Castor Oil Totally grew my eyelashes after my lashes fell out after I stopped using the expensive eyelash growing serums! I did not know once you start using the eyelash serums you have to keep using them forever otherwise your lashes will fall out! I know this first hand unfortunately!

[@CompostWatcher]

@@fannyasilberman7373 I can only say that castor oil is thick & sticky, so it will will stay on the hairs long enough to hydrate them. Please listen to several videos. Especially this one. And you may listen several times.

[@TwinMillMC]

The before & after pictures of people on Amazon and KZbin tell a completely different story about how caster oil grows eyelashes. It does indeed grow your eyelashes, it does not just make them "appear" to be healthier. On the other hand, Latisse can cause darkening of the eyelid skin which may be permanent, change the iris pigmentation of the colored part of the eye which is likely to be permanent, cause eye redness or discomfort, eye itching, dry eyes, watery eyes, and/or eyelid redness and puffy eyelids. Conclusion; Caster Oil causes eyelashes to grow with no side affects. And Latisse can cause permanent damage.

Personnally, I used castor oil for a month on my eyelashes and I find it irritative. I stop using it after a month because, there was no improvement at all with my eyelashes. Maybe it need much more time to grow, but, considering the irritation, I decide it was not worthing it.

[@Casper-jx1zd]

I have been using castor oil religiously since August 2020. I had watched several KZbin videos claiming I would have earth shattering results in 30 days. I did not see much of anything but kept on with my nightly castor oil routine because it was relaxing and the skin around my eyes was looking radiant. Now, after 2 1/2 years I am utterly thrilled with the results. It takes a lot of time and consistency to achieve longer thicker lashes. I’m so happy I didn’t just give up. I had watched a video by Jennifer Myers and she had mentioned that her long lashes were achieved over 7 1/2 years. Her video was the catalyst for me to keep on keeping on. The video also showed how she applied the castor oil. Blessings to everyone and sorry for rambling on……🙏

[@DrRupaWong]

Great job being consistent! That can be hard to do. Thank you for sharing with us :-)

[@Casper-jx1zd]

Your video was excellent by the way. I don’t know whether it was the castor oil or the circulation going to the eyelash follicles every evening that caused my awesome results. Maybe the combination of massage and the castor oil did it. Thanks for responding to my comment ♥️

[@darklyngstudios]

It works wonders for my eyelashes and eyebrows. I highly recommend purchasing empty mascara tubes from a beauty supply shop. That way you have a easy and convenient application with the brush so that there isn’t too much of the oil going on to the lash. What I do is after I cleanse, pull out the wand, run through one brow and then upper lash then lower lash. Then go on to the next eye. This way the eyebrow will remove a bit more of the oil from the brush before it goes onto the lash so that you apply just enough and is less likely to get into the eye

[@rajulshah1]

Did it for the first time today and got far too much pil in my eyes!!

Nice! You should try curling, then brush a piece of fresh cut aloe against your lashes. It holds your lashes in place and also grows them. It’s like a clear mascara! I learned this by chance bc I use fresh aloe as a toner in my daily skincare and I got some on my lashes, haha. You can follow up with castor oil if you’d like, but I only do that at night bc I don’t like the oily look.

@@Rachelx0 CLEVLAND CLINIC What causes déjà vu to happen? You may not be a magician, but when you experience déjà vu, your brain is creating an illusion. This is thought to happen when there’s a bit of a miscommunication between two parts of your brain. “Déjà vu is caused by dysfunctional connections between the parts of your brain that play a role in memory recollection and familiarity,” Science is the best source we have for knowledge for a reason. Personal testimony is unreliable because the brain is untrustworthy.... Maybe the castor oil is creating an illusion of what looks like hair growth but isnt.

Dr. Berg explains this that the reason for the majority of those losing hair and eyelashes are due to not getting enough trace minerals. Our foods are lacking. He also mentions that there is a lack of zinc in ones diet. I encourage those who are interested to look him up. It will make sense with the way he explains it. Replacement of those lost trace minerals can even reverse those struggling with hair loss.

[@iowagreen8932]

I really appreciate your systematic and scientific approach to beauty products. Thank you! I do have a question though: when you say a product hasn't been proven through scientific studies, are you saying there have been studies that affirmatively showed the product was not effective, or rather that no studies at all have yet been done? Where studies might not have been done on castor oil, for example, we do have the centuries of traditional usage that might indicate it works to some extent.

[@WinningFace]

That is an interesting question.. honestly I think it might work. I will try it to find out.

[@MeadowLovinElf]

From my recollection the studies surrounding oils for eyelash health don't prove they're effective, but there's anecdotal evidence. I've had good experiences with castor oil on my eyelashes, but, again, because it's anecdotal, it's individually based. Everyone reacts differently to different things.

[@Lilliancooks]

I love almond oil for my eyes and lashes...I use it everyday to remove mascara and eye shadow. I just rub the almond oil onto my lashes and lids...then wait about 30 seconds and wipe off. It melts away mascara and other eye makeup while conditioning the lashes and skin around my eyes. I have been doing this for about 10 years and have no problems with it. I think it even helps keep my lashes healthy. I am 61 years old and still have good lashes.

[@riash7346]

I agree. I use castor oil for years! I feel like it keep the lashes healthier rather than making them longer. I use lot of mascara on daily basis. So when I remove it I apply castor oil, it prevents the breakage. That’s why it seems longer even doh it isn’t making them longer. I do see the difference when I don’t use it doh They feel brittle.

I think it's important to point out that there is (or may be) a vast difference between "there are no studies showing efficacy" and "there have been no studies looking at the efficacy of____". Just because *no* studies have been done doesn't necessarily mean something doesn't work. And who is going to pay for studies (which can be super pricey) if there is no money to be made off a product? No one.

I'd lost almost all of my lashes after using lash extensions. Now they're back, longer and fuller than before. I also noticed that it helps me with dry eye condition which most people complain as I live in a dry climate. I guess instead of worrying about lack of research in this matter, I will stick with millions of people that swear by it!

I have dry eyes and this helped me too. I’ve actually seen a treatment where they make these little dams out of clay around your eyes and then fill it with warm castor oil and have you open and blink several times and it’s supposed to help dry eye a lot.

It absolutely works. Before I started using it, I had noticed my lashes falling out when I washed my face in the shower (about 2-5 a day for several days in a row). My lashes stopped falling out after I started using the oil. It’s only been about a week. The tiny bald spot on my lower lash line has already filled in, and I just had to pluck a new, weird little eyelash that was growing above my upper lashes on my eyelid! I did get a small stye (that went away within a day using a warm compress) because I wasn’t careful about washing my lashes after using the oil. I apply a very small amount of oil with a Qtip dabbed into my lash line.

It definitely grew my hair. I chopped my hair 4 times in 3 years. Last year, I started consistently using, organic Jamaican black castor oil. My hair went from very short, tapered, to shoulder length. It works to grow hair. Coconut oil dries the hair out, well mine anyway.

The Jamaican black Castor oil is the best. I am using it on my lashes and brows and I am seeing results.

[@EarthlyKisses]

Coconut oil is a humectant. So if you live in a dry area or using it at a dry time of year in your area then the moisture will be pulled out of your hair. It works both ways but goes the opposite of where the moisture is. So if the moisture is in the air, it will into the hair, if it's not, it will pull out.

Vaseline isn’t a moisturiser, it’s a barrier cream that stops moisture getting in it coming out. It’s a refined waste product from oil and it’s not great for the environment, either. It just leaves a greasy residue on things and people think that it’s moisturising them, when all it’s doing is just sitting on top of your hair/skin and not being absorbed at all, like it would if it were a moisturiser.

I have tried castor oil on my lashes and it caused a sort of stinging sensation. I’m guessing the oil got into my eye. I don’t have castor oil allergies. Don’t get a reaction on the skin. Just when I put it near my eyes it makes it water. I find it odd sense I have no problem with mascara. I’m guessing it’s because it’s viscous like you mentioned so higher chance of transferring onto eyes. Edit: I was just told I got a chalazion or internal sty from the castor oil. Don’t know if this common but now I know I should be careful.

[@DrRupaWong]

Yes absolutely. Castor oil is pretty thick and viscous. I mentioned about blepharitis and styes in my coconut oil video and that's why it's so important to really clean your lashes well if you choose to use an oil. Hope it got better!

[@Ladeliciadelinda]

Dr. Rupa Wong oh yeah with warm compress it’s getting better. But I learned my lesson now about putting thick oils near my eye. Thank you for always replying to every one of my comments. Your awesome ❤️

[@raqueldelclos]

Something similar happened to me. The castor oil sort of dried a part of my eye out/ “burnt” a part of my eye, but thankfully it healed up.

[@evangelinabvaldez9563]

Omg wow this is very interesting I had never ever had a stye. However, I started using a castor oil I bought through Etsy that’s for lash growth and a week later I got a stye. Good to know this happens. Kinda discouraged to now use it

I’ve used black castor oil with lavender essential oils for about 3 years now and can honestly say it’s taken my lashes from being short ,stubby, and patchy to them reaching my eyebrows when I wear mascara I notice a difference every couple days the more oil I put on my eyes and the oil use to irritate my eyes when itd get on my eyeball but after a year it doesn’t hurt AT ALL and it like brings the debris and allergens in my eye to the surface ,and like cleans my eyes ,castor oil is a steady part of my routine and I recommend it to anyone , given their not allergic

It kinda worked for me. I applied it for at least a month. It made the very ends of my lashes no longer thin and brittle (I don’t wear mascara, so Idk why they were brittle in the first place.) It worked, but it had a very minimal effect on me. You could barely see it, but it did make my lashes healthier. Btw, I have exorbitantly sensitive skin and all, but never got a reaction. Okay, I take it back! I stoped putting it on for like a month and a bit, and they grew SOO much!! Now I continue to apply it to my long healthy, dark, thick lashes! 😁

I’ve been using cold pressed certified organic Castor Oil for close to a year. I noticed a difference in the fullness of my brows and the length and fullness of my lashes after my daughter noticed the difference several months ago. The strange thing is I noticed a hair or two growing outside my normal lash line. My lashes didn’t grow as fast or long as when I used RevitaLash but for the price this method can’t be beat for now.

I have always wondered whether it would be better to use it in the morning or overnights because I’ve wondered about oil being on your eyes and you’re helping on the pillow where they might be dust mites? Also I was wondering would there be any issues with mixing castor oil with coconut oil?

[@aprilhisey2244]

I’d aim for mornings. Even though overnight will give you a longer time for the oil to sit on lashes/brows, castor oil is very thick and will likely rub off onto pillowcases, sheets or eyelids(could clog sensitive pores). Idk if it attracts mites though.

Hello, I bought a Castor oil to apply on my eyelashes but I was a little worried because on the back of the bottle it was written "Caution: Avoid contact with eyes". So I wanted to ask you if it is safe or not to use this product and what consequences can it have for our eyes? Thanks

[@santanacaipirinha9536]

It can actually cause necrosis: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17962450/ The risk may be minimal, I'm not sure. It's hard to find out more and with so many people using it on or near their eyes you'd think there would be more reported cases. But it's still a worrisome study.

[@bassetto1603]

just make sure it's organic, cold pressed and hexane free! I have sensitive eyes and never had any issues for years!.May be a good idea to do a skin test like dr. did and just so you know, most lipsticks or lip balms, lip shines have castor oi in their ingredients and we get it in our mouths but also most dry eye drops have castor oil in them as a carrier. So like I said do your test and make sure it's organic.

[@Bellinissima]

I'm still unsure if I should try, but I tend to be afraid of anything near my eyes because I have glaucoma and dry eyes. I use Latanoprost and used to use Xalatan and I think (seemingly because everyone commented on them) longer lashes were a happy side effect. I used to use falsies, curl my lashes regularly (non chemically), and wear mascara, but don't wear much makeup anymore and have been interested in possibly using oils as a periodic treatment.

Castor oil is great for your eyes. Organic, hexane free, cold pressed, in amber glass bottle. I put one drop in each eye at night, improved my vision
