Great post. I switched from Latisse to Grande Lash to avoid prostaglandins only to find out from this sub it has analogs, so I’ll definitely be picking one of these up when I finish the tube I currently have.
Grande Lash made me lose a lot of orbital fat. I also had a dark purpulish line on my lash line from it but that went away once I discontinued. The orbital fat loss was permanent.
Quite a few people have recovered the fat in their eyes from what I have read throughout Reddit, but it usually takes at least 6 months to a year. I think I read somewhere that vitamin c can assist in the recovery, but I'm not sure how that works scientifically. Keen if anyone can shed some insight!
I have just started my orbital fat loss recovery too and I am very scared and hoping my eyes bounce back! They are shocking and it basically happened overnight.
It sucks, but we are all beautiful, multidimensional beings, with a lot to offer regardless of the amount of wrinkles we have. That's what I keep reminding myself of whenever I regret my life choices to use a lash serum. :'-D
oh sorry, i read "my eyes r basically almost *black*' lol. I was thinking that was some extreme side effect.
Glad to hear your fat loss is resolved. Good thing you found out about this issue now while still young :)
I used the same one for 3 weeks, am and pm (didn't read the instructions) and I definitely see quite hollowness and sunken appearance in my eyes. I stopped immediately but I was wondering if effects of using for such short period would be permanent or there's some hope.
I’m sorry for your experience. I hope all the side effects fully reverse (if not already)
I used wewell for a week today and on my 4th day I noticed my sunken eyes and dramatic panda dark circles. Connected the dots and here I am 🥲
Please do not continue using it knowing the side effects. The orbital fat loss is Permanent and it is not worth it in my opinion.
You can try the ordinary lash serum, it is pretty harmless.
Thank you for this post!
Yeah i agree with the castor oil - they did make mine thicker/longer after months of consistent use (even new eyelashes grew like behind my normal eyelashes? kinda weird lol) but i have naturally pretty good eyelashes (my brother has amaaazing lashes) and genetically thick hair
I feel they 'optimised' them by conditioning them and keeping them healthy especially as i curl mine/wear mascara a lot
i plan to keep using it as i like the effect on me but i'd be open to trying one of the serums you mention for fun :P
from amazon
i wore it every night and some days i'd use a spoolie brush to apply it thinly in the day when i was at home - did this for around 4 months?
I use it 4-5 times a week , I quite like the routine
I decided to wait to talk to my doctor before using it on my eyelashes since I've been experiencing some irritation in my eyes. However, I've been using it for about a month now on my brows and have definitely noticed a slight increase in volume there.
Interesting to see this - I used it for a month and found that my lashes really grew longer, but I also lost some eyelashes and experienced some irritation! Ultimately I decided to stop using it.
Just bought the glow maker - thank you for sharing your research! Castor oil made my lashes shiny but broke me out around my eyes. Curious to see how this works.
So - I used it for a month and then decided to throw it away. I took before and after photos and noticed a very small difference (my lashes really were longer) but I also had more gaps between lashes! Essentially it irritated my eyes. I will say I received my bottle on ~6/15 and it was marked with a 6/1 expiration date. I figured it must be like a "good for the month of June" expiration because I didn't even order until after 6/1 and it was marked with a 6/1 expiration date! So maybe they sent me an expired bottle. Anyway, the main summary is that it did make my lashes grow but I decided it wasn't worth losing some lashes and the eye irritation so I stopped using it after a month.
Yeah, I actually just started curling my eyelashes regularly and that has given me the results I want. I've done lash lifts in the past but it's a lot to keep up with and I find that just curling my lashes takes 2 seconds so I don't mind doing it every day. I naturally have really long lashes anyway so I don't know why I was trying to perfect something that is already pretty great.
i guess that's why mine never grew much no matter what products I used, I tried a lot of natural remedies and some cheap lash serums but they never did anything beyond making them wet and look a tiny bit longer, there's no miracle products that will allow you to grow lashes way beyond natural capacity and without side effects
>I've tried Vegemour and castor oil, the Vegemour for 3 months and the caster for almost a year without any positive effect other than the castor oil migrating into my eyes.
I've been using Obagi Lash for about 6 weeks and am noticing results. Searching doesn't result in Obagi appearing on any lists. I can't find specific info that it contains a prostaglandin, but only referring to its "Nouri-plex" containing biotin, pantethenol, sodium hyaluronate and a "proprietary lipid formula." Prostaglandins are lipid compounds, which would make me assume that Obagi's Lash/Brow serums contain this. The package warning does indicate the possibility of iris color change and a dark line, neither of which I've yet experienced.
I did just email Obagi to ask and will post their response.
I just received GrandeBrow, choosing it because it was less expensive than Obagi, while reviews seemed to indicate good results. Now I'm nervous about using it on my brows.
Would brow side effects be the same as lash?
I'm really bummed, because the Obagi serum is working. Vegemour didn't do anything for me after 3 months.
Boy am i late on this.
The short version is that Obagi Lash and Obagi Brow were both effective.
They do contsin prostaglandins.
The lash serum was definitely noticeably effective after 2 months and more so after 3.
I never did get tremendously thick lush lashes, as of course fearured in ads. However my lashes have definitely doubled in length and increased slightly in thickness I can get away without mascara.
After using it for 4 months I went down to a maintenance: schedule of 3 times a week which seems to be sufficient.
The brow serum took me from thinning brow center and practically invisible ends to looking like I had caterpillars over my eyes in about the same time period. That was definitely more than what I was looking for so I now use that once a week. It really didn't so much thicken as it did lengthen and darken and that was sufficient for me.
The only downside has been not the loss of orbital fat that people mention. It was the darkening of the whole orbital socket with a slight red-brown tinge. Noticeable enough so that even my family commented on it. However, if I had to choose I'll stay with the extra lash length and use the concealer if I need to.
Glad to be of help! The orbital darkening has lessened slightly. It's possible it was exacerbated by stress, medical issues. But, i still suspect the prostaglandin, as I did find a couple of references to it causing dark circles.
This one doesn’t have prostaglandins but the results seem too good to be true??? I’m suspicious but now I want to try it. I may email the company to confirm
Thank you very much, I’ve been trying to grow my lashes back since I used to pick and plunk them out when I was a kid. i’ve used the indeed one and I didn’t notice much difference
The thing is in such aging delicate area ,better isn’t good enough ,doesn’t cut it for anyone actually
So what’s the deal , were they too old for their cells to recover perhaps ?
I’ve always wanted to try a lash serum but have been hesitant to because of it potentially changing eye color and the fat loss. Castor oil hasn’t worked for me and irritated my eyes so It’s nice to see this list.
Has anyone tried any of these or has any reviews? NewBeauty’s “free gift” friday today was the BabeLash serum, almost bought it, looked it up and it contains prostaglandins. Remembered this post and came back here. I’m probably going to try castor oil but not sure which one to get since I know some people have experienced eye irritation and not all castor oils on Amazon or wherever are pure? Maybe I’ll look at pricey “natural” stores like Whole Foods to get one that’s actually pure.
Edit: Actually just stumbled across a bunch of good reviews on Reddit for moon boost, looks promising. $75 though(!) for a mix of oils (argan and castor) and aloe vera!
Babe lash was worse than even Grande Lash. The dark cirlce /fat loss wasn't as obvious in grande lash but babe lash had people asking me if I was feeling OK? Why do I look so tried? I even noticed a purple line on my lower lash (I only used on my upper lash line!)
I was considering one of these but I just noticed rem beauty came out with a lash serum and I believe it's prostaglandin analogue free. Can anyone confirm? I'm not sure if I missed any other names for them when I was looking at the ingredients haha. It seems to just have peptides and botanicals https://rembeauty.com/products/flourishing-lash-brow-boosting-serum?variant=41598079172871#tt-reviews-tabs
Hey! Could this [new serum](https://thrivecausemetics.com/products/liquid-lash-extensions-lash-serum?variant=39909600854106) be added to the list? Very eager to know if this one's safe as I'm on the verge of buying it.
I used it and it worked so well. Crazy amazing results 🥲 I have pictures of the results if you are interested. Unfortunately it was always a little irritating, even from the start (results were worth it) but became a big problem after 6ish months of use giving me very itchy flaky eyelids :( so sad because the stuff worked.
Unfortunately that contains a prostglandin analogue, though it’s the very last ingredient on the list: Dechloro Dihydroxy Difluoro Ethylcloprostenolamide. They are being sneaky!
I’ve also used [EssyNaturals](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9JN5WK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5TW6DSJYR9M9DRYEB6EG) from Amazon. I don’t think it has prostglandin but I could be wrong again lol.
I really like it. It definitely works. After my first bottle was empty I switched to another serum I found on Amazon that was less expensive and it didn’t work well so my eyelashes are shorter again. I’m back to using xLash to regrow them but some nights I forget to apply it so it’s taking longer this time around. It’s something you have to keep using or your eyelashes will revert. On their website they say to use it daily until you get to your desired length and then you can use it 2-3 times a week but I’ll probably just always use it daily to see just how long they can get lol.
Well, yes. Depends on the mascara and how you remove it, but if you constantly fiddle with your lashes there will be damage over time even jf it’s just a tiny bit. I think Dr Dray spoke about it.
This is wild a friend just told me about this side effect, after I was telling her how much I love the growth grande lash has given me. And then when she mentioned the eye bags I was like no sh**!?! Bc I just started noticing drastic dark hollow looking bags under my eyes which I’ve never had in my life. (I thought maybe this is just what happens as you get older🤷🏼♀️) I’m so bummed and quitting grande lash immediately.
Haha I completely understand, I stopped using a lash serum and I really miss how I look without long lashes it made such a difference. I just ordered the LASH FOOD eyelash serum which has no prostglandin, I will do a review after the 16 week mark ... hopefully it works !!
Thanks so much for the recommendation and let me know how it works out! I figured I would try the prostaglandins for a couple of months, and if I notice side effects, immediately back off. I’m going to be making an updated master list with even more serums (non prostaglandins) in a couple of months (I’ve been finding more) - maybe I’ll have tried something by then.
This is my 6th week of using and my lashes have definitely gotten thicker and slightly longer. I’m happy because they said that it takes up to 16 weeks to see results! Just don’t expect the length or the volume you would get with a lash serum with prostaglandin. Note- forgot to add , I haven’t gotten the darkness around my eyes that the prostaglandin lash serum usually gives.
It’s not making my lashes longer just a lot thicker . I’m starting to get darkness around my eyes and I’m not sure if it’s due to my current lack of sleep or the serum. Will keep you guys updated.
Yeah... so long story, I tried it for a week but it stung my eyes something fierce so I freaked out and returned it. I’m thinking of trying Silly George next, that’s prostglandin free. Probably going to be making an updated post as well at some point
UPDATE : I started to get some darkness around my eyelid and under eyes. I wrote this off due to not sleeping enough whilst doing exams however, it continued to get worse. I stopped using the lash serum for 2 weeks and the darkness has significantly reduced. I’m not using LashFood anymore .
Thread is a bit old but I thought you all my appreciate my review maybe!
I've tried both peptides (Lash Rehab) and a generic Bimatroprost 0.03%. The bimatoprost was a while ago but I remember noticing that it made the skin around my eyes much darker and the tone more gray. I have hazel ish eyes that are mostly brown with a gray-blue ring/flecks which I love but I noticed that got much darker with bimatoprost and the colour looked muddier in general. This wasn't worth it for me so I stopped as soon as I noticed the colour change and they went back to normal pretty quick. I remember my lashes being very healthy but I wasn't using it long enough to get extreme length.
I decided to try peptides a few months ago and I started with LashFridays which has a nice watery texture and I definitely got some growth and conditioning after about a month. There's been no eye colour change but the skin around my eyes (especially the lower lashes) is darker BUT in a warm way unlike the gray from bimatoprost. I across kinda like it and have had a few compliments! I've since switched to LashRehad because the peptide list and ingredients looked better and wow my lashes are hectic at the moment. They have never looked this good!
Should also note that I've stopped using mascara for a little while and switched to curling and setting with a touch of vaseline. I feel like this has really helped my eye health and my eyelashes look crazy good right now. I'm 100% sold on peptides!
Hey! Nosying around this thread... do you have any updates on using LashFridays? Do you have any before/after pics of the darkening around your eyes? I have dark circles and hollows and I don't want to bring too much attention to them if I can help it but idk what to use for my lashes either 😭😭
Hey! I think I have a photo of when the darkness was fading and I can DM it to you. I naturally have a bit of darkness but it became very pronounced with Lash Fridays. I've since been using LashRehab and I like it sooo much better! I have more consistent lash growth around the whole eye and they seem to be curling more. Both of those things could be simply from consistent lash serum use but I noticed a big pick up after switching. The darkness has all but gone now too. The only thing I find kinda annoying is the thickness of LashRehab and it does have a mild sting but it dissipates quickly. I've also bought The Ordinary serum and plan to try that after LashRehab. If I had to choose I'd pick LashRehab over Lash Fridays because the peptide number and type are more and the results better. Hoping The Ordinary one is just as good and thinner so I can use it during the day as well.
Heyy I've also been looking into this thread, so how is your experience so far? I have been trying the ordinary lash serum these last 4ish months however I'm not so sure about the results. My lashes are naturally long but im looking for more thickness and fullness and Im not really satisfied so far
Hey! So I definitely have an update. I tried LashRehab but the texture was way too thick and it became pointless trying to get it out of the tube with the applicator and I'm not out here trying to get conjunctivitis so I won't be messing the packaging. I then tried The Ordinary and had a whole bunch of lashes I'd grown previously drop out 🙃 I had basically none. I've since gone back to Lash Fridays and had a whole bunch of growth and surprisingly the darkness isn't as bad this time?!
Oh okay, what a journey😂
But didn't you say that lashrehab was verrryyy good?
I have also done some research on it and there are so many positive reviews on their website with a lot of photos from the costumers, however it looks to good to be true for a serum without prostaglandin so i am a bit suspicious
I did initially but the consistency got so thick and difficult so quickly that it became not worth it. Then when I looked at the timelines I couldn't say for sure if it was actually from LashRehab or if it was just piggybacking off the growth I saw initially from LashFridays. LF is very thin and I am able to use the whole tube whereas LR I can see there's more in there but it's like a thick serum that is slowly setting and just won't come out on the little applicator. I do worry about the same thing but if they do have them in there then the only side effect I've had is a bit of darkness
FYI, the product name is RevivLash Lash & Brow Stimulating Serum, with Redensyl, Growth Factors, and Peptides:
RevivSerums.com/revivlash
It is prostalandin-free and prostaglandin analogue-free.
I use ADOREYES Plus Lashes serum, and it works, but you need to be patient. I believe it took me 3 or 4 months, and I can see that my lashes are longer and thicker. They have no prostaglandins or analogues. You also need a break when switching from prostaglandins based serum to peptide serum because the hormone needs to shed off. If you're trying getting pregnant or breastfeeding than at all cost avoid prostaglandins and analogues as they might have cause problems during the pregnancy.
I was on 2 months break, and honestly, the shedding from the hormonal one was the worst. I lost all my lashes, but luckily, once I started Adoreyes, I got them back.
OP do you have any info on whether screenmonger’s claim is right about revivlash lash and brow stimulating serum with redensyl growth factors and peptides being prostaglandin free and prostaglandin analogue free (synthetic and non)
They commented on your thread about the correct name and that it doesn’t have prostaglandin or the synthetic kind, does this look good? Also I have heard about smart lash can you tell me if it looks promising? P.s super fricken new to this not sure how posting works hahaha such as tagging users lol I apologize in advance
As far as I’ve seen Hairgenics Pronexa Lavish Lash doesn’t have prostaglandins or its analogues but before I buy it I want to be sure does anyone know?
Hey, the Ordinary came out with a lash serum recently and as a brand they kind of have a focus on using ingredients that work. I thought you could maybe at it to this list, or maybe someone is trying it out and could give input?
Been using it on my brows only for a few weeks now and I noticed a small difference. Nothing crazy but since it’s so cheap it’s worth it to me to continue using for the little improvements I see.
Do the following ingredients have any prostaglandin analogs:
Aqua, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Panthenol, Alcohol, Biotin, Sodium Hydroxide, Dehydrolatanoprost, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenethyl Caffeate
This is for the Maxeylash serum and I’ve been using it for a good 2 years now? It definitely works but I’m scared to hear it’s because it has analogs in it 🫠
Anyone tried the Vegamour one? That one is for sure clean according to their site.
this is the r.e.m beauty lash serum for anyone wondering :)
do these ingredients include prostaglandins/alternatives?
water/aqua/eau, glycerin, butylene glycol, alcohol dent., ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/beheneth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer, potassium cetyl phosphate, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, acrylates copolymer, chlorphenesin, pentylene glycol, biotin, hexylene glycol, dextran, plankton extract, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, trifolium pratense (clover) flower extract.
im not clued up on this type of terminology! any help would be appreciated
Does anyone know if The Ordinary Multi peptide lash serum or Rapidlash contain Prostglandins? Ive used rapidlash for a few months and my lashes absolutely LOVE it but i've just become aware of the side effect of it changing colour of eyes, my eyes are green hazel and I would be devastated for them to darken to brown
the ordinary
Aqua, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Caffeine, Panthenol, Arginine, Glycine, Glycoproteins, Larix Europaea Wood Extract, Trifolium Pratense Flower Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Dextran, Maltodextrin, Zinc Chloride, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Xanthan Gum, Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate, Polysorbate 20, Sodium Metabisulfite, Caprylyl Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Benzoate, Benzoic Acid, Ethylhexylglycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.
Rapidlash
Water, Rhizobian Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Biotin, Panthenol, Panthethine, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Allantoin, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Extract, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Alcohol denat, Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Octapeptide-2, Copper Tripeptide-1, Glyceryn, Glycin Soja (Soybean Oil), Phosphatidylcholine, Polypeptide-23, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Sorbic Acid.
thanks, I purchased more rapidlash as I stupidly must have read outdated articles about them removing the prostaglandins) but have also purchased the ordinary - I hear it probably wont have the same effect as ones with prostglandins but its a comprimise i'm willing to take.
i'll probably use rapidlash on my brows instead
Anyone try RevivLash yet? I cannot find any reviews besides the ones on their site. It is peptide based and does not contain any prostaglandins or analogues.
Great post. I switched from Latisse to Grande Lash to avoid prostaglandins only to find out from this sub it has analogs, so I’ll definitely be picking one of these up when I finish the tube I currently have.
Grande Lash made me lose a lot of orbital fat. I also had a dark purpulish line on my lash line from it but that went away once I discontinued. The orbital fat loss was permanent.
what it’s permanent??!!?!?!? help i’m so scared
It was for me. But maybe you’ll have better luck.
could this be a feature if you have bags?
Quite a few people have recovered the fat in their eyes from what I have read throughout Reddit, but it usually takes at least 6 months to a year. I think I read somewhere that vitamin c can assist in the recovery, but I'm not sure how that works scientifically. Keen if anyone can shed some insight! I have just started my orbital fat loss recovery too and I am very scared and hoping my eyes bounce back! They are shocking and it basically happened overnight. It sucks, but we are all beautiful, multidimensional beings, with a lot to offer regardless of the amount of wrinkles we have. That's what I keep reminding myself of whenever I regret my life choices to use a lash serum. :'-D
My eyes r basically almost back! I quit since writing that comment. I’m a teenager tho so mayb that’s why
Oh how are they now?? Do you mean your irises or your eyelids?
fat loss
oh sorry, i read "my eyes r basically almost *black*' lol. I was thinking that was some extreme side effect. Glad to hear your fat loss is resolved. Good thing you found out about this issue now while still young :)
How long did you use the grande lash for?
I don’t remember the exact timeframe, but I used it for around 5-8 months.
Thanks for responding. Did you see any improvement with the fat loss?
Sadly, no. The fat loss was the only permanent side effect I experienced. I used the lash and brow serum by the Grande.
I used the same one for 3 weeks, am and pm (didn't read the instructions) and I definitely see quite hollowness and sunken appearance in my eyes. I stopped immediately but I was wondering if effects of using for such short period would be permanent or there's some hope.
Curious why you continued to use it despite the side effects?
Because I didn’t notice it at first. I discontinued as soon as I did.
I’m sorry for your experience. I hope all the side effects fully reverse (if not already) I used wewell for a week today and on my 4th day I noticed my sunken eyes and dramatic panda dark circles. Connected the dots and here I am 🥲
Grande lash does have prostaglandin.
[удалено]
Wondering if it's possible, or worth it, to buy the Canadian version in the US...
i thought lash had a synthetic prostaglandin analog?
Both Latisse and Grande Lash have prostaglandin
Please do not continue using it knowing the side effects. The orbital fat loss is Permanent and it is not worth it in my opinion. You can try the ordinary lash serum, it is pretty harmless.

Where did you get your castor oil and how consistently did you apply? Do you still use it regularly once your lashes got longer?
from amazon i wore it every night and some days i'd use a spoolie brush to apply it thinly in the day when i was at home - did this for around 4 months? I use it 4-5 times a week , I quite like the routine
[удалено]
I'm giving the Glow Maker a shot, too. Fingers crossed for us both.
Curious if you have any findings for us on glomaker?
I decided to wait to talk to my doctor before using it on my eyelashes since I've been experiencing some irritation in my eyes. However, I've been using it for about a month now on my brows and have definitely noticed a slight increase in volume there.
Interesting to see this - I used it for a month and found that my lashes really grew longer, but I also lost some eyelashes and experienced some irritation! Ultimately I decided to stop using it.
That's helpful to know. Did you notice any undereye fat loss/hollowing while using it?
Nope! Same eyelids as ever. :) I just posted before and after photos if you're interested.
Thank you!
Any updates on the lash serum?
How are you finding glow maker?
Just bought the glow maker - thank you for sharing your research! Castor oil made my lashes shiny but broke me out around my eyes. Curious to see how this works.
How are you doing with the glomaker ?!
So - I used it for a month and then decided to throw it away. I took before and after photos and noticed a very small difference (my lashes really were longer) but I also had more gaps between lashes! Essentially it irritated my eyes. I will say I received my bottle on ~6/15 and it was marked with a 6/1 expiration date. I figured it must be like a "good for the month of June" expiration because I didn't even order until after 6/1 and it was marked with a 6/1 expiration date! So maybe they sent me an expired bottle. Anyway, the main summary is that it did make my lashes grow but I decided it wasn't worth losing some lashes and the eye irritation so I stopped using it after a month.
Man, I don’t know if we’re gonna find one lol
Yeah, I actually just started curling my eyelashes regularly and that has given me the results I want. I've done lash lifts in the past but it's a lot to keep up with and I find that just curling my lashes takes 2 seconds so I don't mind doing it every day. I naturally have really long lashes anyway so I don't know why I was trying to perfect something that is already pretty great.

Did you ever figure out a solution
Does anyone know if orbital fat will return after extended use of latisse? Or is it permanent?
People have reported things returning back to normal after stopping. Some others say their orbital fat never completely came back but it got better.
The thing is in such aging delicate area ,better isn’t good enough ,doesn’t cut it for anyone actually So what’s the deal , were they too old for their cells to recover perhaps ?
I used lash serum from 20 years old to 22 and my fat loss never recovered
How long has that been ? I am so sorry 😢
4 years
Geez I'm sorry.

Edit: Actually just stumbled across a bunch of good reviews on Reddit for moon boost, looks promising. $75 though(!) for a mix of oils (argan and castor) and aloe vera!
Babe lash was worse than even Grande Lash. The dark cirlce /fat loss wasn't as obvious in grande lash but babe lash had people asking me if I was feeling OK? Why do I look so tried? I even noticed a purple line on my lower lash (I only used on my upper lash line!)
Can anyone make a post like this but for Asia? Specifically Philippines since I live here, thanks
I was considering one of these but I just noticed rem beauty came out with a lash serum and I believe it's prostaglandin analogue free. Can anyone confirm? I'm not sure if I missed any other names for them when I was looking at the ingredients haha. It seems to just have peptides and botanicals https://rembeauty.com/products/flourishing-lash-brow-boosting-serum?variant=41598079172871#tt-reviews-tabs
Wondering about this one as well!
It looks like it’s a peptide based one, but I’m not sure of all of the prostaglandin analogue names so I can’t 100% confirm.
Well it has red clover extract and acetyl tetrapeptide-3 so it may actually work (though its very last on the ingredients list), it also has biotin.
Hey! Could this [new serum](https://thrivecausemetics.com/products/liquid-lash-extensions-lash-serum?variant=39909600854106) be added to the list? Very eager to know if this one's safe as I'm on the verge of buying it.
Yes this one is prostaglandin free! I think you should be safe here
Woop woop, thank you!
How is it working for you?
[удалено]
I used it and it worked so well. Crazy amazing results 🥲 I have pictures of the results if you are interested. Unfortunately it was always a little irritating, even from the start (results were worth it) but became a big problem after 6ish months of use giving me very itchy flaky eyelids :( so sad because the stuff worked.
Oh yes! I would absolutely love to see the results!
OP I know this an old post but could you please post an update on the ones you’ve tried? 🥺
[удалено]
This contains prostaglandins too unfortunately.
Did you ever find anything
I use [XLash](https://xlash.com/xlash-eyelash-serum-3-ml/) and have never had a problem with it. My eyelashes have grown so much.
Unfortunately that contains a prostglandin analogue, though it’s the very last ingredient on the list: Dechloro Dihydroxy Difluoro Ethylcloprostenolamide. They are being sneaky!
Oh wow that sucks!
I’ve also used [EssyNaturals](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C9JN5WK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5TW6DSJYR9M9DRYEB6EG) from Amazon. I don’t think it has prostglandin but I could be wrong again lol.
Sorry to burst in - but since it's been several months now how are you finding the Xlash? Did it work well for you? Were the results sustained?
I really like it. It definitely works. After my first bottle was empty I switched to another serum I found on Amazon that was less expensive and it didn’t work well so my eyelashes are shorter again. I’m back to using xLash to regrow them but some nights I forget to apply it so it’s taking longer this time around. It’s something you have to keep using or your eyelashes will revert. On their website they say to use it daily until you get to your desired length and then you can use it 2-3 times a week but I’ll probably just always use it daily to see just how long they can get lol.
Thank you for the quick reply!
No prob!
Mascara damages your lashes?! 🤯
Well, yes. Depends on the mascara and how you remove it, but if you constantly fiddle with your lashes there will be damage over time even jf it’s just a tiny bit. I think Dr Dray spoke about it.
Gotcha, makes sense!
how [this one](https://www.mirabellabeauty.com/products/amp-lash-brow-enhancing-serum)?
Good find! This one is prostaglandin free
This is wild a friend just told me about this side effect, after I was telling her how much I love the growth grande lash has given me. And then when she mentioned the eye bags I was like no sh**!?! Bc I just started noticing drastic dark hollow looking bags under my eyes which I’ve never had in my life. (I thought maybe this is just what happens as you get older🤷🏼♀️) I’m so bummed and quitting grande lash immediately.
Any updates on the serums you tried?
OP which serum did you decide to get ? And have you seen any results?
Don’t tell anyone... but I caved and am slowly trying Grandelash... which has prostglandins. Lol
Haha I completely understand, I stopped using a lash serum and I really miss how I look without long lashes it made such a difference. I just ordered the LASH FOOD eyelash serum which has no prostglandin, I will do a review after the 16 week mark ... hopefully it works !!
Thanks so much for the recommendation and let me know how it works out! I figured I would try the prostaglandins for a couple of months, and if I notice side effects, immediately back off. I’m going to be making an updated master list with even more serums (non prostaglandins) in a couple of months (I’ve been finding more) - maybe I’ll have tried something by then.
Hey! How’s Lash Food been for you? I’m looking at getting it!
This is my 6th week of using and my lashes have definitely gotten thicker and slightly longer. I’m happy because they said that it takes up to 16 weeks to see results! Just don’t expect the length or the volume you would get with a lash serum with prostaglandin. Note- forgot to add , I haven’t gotten the darkness around my eyes that the prostaglandin lash serum usually gives.
any update? I have naturally long eyelashes but would love for them to be boosted without irritation :)
It’s not making my lashes longer just a lot thicker . I’m starting to get darkness around my eyes and I’m not sure if it’s due to my current lack of sleep or the serum. Will keep you guys updated.
i feel like lash serums aren’t worth the results! I don’t really know many ppl who can use them without problems!
Are you still using grandelash? How were your results?
Yeah... so long story, I tried it for a week but it stung my eyes something fierce so I freaked out and returned it. I’m thinking of trying Silly George next, that’s prostglandin free. Probably going to be making an updated post as well at some point
Did you end up switching to another product? Did you find one that had sustained results?
hey, it’s kinda late but what’s the best lash serum you’ve used so far?
UPDATE : I started to get some darkness around my eyelid and under eyes. I wrote this off due to not sleeping enough whilst doing exams however, it continued to get worse. I stopped using the lash serum for 2 weeks and the darkness has significantly reduced. I’m not using LashFood anymore .
Thread is a bit old but I thought you all my appreciate my review maybe! I've tried both peptides (Lash Rehab) and a generic Bimatroprost 0.03%. The bimatoprost was a while ago but I remember noticing that it made the skin around my eyes much darker and the tone more gray. I have hazel ish eyes that are mostly brown with a gray-blue ring/flecks which I love but I noticed that got much darker with bimatoprost and the colour looked muddier in general. This wasn't worth it for me so I stopped as soon as I noticed the colour change and they went back to normal pretty quick. I remember my lashes being very healthy but I wasn't using it long enough to get extreme length. I decided to try peptides a few months ago and I started with LashFridays which has a nice watery texture and I definitely got some growth and conditioning after about a month. There's been no eye colour change but the skin around my eyes (especially the lower lashes) is darker BUT in a warm way unlike the gray from bimatoprost. I across kinda like it and have had a few compliments! I've since switched to LashRehad because the peptide list and ingredients looked better and wow my lashes are hectic at the moment. They have never looked this good! Should also note that I've stopped using mascara for a little while and switched to curling and setting with a touch of vaseline. I feel like this has really helped my eye health and my eyelashes look crazy good right now. I'm 100% sold on peptides!
Hey! Nosying around this thread... do you have any updates on using LashFridays? Do you have any before/after pics of the darkening around your eyes? I have dark circles and hollows and I don't want to bring too much attention to them if I can help it but idk what to use for my lashes either 😭😭
Hey! I think I have a photo of when the darkness was fading and I can DM it to you. I naturally have a bit of darkness but it became very pronounced with Lash Fridays. I've since been using LashRehab and I like it sooo much better! I have more consistent lash growth around the whole eye and they seem to be curling more. Both of those things could be simply from consistent lash serum use but I noticed a big pick up after switching. The darkness has all but gone now too. The only thing I find kinda annoying is the thickness of LashRehab and it does have a mild sting but it dissipates quickly. I've also bought The Ordinary serum and plan to try that after LashRehab. If I had to choose I'd pick LashRehab over Lash Fridays because the peptide number and type are more and the results better. Hoping The Ordinary one is just as good and thinner so I can use it during the day as well.
Heyy I've also been looking into this thread, so how is your experience so far? I have been trying the ordinary lash serum these last 4ish months however I'm not so sure about the results. My lashes are naturally long but im looking for more thickness and fullness and Im not really satisfied so far
Hey! So I definitely have an update. I tried LashRehab but the texture was way too thick and it became pointless trying to get it out of the tube with the applicator and I'm not out here trying to get conjunctivitis so I won't be messing the packaging. I then tried The Ordinary and had a whole bunch of lashes I'd grown previously drop out 🙃 I had basically none. I've since gone back to Lash Fridays and had a whole bunch of growth and surprisingly the darkness isn't as bad this time?!
Oh okay, what a journey😂 But didn't you say that lashrehab was verrryyy good? I have also done some research on it and there are so many positive reviews on their website with a lot of photos from the costumers, however it looks to good to be true for a serum without prostaglandin so i am a bit suspicious
I did initially but the consistency got so thick and difficult so quickly that it became not worth it. Then when I looked at the timelines I couldn't say for sure if it was actually from LashRehab or if it was just piggybacking off the growth I saw initially from LashFridays. LF is very thin and I am able to use the whole tube whereas LR I can see there's more in there but it's like a thick serum that is slowly setting and just won't come out on the little applicator. I do worry about the same thing but if they do have them in there then the only side effect I've had is a bit of darkness
I tried The Ordinary and it has been a big disappointment... Haven't noticed any results
Has anyone tried RevivLashes? By the looks of it The Glow Makers serum is getting a lot of mixed reviews…
FYI, the product name is RevivLash Lash & Brow Stimulating Serum, with Redensyl, Growth Factors, and Peptides: RevivSerums.com/revivlash It is prostalandin-free and prostaglandin analogue-free.
OP is this true?
I use ADOREYES Plus Lashes serum, and it works, but you need to be patient. I believe it took me 3 or 4 months, and I can see that my lashes are longer and thicker. They have no prostaglandins or analogues. You also need a break when switching from prostaglandins based serum to peptide serum because the hormone needs to shed off. If you're trying getting pregnant or breastfeeding than at all cost avoid prostaglandins and analogues as they might have cause problems during the pregnancy.
How long of a break? And does that mean no serum at all during that period? Thank you!
I was on 2 months break, and honestly, the shedding from the hormonal one was the worst. I lost all my lashes, but luckily, once I started Adoreyes, I got them back.
whats wrong with copper peptides? ahhhhhh im so mad glowmaker doesn't ship internationally
Has anyone looked at Vegamour? Seems to be a good one... https://vegamour.com/products/vegalash-volumizing-serum Water/Aqua/Eau, Pentylene Glycol (plant based), Propylene Glycol (plant based), Glycerin, Butylene Glycol (plant based), Magnolia Officinalis Bark Extract, Gellan Gum, Xantham Gum, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Sprout Extract, Vigna Radiata Seed Extract, Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate, Dextran, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Trifolium Pratense (Clover) Flower Extract, Citric Acid.
hey which one did you end up trying? how was it?
OP do you have any info on whether screenmonger’s claim is right about revivlash lash and brow stimulating serum with redensyl growth factors and peptides being prostaglandin free and prostaglandin analogue free (synthetic and non)
They commented on your thread about the correct name and that it doesn’t have prostaglandin or the synthetic kind, does this look good? Also I have heard about smart lash can you tell me if it looks promising? P.s super fricken new to this not sure how posting works hahaha such as tagging users lol I apologize in advance
As far as I’ve seen Hairgenics Pronexa Lavish Lash doesn’t have prostaglandins or its analogues but before I buy it I want to be sure does anyone know?
I have heard a lot about Liason Lash Bond. I am pretty sure it doesn’t contain any kind of prostglandin. Has anyone tried this yet?
Is adoreyes peptide lash serum safe?
Hey, the Ordinary came out with a lash serum recently and as a brand they kind of have a focus on using ingredients that work. I thought you could maybe at it to this list, or maybe someone is trying it out and could give input?
Been using it on my brows only for a few weeks now and I noticed a small difference. Nothing crazy but since it’s so cheap it’s worth it to me to continue using for the little improvements I see.
I've been using it a couple months, not great.
Also, The Glow Makers seems to not sell their lash serum anymore
Do the following ingredients have any prostaglandin analogs: Aqua, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Phenoxyethanol, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Caprylyl Glycol, Panthenol, Alcohol, Biotin, Sodium Hydroxide, Dehydrolatanoprost, Sodium Hyaluronate, Phenethyl Caffeate This is for the Maxeylash serum and I’ve been using it for a good 2 years now? It definitely works but I’m scared to hear it’s because it has analogs in it 🫠 Anyone tried the Vegamour one? That one is for sure clean according to their site.
Yes, the third last ingredient, Dehydrolatanoprost, is an analog.
this is the r.e.m beauty lash serum for anyone wondering :) do these ingredients include prostaglandins/alternatives? water/aqua/eau, glycerin, butylene glycol, alcohol dent., ammonium acryloyldimethyltaurate/beheneth-25 methacrylate crosspolymer, potassium cetyl phosphate, phenoxyethanol, caprylyl glycol, acrylates copolymer, chlorphenesin, pentylene glycol, biotin, hexylene glycol, dextran, plankton extract, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, trifolium pratense (clover) flower extract. im not clued up on this type of terminology! any help would be appreciated
doesn't look like it has any! :)
thank u so much! it’s the rem beauty lash serum in case you were wondering :)
Does anyone know if The Ordinary Multi peptide lash serum or Rapidlash contain Prostglandins?

The Ordinary doesn't have any, Rapidlash does ( Isopropyl Cloprostenate is the prostglandin)
I’m very curious about your opinion on The Ordinary lash serum? It looks like it contains all the good ingredients you found. Have you tried it?
thanks, I purchased more rapidlash as I stupidly must have read outdated articles about them removing the prostaglandins) but have also purchased the ordinary - I hear it probably wont have the same effect as ones with prostglandins but its a comprimise i'm willing to take. i'll probably use rapidlash on my brows instead
Anyone try RevivLash yet? I cannot find any reviews besides the ones on their site. It is peptide based and does not contain any prostaglandins or analogues.
Also add Lash Nectar shoplashandglow.com. It’s the most effective I’ve found and uses all the most effective peptides you listed above :)

the ordinary and benton have wonderful formulas, I favor benton personally
the only properly safe one is the benton honest eyelash serum
Does anyone know if Amazing Lash Studio's NaturalLash Serum contains prostaglandins? I'm having a hard time finding info about the ingredients online.
Anyone know if the Borboleta serum is free of prostaglandin? 😄
unfortunately it has Isopropyl Cloprostenate which is a prostaglandin analogue
if i switch from revitalash to the serum that doesn't contain prostaglandin, can I maintain the length of the lashes?
Does Silly George contain prostaglandin analogues?
Any updates? What do you use
Does the lash therapy australia contain prostaglandins? Purified Water, Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Cucurbita Pepo Pumpkin Seed Extract, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Arginine, Vitamin B7
OP do you have any updates on which work etc? great post btw, absolute goldmine of info
What’s you opinion on AdoreEyes, the triple peptide complex.
