I have been using The Ordinary for brows (I have a bald spot in my eyebrow; one of the indignities of aging). It has been working but takes a long time, like months. I try it on my lashes but not consistently enough to judge it. I really appreciated all of the info you gave us. Great job.

I loooved how my lashes looked while using Grandelash & Revitalash. But over time my eyes became extremely red, dry, irritated and tired. If I used the serum at night I could barely open my eyes in the morning. Also would get regular styes. Safe to say I had to stop & accept my natural lashes 🙃

Such a good video!. I like The Ordinary lash serum and will continue to use it-even though as you said, it really isn’t a highly noticeable result. What I did get was a little bit of increase in thickness at the corners of my eyes where I had lost eyelashes now that I’m 60. I just mainly feel like it keeps my eyelashes healthy, and I lose far fewer than I did before I started using it.

To quote Back to the Future, “this is heavy.” I 💜 the commitment to the trials of different brands. (over 3 years 👏) I have received an offer from Latisse, but I definitely wanted more information. I do think that it's very interesting to include peptides in formulas, but I would like specific callouts for each peptide in regard to function. I think the benefit does not outweigh the risk for me. I have long curly lashes so I just focus on health from within. ✨ Thanks for sharing! ✨

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

I think that’s a smart plan, and I am glad you recognize that you have nice lashes to begin with! I actually started doubting whether mine were ever really “that bad” or if I just believed mascara commercials circa 2003 (sadly, probably that! 👀)

@sererev 10 месяцев назад

I've used prostaglandins to manage my glaucoma for a few years. They did make my bottom lashes longer and make lashes grow around my tear duct too, but I had to switch to a different medication after a few years because I developed an intolerance to them. My eye doctor said that's fairly common too, they are indeed known to be irritating.

@ceciliagovea 10 месяцев назад

I've also seen ophthalmologist warn about extreme eye dryness from the consistent use of prostaglandin analogs, so I'm with you on this one. I don't think it's worth the risk 😔

@oliviaspring9690 10 месяцев назад

Honestly it seems easier, and cheaper, to just buy a spoolie and apply some aloe vera or decent hair oil to the lashes.

@maddy3562 10 месяцев назад

I was using the Ordinary lash serum and it was really hard not to let it get into my eyes, i ended up getting dry eyes, (likely due to the serum, as it was the only change in my routine). My eyes were so bloodshot and uncomfortable. Thankfully my dry eyes are better since stopping the serum and medicated eye drops and eye balm, and it took 2 months for my eyes to look and feel normal again. I will only use this for my brows, but not on or around my lashes.

@SarahMcAshan 10 месяцев назад

Same here! I have Sjogren's Syndrome, so anything that even might increase dryness is not worth the risk to me. I also notice that some lash serums have benzalkonium chloride as a preservative, and that's super irritating to my clinically dry eyes.

@robertamandab7932 10 месяцев назад

I used Latisse and I got really bad dry eye and like these milia type white bumps along my eyelids and lash line. I was so sad but I had to quit using it.

@Criticalbeauty411 10 месяцев назад

I was so disappointed when I got a sample of one of these w prostaglandins and I immediately had a reaction. My lash line became swollen and red and after 24 hours I looked like I had gotten stung by a bee lol I guess the only silver lining is that I was fortunate enough to get a sample and I didn’t have to purchase it! I really wanted it to work for me because I’m terrible at applying falsies. this was really helpful in pointing out that it’s not really as great as it sounds long-term! (Another thing that’s fortunate is false lashes have gotten easier to apply!) i’m also so grateful to finally hear a review of the Olaplex!!!!! Looking at it I couldn’t justify spending the money without at least hearing people talk about it first because, like you said it’s not like hair I really didn’t know what something like this would do for my lashes! Anyway, another really fantastic video. Thank you so much for explaining all of this!

@Criticalbeauty411 10 месяцев назад

I totally forgot I tried to use the serum up in my eyebrows, but I kept forgetting to use it. I had no reaction there but the fat loss thing really freaks me out, even if it’s a very very long shot!

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

Oh gosh I’m so sorry to hear! Although yes, in a sense it really is a silver lining. I think the real problem here is that we don’t know what these do long-term. They work, yep! But…what happens after 5-10 years of use? Yeah the olaplex is nice, but whew that’s pricey!

@marytisdale1548 10 месяцев назад

Great video! I'm on my second tube of the Ordinary lash serum (bought 2 on sale) and it has done basically nothing. Revitalash, on the other hand, provided great results but was just too pricey. I think I'll stick with a lash primer and mascara as it works well enough for me.

Great content Alice! Thank You. I may add that I've been using neuBrow serum on my eyebrows for ~ 2 yrs, & brows became thicker lush and dark. I'm in my late 50s so historically speaking I've had beautiful dark thick lashes and brows all my life - then menopause arrived. NeuLash also has serum for eye lashes - I used it as well & it works. Due to eye irritation I stopped using it, then I read an article about side effects on the eye. So, I use the lash serum on my brows (have 2 tubes of it). Your thoughts Alice?

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

So funny enough, that’s actually harder for me to answer. Since the original use was eye-related, there’s even less research on the impact on the brow area! That said, I’m seeing comments from people who report no issues with PA-containing lash serums. So I guess it could come back down to: if it’s working out for you, personally?

@montananerd8244 10 месяцев назад

I will never use another lash serum, no matter what ingredients. I had mutant lashes growing in weird places! I used a faux-high end (high retail price but unknown brand, popular with subscription boxes, prob just intended to be drugstore price point) lash serum from ipsy, whose ingredients indicated it was just an oil moisturizer. I have too many lashes but it's not cute (2-3 lines of them, and many go in weird directions, they always hook my lower lashes or poke my eye), but i figured it would make a nice moisturizer for my eye area. Oh my! I grew two bizarre lashes, one noticeably higher than my lash line, the other eyelash GREW UNDER THE TOP LAYER OF MY SKIN. Fortunately, both 'died' and went away after i threw it out. I dont know what was really in that serum, but i am now very suspicious of all of them.

@Arbee1000 10 месяцев назад

That’s so interesting that you mentioned The Ordinary might not do much if you don’t need it, because I’ve observed the same thing. I used Ordinary on my lashes for several months and it made my lower lashes, which were always kind of sparse, noticeably filled in and longer. But it didn’t make a noticeable difference to my upper lashes, which were already decently long/dense. Ordinary has worked amazingly well on my brows too. As for Grande, I used it on my brows for probably a year and it didn’t seem to do anything. However I’ve been using GrandeLash on my lashes for a few months and I see noticeable results on both my upper and lower lashes. I haven’t had any irritation or odd hair growth yet. I have dry eyes but neither serum has seemed to make it any worse. Even though I love having longer lashes, I’ve decided that once I finish this tube of GrandeLash I’m going to stop using any lash serum because I’m worried about long term side effects around my eyes. My upper lashes are naturally decent and I work from home so no one is around to enjoy my long lashes with me anyway. However, I will keep using Ordinary on my brows.

I always had nice eyelashes until the "big m" (menopause) struck and I found myself with diddly little stumps. After all the other symptoms this was the final straw. I wasn't having it! I've been using Revitalash since February and love my lashes again. I do get the occasional flare up of reaction every now and then but i think it's getting less as I get used to it. I'd say I've lost some fat from above my eyes but in my case that's not such a bad thing because I have hooded eyes and the hoodedness seems less. I dont think I'll ever stop using Revitalash and I'll sleep on the street before I give it up! 😂 Anyway, the best thing of all - I was worried about getting ripped off and the product not working. I stated doing research online and indirectly found you!! Hurrah! ❤❤❤ Kind of hoping The Ordinary hair peptide stuff restores my thinning hair... one can but hope... sigh.

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

Oh dear, I am SO glad you mentioned this as it’s something I forgot. One of the many articles I read spoke with an ophthalmologist, and they did say there may be an unspoken benefit thus far for hooded lids! Granted, it’s still important to watch for inflammation (do you think it might be that in the act of getting used to it, you managed the application better? Meaning could it be a dose-dependent sensitivity?)

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

Hmm so you’re thinking the tret could be correlating with brow loss? I’ve heard a few people report that, although I’m not sure on where that stands from a research perspective. What you could do is: apply Vaseline around your brows before the tret. That might help by preventing absorption (same principle in applying Vaseline to sensitive areas pre-retinoid). It’s a good idea to check with your doctor too. Hair loss is a sign that something is off, but the cause can be one of MANY different reasons.

@kr59137 10 месяцев назад

It just seems too risky around my eyes. The thought of growing lashes out of my tear ducts really creeps me out too. One surprising benefit of Tretinoin for me has been a huge improvement in my poor, overplucked eyebrows from the early 2000s. It's really noticeable since I got into the higher percentages, I'm at .14% now. Sadly no benefits for my eyelashes, lol.

@lexaille 10 месяцев назад

My experience with The Ordinary serum and the one from Romand (Han All Lash Serum): I lost a chunk of lashes a few months ago. I was just curling my lashes one day and a whole half inch section just decided to jettison off my eyelid. No pain, no excessive pulling, no warning. So I started to use the Romand lash serum directly on my lashes and The Ordinary serum on my lash line and, while they may have helped somewhat with regrowth, the biggest thing I've noticed is much less fallout, especially when I curl my lashes. I was never expecting them to give me longer darker lashes but, like you mentioned, the lashes I do have "feel" healthier.

@gasparinha 10 месяцев назад

I used Babe Lash (another prostaglandin-analog serum) for 3-4 months last year, and did see significant results. I was a little unsettled by the reports of side effects, and I already have eye issues - contact wearer, seasonal allergies, chronic dry eye (treated with prescription drops) - so I decided not to continue it despite the fact that I hadn't had any side effects. I decided to try The Ordinary's serum instead, and it didn't work miracles, but it seemed to help me retain the lash fullness I got from the other serum. My eyes have been really irritated this summer (probably from the Canadian wildfires 😥), so I haven't used the serum regularly in months, and honestly, I haven't noticed that much of a difference. I'm easing into using it again, mainly just to see if it does anything, but Lash Princess is a safer bet, right?

I accidentally discovered a brow product that works with no side effects on me--the Bare Minerals Strength and Length brow gel, which has a combo of Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 and Red Clover extract (together known as Capixyl in the trade). I got the gel because Lisa Eldridge recommended it as a good brow gel, and 2 months later I looked in the mirror and couldn't tell whether I'd filled in my brows or not! My brows were not thicker than they'd ever been, mind you, just thicker than they were--say, they went back in time about a decade's worth? Also, I'd started getting a few hairs with no color, like platinum/silver, and I no longer have those; my old color is restored for some reason. I assume the pale hairs reached the end of their lives, fell out, and the replacements grew back with color (which on me is red/blonde/light brown--redheads don't have solid red brows!) I tried their mascara from the same Strength and Length line, and while it was non-irritating, I noticed no difference in my lashes. I don't wear mascara every day anymore though, so that could be it.

Sadly I’ve yet to try anything on my brows (oddly enough!) - hypothetically, they could serve the same functions around the brows though

Thank you for sharing! I deeply hope researchers seek out folks like you, who have plenty of experience with these products. It’s time we figure out why these seem to work great for some, and not so great for others!

Hallo Alice, I am using the ordinary lash and brow serum and cosmetic grade caster oil. I actually have seen a difference after 3 months. I just want it to help I don't expect miracles. When I heard Lisa from Lisa Monique beauty saying she uses grande lash and doesn't mind the darking around eyes and brows I was nope! I have dark circles from being a celiac and crohns and milk allergy that I hate I was nope don't want that. I watched James Welch do a video on this too, that was enough too for me to pass.

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

Oh wow, thanks for sharing! Can I ask how you combine the two? (Like TO first, then the castor oil?)

@tamizilla 10 месяцев назад

@@AliceintheRabbitHole sure, at the start of evening skincare routine I put the ordinary lash brow serum on then I start routine ending with moisturizer. Then I wait about an hour before I put on my chia seed oil on face and then with a set of lash brushes ( mascara type and liner ) tube set I can put cosmetics caster oil ( I only put a little bit in, every few weeks I clean and sanitize) and I go to sleep. I have been doing this for a year now. If not clear please tell me.

Every time I used Latisse/Careprost, I woke up with crusty, itchy eyes and that red puffy line at the lashes. Inflammation is absolutely an issue. :\

Is it true that copper peptides Can cause cancer when using in skincare products

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

Hmm I think you might be thinking of growth factor peptides? Those are purported to be mitogenic, not mutagenic - meaning they may facilitate tissue growth (hence the name), but they don’t cause mutations (ie the development of cancer). That said, as a precaution, it’s recommended not to use growth factors if you have or suspect you may have skin cancer. Hope that helps!

SHARING FACTS. Prostaglandin free lash serums are a waist of time because it doesn't prevent the lash fall out phase which is something you can't prevent. It's just something that naturally happens to everyone. In order to prevent your lashes from falling out and to keep your new long lash growth results. You need a lash serum that has a prostaglandin in it. Prostaglandins prevent the lash fall out phase!

I got the lash extensions about 7 or 8 years ago. Disaster . I looked like a rabbit 🐇 so I used grande lash to grow them back out. I just bought babe lash about 3 or 4 weeks ago. Alot of people are seeing crazy results with spoiled child hair skin nails lashed so I'm thinking about that . And alot of people swear by black Jamaican castor oil. We do alot of falsies for events parties weddings etc. Easy to get them on elissa. Hard to do it myself lol

@AliceintheRabbitHole 10 месяцев назад

Yes it does seem many swear by castor oil! I’m curious myself 🤔

So I just want to make a couple of points. If you are still unsure about how you feel about these, let me tell you a little story; I had been using the babe lash growth serum and really didn't have any issues with it but hated the fact that I had to keep using it and I read that the ordinary lash serum was healthier because it only uses peptides. Well one day I was in a huge rush and I applied my lash serum. I noticed within a couple hours my I was extremely irritated and I had remembered that earlier I had experienced some weird discoloration in my eye. At that point I should have rinsed my eyes. Long story short the next morning at 5 a.m. I woke up at in such extreme discomfort that I started crying and moaning. I couldn't close my eyes or keep them open because of the pain. Thank God I was able to get someone in my house to help me. I woke up my mom and she took me to the emergency room. They ended up saying am I was extremely irritated. LOL, no s***. They gave me some steroid eye drops and within 30 minutes I started to feel better. I am sending the ordinary the bill for this. Apparently I'm not the only one that has had issues with the serum. I still have a huge red mark in my eye that you would take me from time to time. I will say that babe lash worked pretty well for me. I also didn't have much irritation from it.
