      Even though Dr Dray doesn’t support using castor oil on lashes for growth, I still do it lol. I honestly do feel like it makes somewhat of a difference.
      If you look up Jennifer Meyer here on RUclips she has several videos about using castor oil on her lashes for years. Of course I don’t know how long they were originally, but they almost look like false eyelashes now.

    I have used lash serums for years. Starting out I tried the cheapest ones and moved up through the price tags, looking for better results. The more money I paid, the better my lashes got. Eventually, I had the longest, strongest, thickest lashes I’ve ever had. I was delighted with the results!! I noticed my eyes becoming a bit more bloodshot than normal - but on bad days I just used some eye drops! I saw the skin around my eyes turning pinky/red, but I just covered that with concealer. Nothing was going to stop me from having these lovely lashes!!
    Over the years this got more & more noticeable. To the point where people would comment about how sore my eyes looked, but I just made excuses and continued. Then, the eye watering started. And it didn’t stop. My eyes were red, watering all day like I was crying, so I went to the chemist and got some treatment. No difference. My eyes were PAINFUL. I could no longer wear any makeup and the constant tearing had put sores round the edges of my eyes. I was thinking up excuses not to go into work... One day, when finally I could take no more of this torture, I took a x20 mag mirror and looked at my eyes. Then i saw them.
    I had grown like a short, sharp, stubby second row of lashes on the inside of my eyelids that were rubbing on the surface of my eyes, day & night. Scratching & scraping at my eyeballs with every blink. I was HORRIFIED!! I had no option, I tweezed them all out there and then!!!
    I stopped using my serum. My eyes are no longer bloodshot, watering, sore or red-rimmed. My eyes have recovered with no real lasting damage, thankfully.
    I knew all along that the serum was the cause of my problem, but I had no idea WHAT the problem was!!!!!!
    I was addicted I suppose.

    I used GrandeLash for a while and my eyelashes looked amazing. I experienced darkening eye circles, red eyes (sometimes) and a sunken in eye look. I continued using it until my eye doctor said I had clogged oil glands. I stopped using it immediately and the symptoms disappeared. A year later got checked up on again. No clogged glands. Its not worth it, trust me. Your health is so much more than the way you look.

      Admin User I was using it PM, upper lids only. I may have been using too much; over the past week I’ve taken care to wipe the excess from the applicator back onto the rim of the tube (if that makes sense) instead of just glooping it on and the darkness on my lids seems to be getting better. Tbh, Dr. Dray scared me. Lol. I love my results but I don’t want dark, sunken eyes. I’m using GrandeLash + GrandeBrow to help replace hair I’ve lost to an autoimmune disease. But what good will it do to have luscious brows & lashes if my eyes become all sunken and ghastly?😂😭😂😭

Once I stopped using it my eyes went back to normal in a few days. I know if you use too much it can cause the darkness....so maybe try every other night and just a little bit to avoid the darkness. I just stopped using it and started using false lashes lol

    02:15 🩺 Lash serums can cause side effects including itchiness, redness, rashes, and irritation around the eyes.
    03:24 🌈 Prostaglandin analogs in lash serums can lead to skin discoloration, changes in iris color, and even vision problems.
    04:47 💄 Cosmetics with prostaglandin analogs have similar side effects to prescription products, but are not required to disclose these risks.
    07:09 💸 A survey shows that many people stop using lash serums due to side effects like irritation, redness, and high cost.

    A bit off topic - but I had lash extensions for about 2 years solid - and it's the worst thing I ever did to my lashes. I stopped using them due to increasing irritation to the glue and lashes alike - it didn't seem to matter what type or who did it - I developed blepharitis and peri-orbital edema and redness that just worstened. It took about 8 months for my lashes to appear normal again after discontinuing and to this day, my lash growth cycle seems to be stunted - I lose baby lashes quite often (they fall out before they even mature), and my lashes are nowhere near as dense and long as they once were. Never again! Due to my eye sensitivity, I refuse to put anything else near that lash line except good old face fash and whatever moisturizer makes it's way to my pores.

    Hi Dr. Dray, I really appreciate you addressing this topic. I started using Babelash serum (nightly) around 4 - 5 months ago and have had great results with no side effects so far. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous about trying this type of product. At 62 my lashes had become pretty sparse and now they have lengthened and thickened so well that when I wear mascara, some friends have asked if they are false.

      Exactly! Only very very lightly dab on bottom of the upper lid lash, and obviously be super careful not to get it into the eye. No need to put on bottom lash. The bottom Lash will get treated from product on the upper li led when you sleep. Also, I’ve found I only need it twice a week but I bet once a week works also. (I’ve used revitalsh. Grandelash and latisse. I prefer Latisse because of the higher quality control and pharmaceutical testing, and it doesn’t have unnecessary ingredients that the knockoffs have, but it’s pricier and you have to get it from a doctor/medical office.

      I do lash lifts and semi permanent lashes in my job. I love the results of both but I can say that I see the adverse effects of lash lifts. Firstly getting it done once in a while is fine they look great. But when I see frequent lash lift clients come in for semi permanent lashes I use magnifying goggles. I can often see under a magnification that these clients have lots of snapped lashes that stop before the lash naturally tapers. I don’t notice this with the semi permanent but I do hear a lot of people say they feel their lashes have thinned not clients but other colleagues who’ve tried them. I personally haven’t noticed this but my lashes aren’t great naturally anyway. Anyway to summarise I personally don’t mind the odd lash lift but I wouldn’t get it done constantly even when leaving the 8-10 week gap you should leave in between x

      @@beautybrief114 thank you for this! I was wondering if it would be better to just use an eyelash curler, would it be less harmful than getting it lifted or having falsies put in?
      Also, I used to get my lashes lifted and the first time was great and I would wait months before having them done again. However, I went in the last time, my lashes seemed "crispy" and a lot fell out and it was curled differently than the first time, and it looked very unflattering. I dont know if the technician left it in too long but after that, I didnt go back.

      @@infairvarona so it can over process either because it’s been processed previously or because it’s on too long/ its too strong for your lashes. Unfortunately one of the reasons I don’t like doing lash lifts as a lash tech is cause one persons lashes can be super tolerant and you barely get a lift and another persons can be weaker and over process. For example I’m ginger and redheads tend to have stronger more coarse hairs so mine don’t overprocess and the solution needs to be on longer to get a decent lift, but someone who’s got fine hair could get over processed much quicker & you can’t always tell what clients lashes will do which. I love the results you can get, and I would get it occasionally. And same with brow lamination I was doing that on myself all the time because I love the results and I was definitely shedding hairs faster from it. X

    No problems with Latisse. I have been using it for several years; it provides major lengthening, to the point where I have to trim one lash (in the middle) which gets super long.
    With Latisse, you only need it once a week to maintain the original eyelash growth.

    I tried Revitalash for the first time last year and right away wherever I put the serum by the next morning was all purple and swollen I wasn’t sure what was going on at the time but obviously when I stopped using it (which was only after a few more uses) the discoloration and the swelling went away. I spent ALOT of money on that stuff too 😩 I wanted it to work so bad but definitely not worth the side effects from it and I could only imagine what would’ve happened if I continued use! Thanks for another informative video!! 😄

    I used to use the original Revitalash. Worked amazing! Long gorgeous lashes, but also darkened eyelids. Once I tinted my lashes and from that moment on, my lids got so sensitive and irritated and could no longer tolerate the lash serum. I waited over 5 years, used Latisse and my eyes blew up! I can no longer use tint nor grow serum due to extreme sensitivity!

    As someone who suffers from anxiety which makes me pick at my eyelashes and often rip them out, products like these have quite literally saved my eyes and eyelashes. While the risks mentioned in this video are possible, I have personally never experienced any of them. I have used revitalash for nearly 2 years now and it has strengthened my eyelashes immensely, helped them grow back quicker, and the added length was truly just a bonus. Several of my friends noticed how much it was helping me and have started using other products with great success and no side effects. It’s so important to consult with your doctors first when considering anything that is claiming to alter anything about your body but there are risks associated with everything. If you notice any of these changes or concerns just stop using immediately! Other than that if you’re curious about them I would recommend trying. Loved this video though to help inform people of what to look out for!
