Aiming for long, thick eyelashes is what we do. Some of us use fake lashes, and some undergo lash extensions. There is another way to make your natural lashes longer and thicker, and that is by using eyelash growth serum. But how can we be sure of its safety in our eyes?

Lash growth serum contains ingredients like peptides, collagen, amino acid, and prostaglandins, that helps moisturize the roots of eyelashes and its eyelash hairs. These ingredients help improve conditions for eyelashes to grow.

Risks of using eyelash serums

There can be risks associated with lash boosting products, including:

1. Allergic reaction to ingredients
2. Dry, itchy, and/or red eyes
3. Unwanted hair growth on spots other than the lash line where serum has made contact.

Is it safe to use around the eyes?

Even though it has risks, it is still safe to use around your eyes. By using the eyelash serum properly, you should not encounter problems when using it. 

How to apply the eyelash growth serum properly?

• You must use the eyelash growth serum with a clean and no-makeup face. Using the eyelash growth serum in these circumstances may reduce the efficacy of the eyelash growth serum.
• Apply the eyelash serum using the applicator provided in the top eyelashes, from its roots, up to its hair. The eyelash growth serum is not recommended to use on the lower eyelashes since it has more risks to get it into your eyes. 
• Wait for 5-10 minutes, or until it dries, before you apply your makeup. You can still use fake lashes.
• Apply the eyelash growth serum 1-2 times a day only, in the morning and/or before bed. Using them more than 2 times a day will not make the results faster and better, you will just waste the eyelash growth serum.
