We understand — eyelash serum is the kind of product that can seem almost too good to be true. Perhaps you've seen some before-and-after results and wondered whether an eyelash serum can really deliver lashes that long. What does eyelash serum actually contain? Is eyelash serum safe to use? We'll answer all of those questions in this article — and our goal is to convince you.
Long, full lashes have been having a moment for quite some time now, and the options for achieving them are many. One of them is eyelash serum. Perhaps you've come across adverts on social media for various lash serums, with seemingly no limit to the glowing claims? You might be wondering whether they're really that good. Yes, we'd say — but there's a big difference between one eyelash serum and another. More on that shortly.
To understand how eyelash serum works, we first need to explain how the lash growth cycle works
What many eyelash serums do is influence the growth cycle — most commonly by extending the active growth phase: the anagen phase. This phase lasts roughly four to six weeks, during which your lashes grow continuously. After that, your lashes enter the catagen phase, where they've reached their maximum length and the hair follicles begin to shrink. This lasts for around two to three weeks. The final stage is the telogen phase — a resting and recovery phase for your lashes. It continues until the lash falls out naturally, which can take up to 100 days. It's worth noting that all your lashes are in different phases of the growth cycle at any given time, which is why some lashes may appear shorter than others.
Which eyelash serum is best?
There are many eyelash serums on the market, and the difference in quality between them is significant. We'd also argue that you get what you pay for. If you find an eyelash serum priced under a tenner, you probably shouldn't have too high expectations — regardless of the glowing claims from the brand itself.
When choosing an eyelash serum, it's important to do your research properly. Browse the brand's website and social media channels to find customer reviews and real results. Or you could go with Sweden's best-selling eyelash serum: Xlash Eyelash Serum, with more than three million satisfied customers. The only choice, in our opinion.
What does the Xlash eyelash serum contain?
Xlash Eyelash Serum contains an exclusive, high-tech formula developed by combining active, natural ingredients with advanced science. It is formulated entirely without chemicals that can cause serious or irritating side effects. Instead, only ingredients that have been shown to be completely safe in several clinical trials have been used.
The key ingredients are Biotin Peptide, Green Tea, and Hyaluronic Acid. Together, they improve the regeneration and growth of your lashes. Read more about the active ingredients below — they're what allows Xlash to deliver such impressive results so effectively.
Biotin Peptide
An active ingredient that helps your lashes grow longer, stronger, and thicker.
Green Tea
A potent moisturising ingredient that promotes healthy, nourished lashes.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a moisture-binding substance that occurs naturally in the body and can hold up to 1,000 times its own weight in water. It's an important ingredient for keeping skin looking plump and supple — but as we age, the body's own production of Hyaluronic Acid decreases. That's when it helps to replenish it from the outside. Hyaluronic Acid is also beneficial for your lash health. Among other things, it helps to strengthen and moisturise your lashes and improve their flexibility, resulting in healthier lashes with increased growth.
Is it safe to use eyelash serum?
Yes! The vast majority of eyelash serums on the market are completely safe to use. This applies to Xlash Eyelash Serum as well, whose safety has been confirmed in several clinical trials. The trials also showed that the serum does not cause any serious side effects.
If you have sensitive skin, it's recommended that you carry out a patch test before applying Xlash Eyelash Serum along your lash line. Apply a small amount of Xlash to your wrist and wait 24 hours. If no reaction appears during that time, Xlash is completely safe to use for you.
We hope this article has helped convince you that eyelash serum is completely safe to use — and above all, answered a question you may have been wondering about: what does eyelash serum actually contain?
Xlash Eyelash Serum is also simple and straightforward to use. Start by removing your makeup, then cleanse your face. Clean skin is important for getting the best possible results with Xlash, as the active ingredients can penetrate the skin more easily. Then apply Xlash along your upper lash line, right at the root of the lashes. Repeat this each evening for at least 28 days. We recommend applying your eyelash serum in the evening, so the active ingredients have the chance to work overnight.
