube of serum and got new makeup. When I started using the serum again, the little bumps came back. That's when I finally stopped using eyelash serums I should have stopped using eyelash serums a long time ago!

I can no longer use tint nor grow serum due to extreme sensitivity!

Always had a feeling that by leaving your lashes alone and not over doing it on mascara and “growth” serums would actually be the way to get your thickest lashes that your genetics allow. That and crying a lot, don’t have any research but I think something in tears makes your lashes grow longer, cause they’re there to protect your eyes and if you get something in your eyes your eyes water and so if your lashes grow you won’t get stuff in your eyes.

@numikaae2 жыл бұрын
you have to remember there’s risks that come with everything. Drink too much pure clean water and you can die. The hyperpigmentation is highly reverse-able and not permanent. So if you see a change in your eyes simply just stop using it. As with the redness and irritation i recommend you do a “patch” test sort of like a test run where you only apply a very small amount on a section of your eye for 3-5 days and see how it goes. Then if nothing happens, continue use. Learning how to apply serums safely and correctly is a factor too. I’ve seen many people get the serum directly in their eye - and then they complain about the bad side effects? it’s all about use and precaution. don’t be scared y’all 💕

Hi Sophia, I’m currently using castor oil and don’t have problems with blurry vision. What I’ve found works is to use only one drop to cover all lash and eyebrow hairs, so there won’t be a lot of excess that can seep into your eyes. Rub it gently along your lash line with a finger. Do this right before bed, and wash the eye area with warm water in the morning. I’ve not had blurry vision since I started doing this.

Hi! I have used castor oil before bed time on my brows and lashes (because during the day it would get into my eyes and blur my vision, because when you blink, your lashes can touch the waterline sometimes, depends on your eyes) and after a while I noticed a rash under my eyes, I think it was fungal acne, I have had it before and I think the oil just boosted it to where it popped up again.. The experience with the oil was very pleasant until that happened. So be very careful if you have had experience with (fungal) acne because it might boost something that wasn’t there before or that was almost about to pop up. Now I just use it for the ends of my hair. I would overall not recommend oil on your eyes/lashes.. or just use as little as you can. I have a pretty detailed/planned skin care routine and I think the oil just was kinda gimmicky/a step too far or something. Don’t know if it really helped. Maybe just buy a very small amount/tiny bottle and use it on the ends of your hair if you decide it doesn’t work.

This Spring I took a trusted KZreadr’s recommendation on a prostaglandin type eyelash serum, without doing my research on over the counter products. I used serum for about a month (stopped using it about 3 months ago), I think it has damaged my tear duct on one eye. Oddly I now have random tearing (not cute) but overall my eye feels a bit dry and all these months later the tear duct is still tender. Don’t let this happen to you.

Never used the cosmetic off the shelf serums. I have happily used Latisse off/on for the past 8 years with success and the only side effect of upper lid darkening but to me it's no big deal because I cover it with eyeliner or shadow. Also I benefit from the fact that I don't have blue or green eyes which seem to be the ones most likely to suffer eye discoloration. Overall for ME the Latisse is a worthwhile lash enhancement product. Yes you need a prescription and yes it's not cheap but I get Good RX coupons which bring the drops down to about $65. Also I don't use it all the time. I will use it for a week or two and when I see positive length growth and darkness I drop off for a week or two and then I start again. I also don't use their applicators because they use up too much product that only gets wasted. I use an eyeliner brush and only dispense what I need so a bottle lasts me for a good 4-6 months.

I'm prepared to discontinue use at the drop of a hat if something changes, but everything seems fine so far.

If you want to use a gentler lash serum than Latisse, I recommend Babe Lash. It is dermatologist-tested and safe for contact lens wearers and those with eyelash extensions. Babe Lash uses Methylamido Dihydro Noralfaprostal (MDN), which is a potent yet gentle prostaglandin analogue. Ingredients: Aqua / Water / Eau, Glycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Citrate, Leuconostoc / Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Alanine, Alcohol, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Biotin, Calcium Gluconate, Caprylyl Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citrus Grandis Seed Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Gluconolactone, Glycine, Glyoxal, Hexylene Glycol, Histidine, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isoleucine, Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, PCA, Phenylalanine, Polysorbate 20, Proline, Propylene Glycol, Serine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Threonine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Valine, Yeast Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulfite.

A bit off topic - but I had lash extensions for about 2 years solid - and it's the worst thing I ever did to my lashes. I stopped using them due to increasing irritation to the glue and lashes alike - it didn't seem to matter what type or who did it - I developed blepharitis and peri-orbital edema and redness that just worstened. It took about 8 months for my lashes to appear normal again after discontinuing and to this day, my lash growth cycle seems to be stunted - I lose baby lashes quite often (they fall out before they even mature), and my lashes are nowhere near as dense and long as they once were. Never again! Due to my eye sensitivity, I refuse to put anything else near that lash line except good old face fash and whatever moisturizer makes it's way to my pores.

I have used lash serums for years. Starting out I tried the cheapest ones and moved up through the price tags, looking for better results. The more money I paid, the better my lashes got. Eventually, I had the longest, strongest, thickest lashes I’ve ever had. I was delighted with the results!! I noticed my eyes becoming a bit more bloodshot than normal - but on bad days I just used some eye drops! I saw the skin around my eyes turning pinky/red, but I just covered that with concealer. Nothing was going to stop me from having these lovely lashes!! Over the years this got more & more noticeable. To the point where people would comment about how sore my eyes looked, but I just made excuses and continued. Then, the eye watering started. And it didn’t stop. My eyes were red, watering all day like I was crying, so I went to the chemist and got some treatment. No difference. My eyes were PAINFUL. I could no longer wear any makeup and the constant tearing had put sores round the edges of my eyes. I was thinking up excuses not to go into work... One day, when finally I could take no more of this torture, I took a x20 mag mirror and looked at my eyes. Then i saw them. I had grown like a short, sharp, stubby second row of lashes on the inside of my eyelids that were rubbing on the surface of my eyes, day & night. Scratching & scraping at my eyeballs with every blink. I was HORRIFIED!! I had no option, I tweezed them all out there and then!!! I stopped using my serum. My eyes are no longer bloodshot, watering, sore or red-rimmed. My eyes have recovered with no real lasting damage, thankfully. I knew all along that the serum was the cause of my problem, but I had no idea WHAT the problem was!!!!!! I was addicted I suppose.

Exactly! Only very very lightly dab on bottom of the upper lid lash, and obviously be super careful not to get it into the eye. No need to put on bottom lash. The bottom Lash will get treated from product on the upper li led when you sleep. Also, I’ve found I only need it twice a week but I bet once a week works also. (I’ve used revitalsh. Grandelash and latisse. I prefer Latisse because of the higher quality control and pharmaceutical testing, and it doesn’t have unnecessary ingredients that the knockoffs have, but it’s pricier and you have to get it from a doctor/medical office.

I wish I knew this 2 years ago!!! I tried the Rodan & Fields Lash Boost and it did work, it made me eyelashes grow like crazy. However, now I have dry eye syndrome! It turns out that was a side effect and people are suing. I wish I would have known. Thank you for doing this Dr. Dray! Lash serum isn’t worth it. I want my old eye balls back!
My eyelid margin hates everything, and my opthalmologist encouraged me to leave my eyes alone, so I personally can't imagine using these products.
I have been using eyelash serum for years with no problems, but after watching this video I think I am going to stop now that I am really informed about the side effects. That’s why I watch! Thanks 🙏🏻
As someone who suffers from anxiety which makes me pick at my eyelashes and often rip them out, products like these have quite literally saved my eyes and eyelashes. While the risks mentioned in this video are possible, I have personally never experienced any of them. I have used revitalash for nearly 2 years now and it has strengthened my eyelashes immensely, helped them grow back quicker, and the added length was truly just a bonus. Several of my friends noticed how much it was helping me and have started using other products with great success and no side effects. It’s so important to consult with your doctors first when considering anything that is claiming to alter anything about your body but there are risks associated with everything. If you notice any of these changes or concerns just stop using immediately! Other than that if you’re curious about them I would recommend trying. Loved this video though to help inform people of what to look out for!

I do lash lifts and semi permanent lashes in my job. I love the results of both but I can say that I see the adverse effects of lash lifts. Firstly getting it done once in a while is fine they look great. But when I see frequent lash lift clients come in for semi permanent lashes I use magnifying goggles. I can often see under a magnification that these clients have lots of snapped lashes that stop before the lash naturally tapers. I don’t notice this with the semi permanent but I do hear a lot of people say they feel their lashes have thinned not clients but other colleagues who’ve tried them. I personally haven’t noticed this but my lashes aren’t great naturally anyway. Anyway to summarise I personally don’t mind the odd lash lift but I wouldn’t get it done constantly even when leaving the 8-10 week gap you should leave in between x

However, I went in the last time, my lashes seemed "crispy" and a lot fell out and it was curled differently than the first time, and it looked very unflattering.

@@infairvarona so it can over process either because it’s been processed previously or because it’s on too long/ its too strong for your lashes. Unfortunately one of the reasons I don’t like doing lash lifts as a lash tech is cause one persons lashes can be super tolerant and you barely get a lift and another persons can be weaker and over process. For example I’m ginger and redheads tend to have stronger more coarse hairs so mine don’t overprocess and the solution needs to be on longer to get a decent lift, but someone who’s got fine hair could get over processed much quicker & you can’t always tell what clients lashes will do which. I love the results you can get, and I would get it occasionally. And same with brow lamination I was doing that on myself all the time because I love the results and I was definitely shedding hairs faster from it. X
I've used FEG lash serum (13$ 3ml) had no side effects. Ingridients: Purified water Sodium chloride Benzalkonium chloride Citric acid Disodium phosphate Cellulose gum
I’ve used Latisse for 3 years. It is prescribed by my MD. Admittedly it’s a time & financial commitment to be sure. I had some initial irritation which resolved & as long as I am very careful with application this is no longer an issue. Otherwise I’ve not had any other side effects personally except nice long lashes where I used to have stubs. I acknowledge, watch for and accept the risks.
No problems with Latisse. I have been using it for several years; it provides major lengthening, to the point where I have to trim one lash (in the middle) which gets super long. With Latisse, you only need it once a week to maintain the original eyelash growth.

Maria Alvarez In order to get rid of dark circles you need to figure out what type of dark circles you have so you can treat them properly. You can tell by the colour, for example if you have a purple tint to your dark circles those are caused my vaso-dilation which can be reduced by restricting the blood vessels so using caffeine based eye creams can help (the ordinary caffeine drops are really good). However if your dark circles are brown that’s probably hyper pigmentation and its often permanent. I’d recommend you visit a dermatologist.

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:36 🕶️ Lash serums often contain prostaglandin analogs that stimulate longer and thicker eyelash growth. 02:15 🩺 Lash serums can cause side effects including itchiness, redness, rashes, and irritation around the eyes. 03:24 🌈 Prostaglandin analogs in lash serums can lead to skin discoloration, changes in iris color, and even vision problems. 04:47 💄 Cosmetics with prostaglandin analogs have similar side effects to prescription products, but are not required to disclose these risks. 07:09 💸 A survey shows that many people stop using lash serums due to side effects like irritation, redness, and high cost.

Hi Dr. Dray, I really appreciate you addressing this topic. I started using Babelash serum (nightly) around 4 - 5 months ago and have had great results with no side effects so far. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about trying this type of product. At 62 my lashes had become pretty sparse and now they have lengthened and thickened so well that when I wear mascara, some friends have asked if they are false. Although I'd hate to lose the benefits of this, I will seriously consider your wise council. Thanks so much!

I bought Grande Lash and Grande Brow actually back in July (didn't know about this video at the time). They have made my eyelashes and eyebrows look so much better, but now after watching this video, I am afraid to keep using them.

I'm glad to know this information before I do further harm. Dr. Dray's videos have helped me very much.

Providing ACTUAL STUDIES AND BREAKING IT DOWN FOR US TO UNDERSTAND!!! This is why I’m subscribed to you you are the best!!
After using eye lash serums for a couple years, I had to stop in the beginning of the year. I had a little bit of the "red eyeliner" look every now and then but I felt like it was worth it for the long lashes. My eyes would also get so irritated, they were completely bloodshot with the red rings around my eyes. It would usually go away the next day and it happened a couple times in the winter time. I was in denial that it was from the serums and blamed it on my allergies, dryness of winter, rubbing my eyes etc.... But then I started to get little white bumps on my lash line. Again, I was in denial, thought that bacteria must have gotten into the serum or makeup. So I gave myself a break for a couple weeks, bought a new tube of serum and got new makeup. When I started using the serum again, the little bumps came back. That's when I finally stopped using eyelash serums I should have stopped using eyelash serums a long time ago!

I used to use the original Revitalash. Worked amazing! Long gorgeous lashes, but also darkened eyelids. Once I tinted my lashes and from that moment on, my lids got so sensitive and irritated and could no longer tolerate the lash serum. I waited over 5 years, used Latisse and my eyes blew up! I can no longer use tint nor grow serum due to extreme sensitivity!
Always had a feeling that by leaving your lashes alone and not over doing it on mascara and “growth” serums would actually be the way to get your thickest lashes that your genetics allow. That and crying a lot, don’t have any research but I think something in tears makes your lashes grow longer, cause they’re there to protect your eyes and if you get something in your eyes your eyes water and so if your lashes grow you won’t get stuff in your eyes.

Hello 🤗, Did you buy a lash sérum in the end?
you have to remember there’s risks that come with everything. Drink too much pure clean water and you can die. The hyperpigmentation is highly reverse-able and not permanent. So if you see a change in your eyes simply just stop using it. As with the redness and irritation i recommend you do a “patch” test sort of like a test run where you only apply a very small amount on a section of your eye for 3-5 days and see how it goes. Then if nothing happens, continue use. Learning how to apply serums safely and correctly is a factor too. I’ve seen many people get the serum directly in their eye - and then they complain about the bad side effects? it’s all about use and precaution. don’t be scared y’all 💕

A D I’m telling the truth. My brows, lashes, and hair are growing from using black organic castor oil with carrot oil, vit E, rosemary and coconut oil. I use it sparingly on eyelashes so I don’t get any oil in my eyes. Just rub a little on a finger and swipe along the lid. No matter what, it’s working for 73 year old me.
Been using Revitalash for about a year. First time I’ve ever had long, thick lashes. I’m 71. I use it a couple of times a week now. Not going to stop now. No side effects.
I used to have lash dermatitis as a child, which did absolutely what Dr. Dray said: cascading problems. Less lashes, then irritated, thicker lids, and at age 32 (now) dry eye is something that affects me daily. Marvel in the beauty of the function of the eye.

Hi Sophia, I’m currently using castor oil and don’t have problems with blurry vision. What I’ve found works is to use only one drop to cover all lash and eyebrow hairs, so there won’t be a lot of excess that can seep into your eyes. Rub it gently along your lash line with a finger. Do this right before bed, and wash the eye area with warm water in the morning. I’ve not had blurry vision since I started doing this.

Hi! I have used castor oil before bed time on my brows and lashes (because during the day it would get into my eyes and blur my vision, because when you blink, your lashes can touch the waterline sometimes, depends on your eyes) and after a while I noticed a rash under my eyes, I think it was fungal acne, I have had it before and I think the oil just boosted it to where it popped up again.. The experience with the oil was very pleasant until that happened. So be very careful if you have had experience with (fungal) acne because it might boost something that wasn’t there before or that was almost about to pop up. Now I just use it for the ends of my hair. I would overall not recommend oil on your eyes/lashes.. or just use as little as you can. I have a pretty detailed/planned skin care routine and I think the oil just was kinda gimmicky/a step too far or something. Don’t know if it really helped. Maybe just buy a very small amount/tiny bottle and use it on the ends of your hair if you decide it doesn’t work.

So curious if, how, why it would work to increase lash length/thickness.
I used the Grande Lash Serum for a long time but had to stop!. My eyelids became very red and sore with little rosacea bumps along my lash line that were very sore. As soon as I stop using it, it went away right away. It worked at first but slowly over time it starts to irritate your eyes more and then it makes your lashes grow very uneven. I will not try again.

Never used the cosmetic off the shelf serums. I have happily used Latisse off/on for the past 8 years with success and the only side effect of upper lid darkening but to me it's no big deal because I cover it with eyeliner or shadow. Also I benefit from the fact that I don't have blue or green eyes which seem to be the ones most likely to suffer eye discoloration. Overall for ME the Latisse is a worthwhile lash enhancement product. Yes you need a prescription and yes it's not cheap but I get Good RX coupons which bring the drops down to about $65. Also I don't use it all the time. I will use it for a week or two and when I see positive length growth and darkness I drop off for a week or two and then I start again. I also don't use their applicators because they use up too much product that only gets wasted. I use an eyeliner brush and only dispense what I need so a bottle lasts me for a good 4-6 months.

I spent ALOT of money on that stuff too 😩 I wanted it to work so bad but definitely not worth the side effects from it and I could only imagine what would’ve happened if I continued use! Thanks for another informative video!! 😄
So family member used it and developed all side effects. But, two years after stopping still: sunken eyes, hyperpigmentation, eye discoloration. So, unless it is medically critical, think very very carefully!!

I’m also experiencing floaters. Floaters is why I began to investigate Latisse further. No one has reported online however, I’ve seen the relation between the hyperpigmentation and the styes with Latisse.
A couple of years ago, my dermatologist recommended Latisse for not only thicker eyelashes (and eyebrows) but for upper eyelid tightening. He of course warned me about the dangers of getting the serum IN my eyes. I’ve applied it carefully and sparingly twice a week over the last couple of years. It’s worked for me in all 3 areas without side effects.

I think that might be part of the problem as well. Some people feel the need to soak their eyelashes with these serums rather than using the smallest amount to receive results.
Revitalash has made my eyelashes so thick and long and so far no side effects for 3 months now🤞🏼 I also have tried grande lash and it didn’t work. Latisse really irritated my eyes. But everyone is different 🤷🏻♀️

I've been using revitalash 6 years, have blue eyes, aside from very slight redness occasionally I've had no side effects - but I do take care to make sure it never gets in my eye (only on the skin). I'm prepared to discontinue use at the drop of a hat if something changes, but everything seems fine so far.
If you want to use a gentler lash serum than Latisse, I recommend Babe Lash. It is dermatologist-tested and safe for contact lens wearers and those with eyelash extensions. Babe Lash uses Methylamido Dihydro Noralfaprostal (MDN), which is a potent yet gentle prostaglandin analogue. Ingredients: Aqua / Water / Eau, Glycerin, Panthenol, Sodium Citrate, Leuconostoc / Radish Root Ferment Filtrate, Alanine, Alcohol, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Biotin, Calcium Gluconate, Caprylyl Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, Citrus Grandis Seed Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Gluconolactone, Glycine, Glyoxal, Hexylene Glycol, Histidine, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Isoleucine, Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, PCA, Phenylalanine, Polysorbate 20, Proline, Propylene Glycol, Serine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Lactate, Sodium PCA, Threonine, Tocopheryl Acetate, Triethanolamine, Valine, Yeast Extract, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Benzoate, Sodium Metabisulfite.

thanks
Omg! Thank you!! I had started using a lash serum and have noticed a darkness under my eyes and couldn’t figure out why as I get the same amount of sleep as before.
Day 4 of using the Grande Lash Serum and I can tell that it had darker my eyes drastically. I’m returning it tmw!
I'm so glad I'm so lazy to have not used my lash serums lol now they're gonna get trashed.
Ive been using Eyenvy for about 4 months, which does not contain prostaglandin. I've been very happy with my results. This may be a safe alternative for folks, however I will use with caution and will closely monitor any side effects. Thanks so much For Dray!

Sadly, EyEnvy was found to be "mislabeled" and a recall of the product ordered by Health Canada for a synthetic prostaglandin not being included in the ingredient list. 😏🙄😡
I stopped wearing mascara during these times and all my lashes grew back. Lol.

Mascara especially the waterproof ones can ruin your lashes lol
I've always wondered about the long term side effects of these lash serums and have never trusted the claims. I always see beauty and fashion bloggers saying they use these things on their lashes. I definitely won't be using them. Thank you for sharing this!
I’ve used a lash serum once and it somehow gave me 3 painful eye cysts...never again!
Thank you Dr.Dray for this video! I’ve been using lash serum for the last 2 years and had beautiful lashes but didnt know or remember ALL the side effects. No more for me!
Always on top of her game :) Thank you, Dr. Dray :)
I've used lash serums off and on for 10 years. No issues whatsoever.

@@Ohkeh640 I've used both LiLash and Revitalash. I love them both and saw great results. I am currently using Revitalash.
A bit off topic - but I had lash extensions for about 2 years solid - and it's the worst thing I ever did to my lashes. I stopped using them due to increasing irritation to the glue and lashes alike - it didn't seem to matter what type or who did it - I developed blepharitis and peri-orbital edema and redness that just worstened. It took about 8 months for my lashes to appear normal again after discontinuing and to this day, my lash growth cycle seems to be stunted - I lose baby lashes quite often (they fall out before they even mature), and my lashes are nowhere near as dense and long as they once were. Never again! Due to my eye sensitivity, I refuse to put anything else near that lash line except good old face fash and whatever moisturizer makes it's way to my pores.
Hey Dr. Dray!! I just want to take the time and tell you I am SO grateful for you. I have learned so much helpful things that have really changed my life! Your hard work and dedication to KZread is greatly appreciated ☺️💕
