5 of the best eyelash growth serums in Australia

As we age, our lashes and brow hairs can become sparse, frail and not as voluminous as they once were. So when the first ever lash serum, Latisse, hit the market in 2008, it was only a matter of time before other brands jumped on board, releasing their own growth serums that promise to be the answer to your lash woes. But do they really work…?
How do lash serums work?
Eyelash serums that promote genuine growth contain active ingredients, like bimatoprost and isopropyl cloprostenate, which stimulate growth at all stages of the hair growth cycle. During a regular hair cycle, a lash follicle may stop growing hair for a few weeks, even if the eyelash has fallen out. But by applying a lash serum, it helps to maintain steady hair growth for both existing lashes and empty follicles.
Lash serums and eye sensitivity
While serums with active ingredients will typically provide the best results, some users may find them irritating to the eye. If you suffer from sensitivity, opt for a serum that conditions and softens lashes without actually stimulating growth. These serums will still make your lashes appear longer and fuller without the stinging.
So now that you’re up to speed, let’s get to the good stuff. We’ve rounded up five of the best eyelash serums, with both active and botanical ingredients, to help you achieve the long, luscious lashes of your dreams...

DHC has a lash tonic which is great for sensitive eyes and it really works.

I find that certain eye creams and rose hip oil also make my lashes look glossier and more nourished so it looks nicer. Eyelashes is something that just grows to a certain length so using a serum often is too difficult for my routine.

I've tried lash serums in the past, but not worth the eye irritation for me.

I like the sound of the Vichy one, my eyes do get sensitive easily and I would love fuller lashes.

I have tried a few of these brands but nothing really out of the ordinary has happened for me.. Good luck to everyone else who tries them out

Would love longer lashes but I've always been sceptical. I've tried one from another brand and didn't really see any improvement. I did stick it out for the eight weeks suggested but I'm generally an impatient person so I probably wouldn't give it another crack.

I'm happy with the length of my lashes but I wish they were a lot darker.

I've tried a Rimmel one and saw results. I think it was a trial if I remember well.

I have used one recently, still using (3 months or so) daily. No improvement. Only ones I think that can make a difference are those based on some hormonal/steroidal medical ing. Oils and peptides and vitamins...naaaaa

The Vichy one sounds good because it's good for the eyes too and not just the lashes. Cool!
