How eyelash serum works: Ingredients and mechanisms

• Prostaglandin analogues and growth factors: prolongation of the growth phase
• Botanical extracts: stimulation of the hair follicles
• Peptides: anchoring and strengthening of the eyelashes

An eyelash serum works because it contains various active ingredients, each of which stimulates eyelash growth via its own mechanism. Some ingredients prolong the growth phase of the hairs, while others ensure better anchoring or nourishment of the hair follicles. There are also substances that improve blood flow or strengthen the eyelash structure. This combined effect gives the eyelash hair more time and support to grow and stay healthy. The result is fuller, longer and stronger lashes. The effectiveness of a serum therefore strongly depends on the composition of the ingredients. A good formula tackles multiple factors simultaneously for optimal results.

Prostaglandin analogues and growth factors play a crucial role in extending the growth phase of eyelashes. Normally, eyelashes go through a natural growth cycle in which they grow, rest and eventually fall out. By extending the growth phase (also called the anagen phase), eyelashes have more time to grow before they fall out. This results in longer and fuller eyelashes.

Botanical extracts contribute to improved hair growth by dilating the blood vessels around the hair follicles. This increases the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the hair follicles, making them healthier and stronger. Better blood flow means that the eyelashes are optimally nourished, which leads to improved growth and fewer hairs falling out.

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that contribute to the structure and health of eyelash hairs. They not only help anchor the eyelashes in the hair follicles, making them less likely to fall out, but they also have a hair growth-promoting effect. This makes the eyelashes stronger and less likely to break, contributing to a fuller look.

The way eyelash serum works is thanks to the synergy between various active ingredients that together ensure longer and fuller lashes. Prostaglandin analogues and growth factors prolong the growth phase, botanical extracts improve blood flow and peptides strengthen the anchoring and promote hair growth. By consistently using an eyelash serum, you can expect noticeable results after a few weeks and enjoy longer, fuller and healthier lashes!
