Why I Don't Use Lash Growth Serums as a Dermatologist

I don't use lash growth serums. That's because many of them contain a specific ingredient that can have undesirable side effects such as eye dropping, darkening of the eyelid area (dark circles), and more. Watch this video to find out why I don't use lash growth serums anymore.

Mine personal hair growth journey of success, I myself followed this routine: Take early morning sunshine every day for vitamin D. Eat veggies of all colours. Using paraben-free and fragrance free shampoo and gently massaging two times per week with hair oil by litttleextra cocooonion oil. Imp. to remember that hair growth is affected by overall health as well as circulation and diet.

I am so thankful that I stumbled onto this video. You would be saving a lot of people if you would re-post some version of this regularly and maybe talk to colleagues about spreading the word in fair clear discussions. I think a lot about daughters, little sisters, etc. who might use them thinking they are benign/safe.

Thank you SO much, you got a new subscriber! Especially those other names to look out for is very useful. As my knowledge grow about how “cruelty free” and “parabene free” products can have real harmful ingredients, I for sure wish we had stronger laws about mandatory listing of ingredients, and prohibition of harmful ingredients. It shouldn’t be this hard to keep your skin and your baby’s skin poison free.

Thank you Dr. Sam. July 1 of this year I bought three packages of a lash growth serum by Lilly Lash. Been using them daily as directed. Out in the trash they go. I’m a senior citizen, I don’t need anymore health related problems with my eyes! So glad I found your channel. New subscriber here!🙏🏻🌹

[@PanDeSal.28]

Thanks for sharing this, it's really informative. i'm a lash tech and usually i get clients who come to me with damaged natural lashes from other salon's lash extensions service. Most of the time i recommend them to use these serums that you listed as their "resting time" treatment and a lot of times they tell me that they either notice their eyelids and lower lash skin darkens. Though it was subtle at first but on the long run they notice the difference in their eyes including a little bit of redness to it. It was a side effect that I don't want my clients to have. Thank you for listing the prostaglandin analogues ingredients names, now I could at least check the ingredients list on the lash serums I can recommend to them. Love lots and stay safe 💜💜💜💜💜

[@isie.]

Thank you! I always liked my lashes but now I feel really insecure about them because of social media and it‘s so sad! I am so glad I didn‘t buy any lash serum and I will not sacrifice my eyes for longer eye lashes. I have light blue eyes and I‘m scared to ruin my eye color just for longer lashes. Be proud of your lashes people! Wie don‘t have to be perfect. ❤

I'm loving the format. Personable, but still to the point. Informative, but not excessively long. Please keep making videos! Ps. I'm so curious to see how you layer your sunscreen & makeup. I was a religious sunscreen user, and have sadly been slacking lately just bc I sometimes want to wear eyeshadow or other makeup but am scared I'll disturb the sunscreen film. Gotta get back in it though!

I have never used lash serums but such an informative video. Wow, those pictures made your point very clear!

[@DrSamEllis]

A visual can definitely help emphasize a point!

[@twilde3754]

Thank you. I was using one of these serums on my eyebrows since they are so thin. Don't know if the serum helped or the fact that I quit plucking for several weeks to see what would actually grow was the answer, but I did get more growth of eyebrow hairs. I ran out of the stuff several weeks ago and never reordered, I won't reorder now after hearing your video. Thanks so much for this informative PSA of sorts.

[@wanderlustmmm6404]

Glad i saw this video. Though i have used eyenvy for maybe 4-5 months now and it does not seem to contain the ingredients listed or mentioned, i had noticed a slight reddening/ pigmentation on my upper lash line only. I have always had dark circles since early to mid 20s no matter how much sleep i have or dont have, drink at least 2-3 L water a day minimum and it remains an issue. Might be due to my chronic sinusitis/ nasal polyps so i will also discontinue use of the serum as i dont need to make my eyes look worse than they are. A video on dark circles and cause/ treatment (that actually works) would be awesome. Also treatment of sun spots/ age spots ( i am nearly 40 and always wear sunscreen under makeup now) but the damage was done in my younger years as i love the beach. Would appreciate a video on this treatment as well as i have had 2 or 3 laser sessions to remove them but all that did was breakdown and dissolve a few freckles, not the dark spots on my face that i hate so much. Thanks for considering my video ideas 😊

[@MissBeeeBeee]

This is an excellent video, thank you!! I also think about the psychological aspect of this enterprise. The beauty industry is very adept at talking people into manipulating every single millimeter on their face. (I am still waiting for a nostril-enhancing serum.) People buy things for hundreds of dollars without questioning a single aspect and so the multi-billions continue to roll in. There seems to be a “if it’s on the market, I need it” mentality. I am getting a little tired of seeing people literally ruin their looks in an attempt to be “more beautiful.”

[@sparklebullet3369]

is it true that if you stop using the lashes serum your eyelashes will go back to how it looked before using the serum?? i heard the results aren't permanent i really need to know 🥹

[@ML-sw4ff]

Yes. If you stop using it, your eyelashes will go back to how they were before. Eyelashes fall out everyday, so after a few days, your lashes will revert back if you stop using the serum. The serum is what is making your eyelashes longer. Once you stop using it, the old eyelashes will fall out, and your eyelashes will go back to the previous length or sometimes slightly shorter/longer.

[@ML-sw4ff]

Results are permanent if you continue wearing it everyday, but for the most part, it's temporary once you stop.

Castor oil definitely helped my eye lashes to grow. I notice it after a week and especially after two weeks. They don’t make them thicker though, just longer. It’s an old tradition.

At first I used black jamaican castor oil when I was in High School and then tried the regular cold pressed castor oil from Walmart and saw it works just as fine.

I've been using RapidLash and RapidBrow for about 5 years, with a few minor breaks here and there. Recently, I noted they're not working at all in terms of growth, and my eyebrow area is stained a darker shade than my natural coloring (fair). I looked at your list of prostaglandin analogs, and lo and behold, RapidLash and RapidBrow contain "isopropyl cloprostenate"! The products are touted as a safer alternative to Latisse, full of amino acids and peptides (which is true), but buried way down in the ingredients list is that isopropyl cloprostenate. Time to pull back/out on this stuff. I'd check the list of ingredients in whatever growth serum any of you might be using against that list. Thanks for a very informative video, doctor!

I had upper and lower bleph years ago so no fat to shrink. I developed ptosis in one eye and stopped using Careprost on that eye, hoping it would reverse so I don't need surgery. It's been five months and no change, so perhaps it is unrelated. I had ptosis surgery on both eyes twenty years ago. The redness and brown staining have slightly improved. Meanwhile it's interesting to see the comparison in lash growth on the other eye with Careprost. Definitely thicker and longer curled lashes. But I don't like the redness and staining on the lid which requires a green color corrector and concealer. My natural lashes are a nice length so i will discontinue with the 'boost' and rely on lash dye, an eyelash curler and mascara instead. These lash serums might be a blessing for hooded, baggy eyes because it would prevent cosmetic surgery to get rid of excess fat and skin!
