Review (3/5): No noticeable results after over a month - UPDATED 11/9/14
NOTE: I received a free sample of this product to review.
Like the hair on my head, my eyelashes are thin and fine. Without mascara, they are barely noticeable. I have never before tried an eyelash growth serum and was frankly somewhat skeptical, yet at the same time, I was excited at the thought that this product might be beneficial.
This serum is packaged in a tube that looks like mascara. However, the inner wand ends in a tiny brush that is like a VERY thin paintbrush. I would have preferred a slightly thicker applicator; the brush was SO small that it was difficult to see the serum for precise application.
I followed the instructions for this product, applying nightly along my lash line. I used this product daily for over a month (since late August). Unfortunately, I am not able to discern any noticeable results. I actually took photos, thinking that might show more of a difference, I but do not see any changes in the photos, either. (It looks like Amazon has finally posted my photos, so you can see what you think for yourself.)
The only small improvement I have noticed of late is that AFTER applying my mascara, my lashes seem longer than they normally would with mascara--it's almost as if they are somehow adhering to the mascara better than they would normally. I'm not 100% sure if this is a real effect, but that possible sign combined with the fact that I didn't have any adverse reactions to this product is the reason why I gave it two stars rather than one. Perhaps others will have better luck than I did.
UPDATED 11/9/14: Despite my lack of results after one month, I continued to use this product. It has now been over two months, and I believe that I have seen SOME results. At this point, my lashes DO appear longer--I think that's why my mascara has seemed to be working better, as my lashes are a bit longer than before. However, my results have been nothing like the miracles in the photos posted on the product page--yes, my lashes are a bit longer, but the effect is hardly noticeable to the bare eye (I asked my husband, and he didn't notice). Furthermore, my lashes are neither thicker nor more plentiful; this product gave me a bit of length only, not thickness or any other effect. So, in summary, I upgraded my review from two to three stars, but I don't feel like I can go beyond that at this time.
