I’ve Tried Over 20 Eyelash Serums—These Are the Ones That Actually Work

This was the first lash-enhancing serum I've ever used, and I still think it's one of the best. I always end up going back to it. You don't have to take my word for it though—its almost five-star rating is backed by over 26,000 glowing reviews. You can also get the one-month supply for just $36.

"I really wish I would have taken before pics. My hairdresser told me about this stuff and said ‘it works so good I had to stop using it every night.’ I thought to myself "Oh yeah, lashes too long, no such thing" but I am on my second tube and I'm going to start using every other night. My lashes are so long, and it's like I have a double row of lashes. My bottom lashes are thicker too. I rarely write reviews but wanted to share because it really really works," one reviewer says.

I absolutely love a two-in-one product and Factor Five’s Lash and Eye Cream is one of my favorites of all time. The formula contains human-derived stem cell growth factors, which not only help promote lash growth but also help soften the look fine lines and crows’ feet while lifting discoloration.

“My girlfriend recommended this product to me, she is in her mid 30's, and has no signs of early aging! I ordered this product and got it almost the next day. I've only been using it for about a week now but so far it appears to be moisturizing without being greasy and my lashes feel supple and conditioned,” one Amazon shopper said.

This lash conditioner promotes accelerated growrth while also boosting hydration and moisture, which in turn, prevents lashes from falling out.

"This transformed my light, sparse lashes into dark thick lashes. It takes a few month to see results but its well worth the wait. I absolutely love this product and will never go without it again," one Dermstore reviewer writes.

This affordable lash serum is infused with the brand’s HEXATEIN 1 COMPLEX, containing six super concentrated ingredients that promote the look of lash length and volume. It also contains polypeptides which not only fortify the lashes, but also prevent breakage.

“Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I've used everything. My aging lashes and brows were getting shorter and sparser. Two weeks after starting I noticed an increase in volume (new lashes) and length. Now I've been using it every single night for 3 months and I seriously have longer lashes than if I had extensions,” said one enthusiastic reviewer.

Known for their hair-growth-boosting gummy supplements, SugarBear has finally launched a topical solution to amplify the results. The vegan and cruelty-free lash serum is powered by a blend of lash-amplifying peptides and is safe for contact lens wearers and even those with lash extensions.

“First, this is super cute. Secondly, after a month of use and faithfully taking my multivitamin, I can truthfully say that I've noticed a difference. This actually works,” one Amazon reviewer said.

If you’re looking for a clean, vegan, and cruelty-free lash serum that won’t cause irritation or side effects, Thrive Cuasmetic’s Liquid Lash Extension Serum is a great option. Following the success of its coveted Liquid Lash Extension Mascara (which is SO good!), the follow-up lash serum was a natural next move for the brand.

“I tried several serums before and one gave me a severe allergic reaction, and the others simply did not do anything. I love several Thrive products so I said let me give it a try, to my surprise only three weeks later I noticed the difference!!! My eyelashes are fuller!!!!! I love love love the eyelash extension serum,” wrote one five-star reviewer.

This is another formula that got me on board with the power of lash growth serums. Babe Lash has a slew of lash and brow essentials serums, as well as conditioning counterparts to amplify its volumizing effects. Plus, I didn't feel any eye or lid irritation with this formula.

"Holy moly! This product is a godsend. For no apparent reason, I started losing chunks of my eyelashes a few months ago. I bought another eyelash serum and used it for about 5 weeks but was seeing absolutely no new growth or any progress at all. Then, someone suggested I try BabeLash. After just a couple of weeks, I began to see new growth and now, after 6 weeks- my lashes are full again and SO long," said one reviewer on Amazon.

When I ran out of my three-month supply of GrandLASH-MD, I was lucky enough to receive a sample of LiLash's physician-formulated lash serum, which key my lash-boosting momentum going and caused no irritation to my eyes or lids. It's also ophthalmologist tested, so it's a great formula for those with sensitive eyes and those who wear contacts. Clearly, I'm not alone in my love for this formula either.

"Yup-this is the only serum that works for me- and boy, does it work!! I used LiLash years ago and loved having luscious lashes until I couldn’t get it anymore. I tried about six different serums after that and NONE of them worked - which is really frustrating after waiting the 5-6 weeks of use to know. I looked up LiLash recently and was shocked to see it available again," writes one reviewer.

Like all of NeoGenesis' clinical-forward formulas, their NeoLash lash-enhancing serum is backed by ample research to prove its efficacy, and it's also a favorite among a slew of estheticians.

"I’ve been using NeoLash once a day for 2 weeks and I can definitely see a difference in the volume and length of my lashes. I had an area on both of my upper lids where the lashes frequently fell out and that has filled in nicely and is no longer a problem. It doesn’t leave a line on my lid nor does it sting my eyes if I accidentally get it in there. I highly recommend NeoLash for anyone who wants thicker, longer lashes," one reviewer writes.

I love a two-in-one formula—especially one that's affordably priced. There aren't many drugstore lash and brow serums on the market, but if you are going to opt for an under $20 formula, this is the one to go with.

This relatively affordable lash growth serum is infused with arginine, a powerful active ingredient linked with helping boost hair growth. The gentle formula helps promote volume and length while conditioning each lash. This serum is especially great for those with sensitive eyes.

"I have really sensitive eyes and Shiseido products are awesome for me. Can’t say enough good things abt it. Started using this a little over two weeks ago and I’m already seeing results!! Affordable and effective. Buying more," one Nordstrom reviewer says.

This lash and brow serum brand delivers maximum growrth-boosting and moisture-increasing benefits without fillers and frills. The proprietary formula nourishes lashes for a long period of time to strengthen follicles and thus, prevent breakage.

"I tried the lash serum product and was totally amazed at how fast my lashes grew. Yes, I did as the directions said and I applied it twice a day whenever I remembered to do it. Soooo....within two weeks, my lashes were Very Noticeable Longer!!! I have tried several products on my lashes aka, Babe Lash and Latisse, and 801 Cosmetics made them grow faster and darker! Their products are worth every cent," one reviewer writes.
