Eyelash serums have become a tried-and-true method for many seeking a doll-eyed look. They work by supporting and strengthening the hair follicles within your lash line and stimulating and extending the growth cycle. And while their jaw-dropping results all come down to the serum’s lash-boosting ingredients – when shopping for an eyelash growth serum, there is one important factor to consider: not all eyelash growth serums are safe. In fact, there are very few serums that are safe, and it all boils down to one specific ingredient commonly found in serums – Prostaglandin analogues. Lab-made and used in serums to prolong the growth phase of the lash growth cycle, they do effectively stimulate lash growth, but they come with a lot of risks and side effects. Side effects include fat atrophy around the eyes, discolored eyelid skin, pigment changes of the iris, red, dry eyes, cystoid macular edema, and iris cysts. Long-term use can cause serious harm to your eyes. To see if an eyelash growth serum contains prostaglandin analogues, look out for bimatoprost, isopropyl cloprostenate, and dechloro-dihydroxy-difluoro ethylcloprostenolamide in the ingredient list.
Having tackled this, let’s get to the one eyelash growth serum worth the investment: We’re talking Dr. Devgan’s Platinum Long Lash. Don't get turned away from the price tag on this pick, this lash serum gives serious results. Dr. Devgan’s Platinum Long Lash is skipping on harmful prostaglandin analogues and giving you an all-natural but high-performing powerhouse list of ingredients to increase hair growth and strength. Over 12 weeks, your lashes will become much stronger, resulting in thicker, curlier, and longer lashes. Did we mention this works wonders on brows too?
WHAT IT IS
A proprietary eyelash growth serum that has been clinically proven to improve the length, density, and growth of lashes and brows. Platinum Long Lash contains an innovative phyto-peptide complex — rich in Trifolium Pratense, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Provitamin B5, Biochanin-A, and hair-stimulatory nutrients — designed to achieve denser, longer, and stronger lashes by extending the life cycle of eyelashes and promote their growth. As Dr. Devgan explained to us, “Think of this as a fertilizer to enhance the growth of your eyelashes. Lashes have a 4-5 month growth cycle, and they grow until they die; this product supports their growth so that each one lives longer and supports the environmental milieu of lashes for increased density, length, and strength.”
WHY IT’S QEY
Designed without the use of prostaglandins, it avoids the downsides of lash growth products such as darkening of the iris or surrounding eye tissue, and eye irritation. Plus, it’s safe even for use during pregnancy and nursing.
