There you have it: eyelash serums aren’t always made to make your eyelashes grow faster but instead nourish the eyelashes you already have. While some people may experience growth when using nutritious products, there isn’t a lot of clinical evidence to support these claims.
This does not mean that OTC eyelash serum is useless. “I think the emollient properties of these oils may be beneficial if the eyelashes are or eyebrows They became brittle and broken due to the use of mascara, adhesives, false eyelashes, and curling devices”, board-certified dermatologist Hadley King, MDmbg says.
Some of the more popular ingredients, such as PeptidesIt has been researched in recent years and offers promising results for eyelash health. in this studyResearchers found that certain peptides (myristoyl pentapeptide-17 and myristoyl hexapeptide-16) stimulate the production of keratin, a key factor in hair growth. The results of their study included an increase curling eyelashesThe length, size and thickness. The incremental growth itself, however, has not been documented.
To sum it up: An over-the-counter eyelash serum can certainly encourage healthier eyelashes (read: longer, stronger, thicker, etc.) but it probably won’t encourage greater growth per se. When your eyelashes are healthier, shedding and splitting are more likely to decrease, which means you’ll hold on to your eyelashes for longer. And strong, luscious lashes are sure to look longer, too.
