How to make eyelashes longer and thicker? Isn't long eyelashes the standard for charming eyes?

As someone who was born with short and sparse eyelashes, I have encountered many pitfalls in making my eyelashes longer. I have tried a lot of popular Japanese eyelash growth serums, such as DHC and canmake, but they have no effect at all!

How to make eyelashes longer and thicker

I listened to my friend's recommendation and bought Rapid Lash, a powerful drug from Europe and America. Wow~ It really has gotten longer~ But why do my eyes always feel red and have serious dark circles? What, you said this is a side effect? !

After climbing out of the pit of eyelash growth liquid with blood and tears, I want to tell you that no matter whether it works or not, I don’t recommend it to you!

If you buy a strong-acting real eyelash growth serum that claims to make your eyelashes noticeably longer in a week or two, I am telling you very seriously: don’t buy it! Because it is likely to contain the following drug ingredient that can make your eyes red and your dark circles worse.

Currently, the only drug that can be found to promote the growth of eyelashes is a drug ingredient called Bimatoprost, whose Chinese name is Bimatoprost.

Initially, the American pharmaceutical company Allergan used this drug to treat glaucoma. During the research and development process, it was discovered that one of its side effects was that it would make eyelashes grow longer.

You should know that this company is not only a global pharmaceutical company, but also a medical beauty giant. The super famous botulinum toxin brand BOTOX? and hyaluronic acid brand JUVéDERM? in the beauty industry are both produced by it.

It thought this was an amazing discovery and it could make a lot of money, so it quickly applied to the FDA for approval of an eyelash growth liquid drug called LATISSE? using this ingredient. The content of bimatoprost was only 0.03%. Please note that this is a prescription drug used for hypotrichosis of eyelashes and can only be prescribed to patients by dermatologists.

Later it was discovered that it would produce a range of adverse reactions, such as redness and itching of the eyes, darkening of the skin in contact with the eyelids, worsening of the dark circles that are usually seen, and the iris might become permanently dark. In the most serious cases, it might cause eye inflammation and decreased vision.

Since the number of reported cases was not enough to prove a strict causal relationship, the drug was not suspended from sale. However, the FDA still required it to revise the instructions to clarify the usage specifications:

• Always use a disposable applicator to avoid infection;

• Apply to the eyelashes of the upper eyelid until the front end of the eyelashes in the growth area is slightly moistened and the liquid does not flow down. However, it cannot be used on the lower eyelashes.

• The growth effect is not permanent. After stopping the medication, the eyelashes will gradually return to their original level as they grow and fall off.

However, there are still some cosmetic brands with a medical beauty background that have followed suit and produced similar eyelash growth liquids, such as Talika and Rapid Lash, which are the strong drugs in Europe and the United States, but most of them are used abroad under the advice of dermatologists. They will keep the concentration of this ingredient as low as possible, perhaps so low that it does not appear on the ingredient list at all.

▲ A user in a forum posted that he had experienced symptoms of stinging and worsening dark circles under his eyes. Girls, you have to be responsible for your own body!

These big brands with well-documented records are still okay. However, there are still some micro-businesses that sell various homemade eyelash growth liquids, or claim that they are produced by major European and American beauty manufacturers, but are actually three-no products. This is really scary. Not only are the ingredients and concentrations unknown, but there is no one to hold anyone accountable if problems arise. Their faces are simply shocking!

If you see eyelash growth liquid claiming to be effective in 1-2 weeks, don't buy it! If you are already using it and have even experienced the above-mentioned obvious side effects, stop immediately and see a doctor!
