Very informative, can you tell us which ones are the safest to use? Thanks a lot

[@Justiceee1]

Hello Dr., Thank you for such informative video. I was wondering what is the safest eye lash serum, how it should be applied properly? I suffer from eye puffiness and I have been using uriage eye serum, but nth is changing and I dont use any lash serums. Thanks 🌻

[@Alaakh199]

I was using a serum with isopropyl cloprostenate and it caused periorbital fat atrophy. Luckily as soon as I realized it I stopped using the serum (I had been using it for 1 year and a half and until the last 3 months of use I did not notice that this was happening to me). Now it has been 6 months since I stopped using the serum and my eyes look like before, so for me luckily it was reversible.

[@benjibud3895]

Thank you for this information, because I was definitely getting ready to buy TWO lash serums today (Lilash & Babe lash).

[@deborahparker7227]

This is the most educational video I have come across explaining the side effects of lash serums. That is why I don't use them. I'm wondering how these cosmetic companies are able to sell them though if they have this ingredient in them? Do you think they will be taken off the market?

[@DrRupaWong]

Yeah I wonder once more and more people start getting fat atrophy if they will remove them from the market? I loved the way my lashes looked, but I don't need more problems under my eyes!

[@chersilveira8944]

I am SO glad I found your video!! I JUST started using the Grande lash about a week and a half ago. I was already noticing great changes in my previously nonexistent lashes but I was just putting on my some moisturizer and sunscreen and saw my undereyes suddenly looked almost a violet black!! I have an issue with dark circles anyway and I already have the deep tear troughs. I just noticed those a couple years ago after I turned 65. I was just devastated with the deep rings and have been trying concealers, creams, retinol and have just learned to get good at covering it,. BUT now with the darkening of the skin all around my eye I was freaking out!! I stopped immediately! Hopefully the darkness will go away soon and SADLY I will not be using the lash serum anymore. I am really sad because it was WORKING and I already had growth and thickening of my lashes. I guess I will go back to false lashes. I hate them but at least they wont make me look like I have 2 black eyes or get even more sunken looking.

[@morningmayan]

Darn I loved my Grande Lash but I never knew about the side effects so I didn't put it togther - the hollowing of the eyes is maybe the worst thing you could do to yourself glad I know!

[@DrRupaWong]

That's exactly what happened with me with LashBoost (mine was reversible, so I hope yours is too!). I know, I loved the results I was getting from my serum, but just not worth it.

What about rapid lashes please Dr? Could you give us some information about the side effects please ?

[@fynejules]

I used GrandeLash 5 years ago and it seemed to be effective but one thing I noticed after a couple months that around 15 minutes after application my eyes started to have mild burning sensation that would trigger tears. I would have to wipe my tears with tissue. It was reoccurring so I just stopped using it. I don't know why that started happening because I was fine for the first couple of months. I did not have an allergic reaction with eye swelling, redness or itching. This video was helpful information.

I used Latisse years ago and I don’t remember the results. But my lashes are definitely not thick and long. My optometrist wanted to test me for abnormal intraocular pressure of my eyes. I do have permanent muddy sclera of my iris. I wear false lashes to enhance my eyes now.

[@High_Priestess1111]

I miss Honolulu, lived there for a year! 🌈🌺🌴 Have been using Grande Lash for a few years now and noticed about a year or so ago that I’ve been having flashes of light in my upper eye region(s). Saw my Opthamologist and was refered to a retinal specialist who told me that it was due to retinal separation which could eventually become detachment which is rather upsetting and disconcerting news. I inquired about the Grande Lash serum as a contributing factor and it was dismissed as harmless and not likely to be correlated in any way to this condition which i’m told is considered “normal” for age 48. Do you agree with this opinion and what are your thoughts regarding Lash MDs serum as a possible cause of this issue? Also lately I am noticing a strange flickering effect in one of my eyes. I sometimes use the grande brow as a lash serum as well because I ran out and believe the formulas are the same or similar but the brush applicator is slightly different but probably should call the company to confirm that this is ok. I greatly appreciate your video and channel and am glad to have found you and subscribed! ♥️

[@longmelinda]

I, a person who had detached retina surgery and that eye now sees well, believe your retina problem is not related to using eye serums. However, knowing your eyes are incurring retina issues, (flashes of light & floaters) I'd stay clear of eye serums and use mascara sparingly. There are eye vitamins that help. I take the generic Walgreens eye vitamin brand b4 bed. When you wake&blink, you can see the improvements, but just like any vitamin, you must continue the regiment. Plz stay clear of lifting heavy objects? Any excessive/continious physical stress on ur body like lifting, pulling or carrying heavy items puts pressure on those viens within the eyes. If you have to lift, tightly close that eye? Finally, if you' must have eye surgery, don't fear? We're blessed to live in this age of advance medicine. Ur eye can be repaired. ✌️

[@isagomezrodriguez9403]

Thanks a lot for all the information. I'm just doing a little research before deciding on buying a lash serum. What about prostaglandin free serums? I've found some such as UkLash or NYK1 that don't contain any prostaglandin derivates (just vitamins and/or peptides) and apparently have nice results. I guess those would be a good altervative to avoid long term risks, wouldn't they?

[@JB-vb6ln]

They may condition the lashes to keep them healthy and maybe stronger but they will not promote longer or thicker lashes

Yes, but you have to have a diagnosis of Gluacoma. It wasn’t used for that, it was for intraocular pressure issues. If you don’t have that your MD is not going to lie on a script. Latisse is generic now and you can use GoodRX to get it as cheap as 28-30$.

What do you do once you accidentally put serum on your eyeball. I just wanna know THAT part because my eye is Red AF! Sorry for my French but I'm panicking right now. I dont care about the effects I care about what to do when the effect is happening.

I used the Vegamour lash growth serum and have had blepharitis/mgd issues for 6 months. Been in and out of doctors offices and spent a ton of money on OTC products, supplements (fish oil + hyaluronic acid), prescription drops and also threw all the eye makeup that touched my eyes in that time out. I don't know what to do anymore but it's really upsetting that it's all from this one product mishap. I never had issues with my eyes feeling very dry till now. Do you have any insight? I feel like I need my glands squeezed, or something, but the last ophthalmologist I saw said it's not a long term solution and I'm doing the warm compresses 2x per day.

Hi, i have used it about 6 years. And now i have realized that this caused my undereyes. I have now deep undereyes. Will it go away after stop using it?

I used mine for 3 weeks and after the second week it started to burn/itch and I definitely noticed a black stripe/ bump on my eyelid I stopped completely using it for 3 days and it almost completely fade away. I threw that shit out because all of these side effects especially with the issue of your eye color getting darker ( I already have dark brown eyes so I don’t need black eyes) and the eyelid turning dark around the eye. Ladies be careful maybe not everyone will experience the same things but I stopped after 3 weeks even though I should’ve stopped sooner.
