For example, Lashaddict Eyelash Conditioning Serum uses a patented proprietary nano-peptide complex combined with a blend of nutrients and moisturizers that stimulates your lashes to become longer and thicker. It also strengthens the hair follicles to minimize breakage!

Here are some of the key ingredients that makes an eyelash serum effective (specifically found in the Lashaddict formula):

1. Proprietary Nano-Peptide Complex -to strengthen and enhance the appearance of lash length & thickness for healthy, beautiful lashes!

The only downside to this is that when you stop using the serum, your eyelashes will gradually return to their original appearance. This is because when your eyelashes have run its growth cycle course, they will shed and grow back to their normal length. It is recommended that you keep on using the eyelash serum to always get that luscious lashes. Putting eyelash serums will be another step to your skin care routine but it will be worth it!

Is eyelash serum safe during pregnancy?

Eyelash serums from reliable brands are tested to be safe to the skin and in the eyes.

How to apply eyelash serum correctly

To maintain the full effect of the serum, we recommend that you apply a small amount of Lashaddict serum 2-3 times per week every night after you remove your eye makeup. Allow 6-12 weeks of use to see maximum results. Once opened, you should use your serum within 6 months or as indicated by the manufacturer.

Here are the steps to apply your eyelash serum:

Step 1. Eyelash serum is best absorbed to clean and dry skin. Before application, you should make sure your makeup is removed entirely and you have washed your face!

Step 2. Sweep the applicator brush along the lash line in a single stroke. Some eyelash serums are concentrated so a small product goes a long way! Apply the serum to the skin closest to the lashes, above the upper lash line.

Step 3. Wait around 2 minutes for the serum to be absorbed into the skin before applying other skincare products.

Step 4. It is best used once a night before going to bed.
