The TRUTH about LASH SERUMS (GrandeLASH, RevitaLASH, Lash Boost)| Dr Dray

[@pinkpeony5302]

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.

I’ve considered a lash serum, but when I did my research and read about the side effects, I decided my lashes were ok as is.

[@IntoBlackHouse]

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 KZbin 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.

[@АнаБуљешевић]

I am scared of a false silk lashes...i was thinking of that, but then I decide to buy nice mascara and not to risk

[@IntoBlackHouse]

Ана Буљешевић wearing false eyelashes isn’t bad for your lashes unless you wear them every single day and don’t remove them gently.

[@amycortez3289]

I’ve never clicked a notification so quickly, nor been so heartbroken. 😭 GrandeLash has given me the lashes of my dreams. 💯 %. But I have been wondering why my eyelids and entire eye area has been so dark. I already have dark circles underneath, I don’t need the entire socket going dark. Thanks for doing what you do! Even when you’re crushing our dreams and breaking our hearts. 💔😭

[@adminuser7221]

How are you using it, AM or Pm? And were you using it on your lower lashes too?

[@amycortez3289]

Admin User I was using it PM, upper lids only. 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?😂😭😂😭

[@vanessamichelle268]

I’ve used it too and noticed darkening around my lash line that almost looked bruised when I only used it about 2 months. I used it AM/PM everyday. I agree it works well but definitely not necessary considering the risk.

[@rawveganmangolover]

I started worrying about using lash serum too. I switched to popping on 2-3 individual little lash fans. It’s really pretty, gives that effect, and I feel safer. Maybe a new dream?😊

[@shannens5372]

Amy Cortez I tried grande lash for a few days and after the third day my eyelids got so dark!!! I was like wth! I realized it must be from the serum and sure enough! Once I stopped using it my eyes went back to normal in a few days. I know if you use too much it can cause the darkness....so maybe try every other night and just a little bit to avoid the darkness. I just stopped using it and started using false lashes lol

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.

[@cindylyssikatos3182]

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.

[@truth-alwayswins]

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.

[@caseythomas5447]

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!

Dr Dray has covered lash extensions and lash serums, I hope to see a video on lash lifts/tints someday too! I can’t seem to find any real downsides to them but it’s literally a perm right next to your eyeball.. sus!! But at the same time the results look so nice and I’m so tempted to try it! Please give us the tea Dr Dray! 💕

[@infairvarona]

Yes! I hope she does one on lash lifts since I've been having mine done with "keratin" on them but I dont really see a change when the perm is gone and my lashes actually seem weaker so I stopped. 😔

[@rynsoo4310]

I got them once. It did look really good while also feeling so natural. However, it is very expensive for the length of time the effect lasts

[@beautybrief114]

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

[@infairvarona]

@@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.

[@beautybrief114]

@@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

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!

[@numikaae]

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 💕

[@tassinmonkeys]

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!

[@Ghost_0418]

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.

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.

I didn't do any research so I didn't know that it was going to cause any side effects and now I have ugly dark circles under my eyes so now I'm using creams to take away dark circles but nothing is working do you know of anything that will help to take away the dark circles

[@ughok8757]

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.

[@babyxkiwi]

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!

[@carolinabarcelos6639]

as long as you only apply it to your lid, you should be fine. it causes dark pigmentation to the skin when you apply under your eye and not where your lashes are. and it may change eye color if you are getting it in your eye. most of the time, they are safe as long as you are using them safely.

[@sassytaphy3117]

I apply to my top lid only, never the lower. I now have darkness above and below my eyes, and considering stopping Latisse.

It also caused me to have styes back to back, when I wash my face and eyes at least twice a day, everyday.

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.

I fancy myself a savvy consumer, years ago I did my research on prescription lash serum’s, I decided to pass on the Rx because of potential side effects. This Spring I took a trusted KZbinr’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.
