Review (5/5): Slow and Steady Wins the Race
Prior to this purchase, I had been using pure cold-pressed castor oil in an attempt to grow and strengthen my sparse eyebrows and eyelashes for about six months with no visible results. I purchased this product because of the additional oils hoping for better luck. Having used it for about a month, I feel that my eyelashes are fuller and my brows are looking thicker as well. After my evening face cleanse, I dispense the oil into the palm of my hand and use a cotton swab to apply to both my upper and lower lashes. I then use the swab to coat my brows, and if I have any oil left, I rub it into my hands. The oil absorbs nicely, does not get into my eyes, and has no objectionable odor. I appreciate that it is 100% natural as I try to avoid using products with harmful ingredients, especially preservatives like phenoxyethanol, which is found in nearly all "natural" products. One year ago I was using a less natural product for growing lashes and it worked amazingly well. Then I happened to read reviews that stated that after months of use women were having their lashes fall out. I returned the product and sought a natural alternative, which led me to castor oil. Castor oil has not giving me the dramatic results of the unnatural product, but I have not experienced any loss of lashes, and this reviewed product seems to be actually working. I prefer to have a slower and less dramatic result with a healthier product. I see no reason not to continue using this, and am optimistic that I will continue to see results.
