I used Latisse years ago and I don’t remember the results. But my lashes are definitely not thick and long. My optometrist wanted to test me for abnormal intraocular pressure of my eyes. I do have permanent muddy sclera of my iris. I wear false lashes to enhance my eyes now.
I was using a serum with isopropyl cloprostenate and it caused periorbital fat atrophy. Luckily as soon as I realized it I stopped using the serum (I had been using it for 1 year and a half and until the last 3 months of use I did not notice that this was happening to me). Now it has been 6 months since I stopped using the serum and my eyes look like before, so for me luckily it was reversible.
This is the most educational video I have come across explaining the side effects of lash serums. That is why I don't use them. I'm wondering how these cosmetic companies are able to sell them though if they have this ingredient in them? Do you think they will be taken off the market?
Yeah I wonder once more and more people start getting fat atrophy if they will remove them from the market? I loved the way my lashes looked, but I don't need more problems under my eyes!
I used GrandeLash 5 years ago and it seemed to be effective but one thing I noticed after a couple months that around 15 minutes after application my eyes started to have mild burning sensation that would trigger tears. I would have to wipe my tears with tissue. It was reoccurring so I just stopped using it. I don't know why that started happening because I was fine for the first couple of months. I did not have an allergic reaction with eye swelling, redness or itching. This video was helpful information.
I just noticed you're from Hawaii from your uniform. I've been using an over the counter lash serum. It definitely made my lashes longer and fuller but after watching your video i'm not going to be using the serum anymore. I don't want to be taking any chances. Thank you so much for the info!
Hey Coco! Yes, I am in Hawaii! I am so glad you enjoyed the video. I will link the video of my top 4 natural lash serums: ua-cam.com/video/9ehrWmpxQZQ/v-deo.html
Most definitely an individual choice and I know lots of people without side effects or complications, but just want to educate on here so people can make an informed decision
Yes please don’t get them I got the grande lash serum and it gave me a chemical bad reaction to my own how to go to the optometrist and they God he saved my eyes
I use Realash since years. No sideeffects. Now I saw the video of Dr. Rajani that these Lash Serums can really older the eye area. Now I stopped it. But I miss my beautiful long lashes.
You should do a video about the less risky ways to make grow your lashes. I want to try grande lash but i have green eyes and don't want the risk to them chance the colour.
Same I wished I had green eyes but I have dark brown eyes so I don’t want them to be black lol plus the most important is that you get a black eyelid. And it’s IRREVERSIBLE.
I am SO glad I found your video!! I JUST started using the Grande lash about a week and a half ago. I was already noticing great changes in my previously nonexistent lashes but I was just putting on my some moisturizer and sunscreen and saw my undereyes suddenly looked almost a violet black!! I have an issue with dark circles anyway and I already have the deep tear troughs. I just noticed those a couple years ago after I turned 65. I was just devastated with the deep rings and have been trying concealers, creams, retinol and have just learned to get good at covering it,. BUT now with the darkening of the skin all around my eye I was freaking out!! I stopped immediately! Hopefully the darkness will go away soon and SADLY I will not be using the lash serum anymore. I am really sad because it was WORKING and I already had growth and thickening of my lashes. I guess I will go back to false lashes. I hate them but at least they wont make me look like I have 2 black eyes or get even more sunken looking.
Darn I loved my Grande Lash but I never knew about the side effects so I didn't put it togther - the hollowing of the eyes is maybe the worst thing you could do to yourself glad I know!
That's exactly what happened with me with LashBoost (mine was reversible, so I hope yours is too!). I know, I loved the results I was getting from my serum, but just not worth it.
Thanks a lot for all the information. I'm just doing a little research before deciding on buying a lash serum. What about prostaglandin free serums? I've found some such as UkLash or NYK1 that don't contain any prostaglandin derivates (just vitamins and/or peptides) and apparently have nice results. I guess those would be a good altervative to avoid long term risks, wouldn't they?
I’ve been using UK Lash for almost 2 months and I’m seeing growth and lash thickening. No side effects that I’m aware of. I don’t plan on using it permanently.
Thank You for creating & sharing this, Dr. Rupa Wong ✨ I don’t consider the helpful information a board certified ophthalmologist shares to be ‘fear mongering’ You have provided a valuable service ☮️
My eye has been red and burning for the past two hours in the middle of the night. The OTC serum leaked into my eye but I thought they wouldn’t sell something that would irritate or damage people’s eyes.
Hi @Taylor Hattley ! Have you experienced any side effects with Inika, even though it’s organic? I actually bought a tube yesterday but am trying to research as much as possible before testing it 😅
Fabulous share Dr. Rupa ...thank you always for your insight and time taken. Very appreciated is that your videos are longer than 5 minutes, but under 20.
Ok, so what no one has mentioned in any of these lash serum videos is Revitalash and more specifically, “Does Revitalash cause all of the problems mentioned?”. This is the serum that started it all for me, and the results were incredible. However, it also happens to be the most expensive; therefore, I switched to lesser expensive serums, where the ingredients seemed to be similar, but not exact. Is it more expensive because it is the safer option? Again, the results were so unbelievable that I had friends running in droves to buy them online after seeing my lashes unusually long, bordering on looking quite fake.
She did say that other popular brands use the same active ingredient (prostaglandin), judging by what google says that includes Revitalash. "RevitaLash-as well as MD Lash Factor, Enormous Lash, and Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die For-contains a prostaglandin-like compound (prostaglandins are naturally occurring chemicals in the body). This ingredient is similar to one used in glaucoma drugs." Consumer reports for Revitalash include side effects like Dr. Rupa Wong described. "Reported RevitaLash Side Effects These include eye irritation, swelling, or redness, along with some other things to consider, such as darkened skin around the eye area or weak, stiff eyelashes. A small percentage of users have reported change in eye color, or even blurred vision." Im not an MD so dont take my word for it but my best guess is that more expensive is not better, its still the same active ingredient doing the work. I doubt paying more will grant you more safety. Another MD, Dr. Dray on UA-cam, said that the side effects are inevitable and its a "sooner or later they will happen" thing, not "some get side effects some dont" so be careful and keep an eye on... well, your eye lol Hope that helps!
I used mine for 3 weeks and after the second week it started to burn/itch and I definitely noticed a black stripe/ bump on my eyelid I stopped completely using it for 3 days and it almost completely fade away. I threw that shit out because all of these side effects especially with the issue of your eye color getting darker ( I already have dark brown eyes so I don’t need black eyes) and the eyelid turning dark around the eye. Ladies be careful maybe not everyone will experience the same things but I stopped after 3 weeks even though I should’ve stopped sooner.
Hello Dr. Rupa Wong! Thank you so much for all the educational videos over the years! Since you had mentioned ocular fat atrophy in this video, I'd love to learn from a medical professional side. What is your take on under eye bag fillers?
I feel my vision got affected after Latisse but i also crossed over to my 40s when I started using .. I just got a new one today I'm gonna reuse it but I won't drench the brush
Thank you, Dr. Rupa, for all your videos! Very informative. I've been using the Bimatoprost and had great results with my lashes. Although I did have some side effects. So is there any safe Lash serum out there that I can use? Thank you!
After watching your video, it changed my mind to not use Latisse but now I am stuck with a brand new bottle of it that just arrived. What’s bad is that I cannot return it because it is a prescribed product. So I wonder if I could use it on my eyebrows or anywhere else that is not my eyes area? Hope you could answers this. Thank you very much for a beautiful explanation. I never want my eyes to feel harm this way.
Hi Dr.Rupa! Thank you for the helpful & informative video! Could you please do a video reviewing the DIME lash serum. It claims to be natural and free of prostaglandin analogs. Seems too good to be true to me. Would love to hear your take on it and what you have to say. Thank you!!
Late to this party. But I was got a sample of a lash serum in a beauty box recently and used it last night. Today I saw an optician as my eyes were burning and red. It appears to have given me minor abrasions to my corneas due to dryness. So the sample got chucked in the bin immediately!
Hi Dr I'm currently using UKLash syrum.. I've got dark line where I've been applying it.. Allso I've been getting at least 4 really bad headaches a week & felling eye pain allong with headaches.. Not sleeping very well.. Is this alarm bell warnings.. Please let me know!???
Hi! I was using obagi lash serum for 6 months and actually wasn’t using it consistently but it was working with my lashes growing, but recently had a reaction where my lashes were shedding a lot, my eyelid were red,itchy, inflammation, dry, had to go to 4 different doctors and still don’t know exactly why it happened but stopped using for about 2 months now and still waiting for my lashes to fully grow back 😩 I almost wish the medical spa I go to didn’t sell it, I think to many risks and side effects to close to the eyes.
Hello Dr. What about castor oil? Is it safe? They sell it in Pharmacies and Department stores like Walmart. I'm trying to find the safest way to improve my eyelashes growing since Im 46 yrs old and I've noticing they are not as full as years before. Thank you
Hi Dr. Rupa, may I ask what you are using on your lashes instead of these serums? Back to extensions? Looking for alternatives to prostaglandins, thanks!
@@DrRupaWong the product works well! It took some time and consistency to see results and I have been slacking using it everyday, but even with that I have still been able to see some results. My eye area has not gotten any darker since I’ve been using it.
I think the lash serum I used has given me two very small styes or bumps on the lining of my eyelashes on one of my eyes. I stopped using it because my eyelid turned red and my under eye got puffy. How do i get this to go away?
Loved your video! And what about Lipocils Talika? It does not have the substances that you mentioned, but oils and another ones that I don’t know if they also cause side effects. Could you help me ? I’ll stop using it, just bought it, but if it causes any damage to my eyes, I prefer to stop using it.
Thanks for posting great info. I hear all the time, “Well they wouldn’t see it if it wasn’t safe. What are your thoughts on this product from Clinique? It does not contain the the active ingredient you were talking about.(sorry I can’t spell it) NEW High Impact™ Lash Amplifying Serum
Hey Jennifer, you're right, just because it is sold does not mean it is safe. I will add the Clinique product to my video suggestions list. Thank you! :)
I don't know if you're still commenting on your lashify video so I'm posting this here. What was your experience like sleeping in the lashify lashes? I tried the Kiss Falscara version, LOVED IT, but had problems sleeping. I woke up in the middle of the night and removed them.
Hi, i have used it about 6 years. And now i have realized that this caused my undereyes. I have now deep undereyes. Will it go away after stop using it?
The cosmetics business are so smart, and we are so damn. They first make us believe that fake lash make you look better and yes, lots of woman feel better with fake lash, with out considering all the harm it was causing your natural lash. Now they have a serum which I am sure is not cheap for your natural eyelashes because you have no natural lash from using all that fake stuff that have chemicals. This is a business society and we fall into like sheep’s.
Hi Dr. Rupa - what is your opinion on Hubble Contacts? My old ophthalmologist refused to write me an Rx for this. When I switched to a new one they had no issues with me using them. Is there something wrong with them? Do you not suggesting using these for daily wear? Daily contacts are so expensive.
Ive been using grandelash and ive seen amazing progress a lot of people have been complimenting my eyelashes and i dont even wear mascara atm cause how long they are but i noticed some redness and bags but i dont mind just for a bit and i will start using them less but not forever and the bags go away in like 3 days so i dont mind
Wow thank you so much for the education on isopropyl chloprostenate. I just found it on the ingredient list for Rapid Lash. I think I will have stop using it. Thanks.
Thank you for this information, Dr. Wong. Can you tell me, do you think these serums are far enough away from the eyes to be used for brow growth only?
Dr. Mahalo! Yes :) thanks for your video. I wanted ask you something. I have been using Forchics (eyelash and brow serum) for almost two months and my eyebrows look fuller but I developed an irritation on my eyes (swollen, red, dryer, discharge) so I wonder if I can stop the eyelash serum but still continue the eyebrow serum? Does eyebrow serum still affect the eyes? Or eyebrow doesn’t interfere with eyes? Thanks so much 🙏🏻

Thank you again for any and all time helping if at all possible. {I 'do' have eye issues btw, and have had zero side affects & def. helped with lash length, conditioning, & regrowth factor is amazing, but it does nothing for increased 'volume' of lashes and does nothing for my brow area} Thank you again.

I have been using the ordinary lash serum and it makes my left eye get all irritated and makes my eye look like it has pink eye im pretty sure its the lash serum what does it mean?
It seems to have given me dry eyes. My eyes water nonstop and drops don't help. I will stop the serums now but my question is will the watery eyes get better since I'm stopping?
Hi Dr Rupa! I want to try latise , I’m currently dealing w mild graves eye disease , my thyroid hormones have normalised now but there’s still some inflamed orbital tissues near my eyes. do you think I the fat atrophy/sunken eye effect of these serums may help reduce the swelling of my eye tissues?
What do you do once you accidentally put serum on your eyeball. I just wanna know THAT part because my eye is Red AF! Sorry for my French but I'm panicking right now. I dont care about the effects I care about what to do when the effect is happening.
Hi dr Rupa. Do you know percentage wise how many people are affected by this . I stopped using mine out of fear and now my lashes are back to nothing . 😿
Hi ive been using uklash which has a prostaglandin in. How do i spot the signs of orbital fat loss? Ive been using it for 5 months now i love my long lashes but scared of getting the sunken eye effect thanks x
Do you think Castor oil or even shea butter rubbed near the lashline is safe. I use shea butter as a eye cream and body cream and was wondering if it would be safe to put some on my eyelashes
How do we know the fat atrophy is non-reversible? Mine looks horrible after using it for years and now I realize why. I am really hoping its partly reversible and just would like to know data supporting the fact that it is permanent
@@orso2983 oh no! Sorry to hear that.. I had to go for foods rich in protein and fat to help get my eyes back to looking bright again, although I think I might need to do some fat grafting under the eyes to get it back to how it was originally...
I’ve had drier eyes darkening of the skin around them. It was almost comical how quickly these issues disappeared as soon as I stopped using the serum.
Thank you for your video. I need help and counsel. I used a serum just 1 time and that was enough to not want to use it again. My eyes were very red and irritated the next few days. Now I have very dry eyes. It's been about 5 days since I last used serum. Will my dry eyes recover from using the serum only 1 time? Thank you.
I’m here because I start feel discomfort. Thank you I’ll visit the eye doctor 👌🏻
I'm glad this helped! Let me know how your visit goes.
I used Latisse years ago and I don’t remember the results. But my lashes are definitely not thick and long. My optometrist wanted to test me for abnormal intraocular pressure of my eyes. I do have permanent muddy sclera of my iris. I wear false lashes to enhance my eyes now.
Lately I've been loving OpulenceMD lashes - they're magnetic created by an ophthalmologist Dr. Anika Goodwin (she was on Shark Tank!)
I was using a serum with isopropyl cloprostenate and it caused periorbital fat atrophy. Luckily as soon as I realized it I stopped using the serum (I had been using it for 1 year and a half and until the last 3 months of use I did not notice that this was happening to me). Now it has been 6 months since I stopped using the serum and my eyes look like before, so for me luckily it was reversible.
So helpful & thorough! I am very pleased with this presentation of valuable information and the generosity of the doctor in explaining it so well.
This is the most educational video I have come across explaining the side effects of lash serums. That is why I don't use them. I'm wondering how these cosmetic companies are able to sell them though if they have this ingredient in them? Do you think they will be taken off the market?

Hey Consu! Here is the video on the ordinary serum! ua-cam.com/video/cGIkskWfMuI/v-deo.html
@@DrRupaWong thankss!!
Great video Doctor, can you do a video on putting Jamaican black castor oil on your eyelashes? I've seen it trending on UA-cam.
Thank you for the informatiom. I will stop using it. What do you recommend for eyelashes to grow?
Hey, glad to help! I have a video on this. You can watch it with this link: ua-cam.com/video/9ehrWmpxQZQ/v-deo.html
Hi! I was using obagi lash serum for 6 months and actually wasn’t using it consistently but it was working with my lashes growing, but recently had a reaction where my lashes were shedding a lot, my eyelid were red,itchy, inflammation, dry, had to go to 4 different doctors and still don’t know exactly why it happened but stopped using for about 2 months now and still waiting for my lashes to fully grow back 😩 I almost wish the medical spa I go to didn’t sell it, I think to many risks and side effects to close to the eyes.
Hello Dr. What about castor oil? Is it safe? They sell it in Pharmacies and Department stores like Walmart. I'm trying to find the safest way to improve my eyelashes growing since Im 46 yrs old and I've noticing they are not as full as years before. Thank you
Been using Latttisse for years. Been noticing fat loss atrophy despite tear troph filler. . If I stop using it it will remain?
Good that i watched this video before buying. But can i use it once in a while?. Not everyday and not often.
Hi Dr. Rupa, may I ask what you are using on your lashes instead of these serums? Back to extensions? Looking for alternatives to prostaglandins, thanks!
I've been using magnetic lashes and Lashify lashes (I remove them every 2 days and do a good lash wash)
Do you know if the vegamour lash serum is safe ?
Hey Maryanne! I talk about vegamour in this video - ua-cam.com/video/9ehrWmpxQZQ/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching!
What about rapid lashes please Dr? Could you give us some information about the side effects please ?
Hi Dr Wong,
I’ve started using scorolash. They said that their products do not contain prostaglandins. Do you know about this brand?
I will work on a video about this brand! Thanks for the suggestion! What do you think of the product?
@@DrRupaWong the product works well! It took some time and consistency to see results and I have been slacking using it everyday, but even with that I have still been able to see some results. My eye area has not gotten any darker since I’ve been using it.
@@Pancakeninjah Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
I’m thinking of buying Omnilux face LED light therapy. Is this safe for eyes?
I will definitely gonna stop using but can I get something that help me for my eyes get better
Oh good grief no lashes are worth hollow eye socket wow!
So my question is Say if I use the serum, and my eye sockets have sunken… if I stop using the serum will it be reversed?
Thanks doctor. Do the eyebrow serums have similar side- effects? If I discontinue the use of my eyebrow serum, my eyebrows are likely to fall out?
Yes pleaas we need your help at this one
thank you for educate us Dr. Wong.
I'm so glad to share! Thank you.
I use argan oil with an eyeliner brush with great results. Have you done any research with argan oil?
That's a great one to do! Adding it to my list
So would it just be better to not use any serums?
Which doctor should I go to to start a lash growth serum? My ophthalmologist or dermatologist?
Ophthalmologist. They'll be the one to monitor for side effects like cystoid macular edema, changes in intraocular pressure, etc.
@@DrRupaWong thank you! I have keratoconus so I have a feeling my doc won’t recommend putting anything on or around my eyes. Gonna ask anyway!
I think the lash serum I used has given me two very small styes or bumps on the lining of my eyelashes on one of my eyes. I stopped using it because my eyelid turned red and my under eye got puffy. How do i get this to go away?
Good thing I watched this before checking out on my Sephora order. 😂
Thank you for this great information. Very informative.
Loved your video! And what about Lipocils Talika? It does not have the substances that you mentioned, but oils and another ones that I don’t know if they also cause side effects.
Could you help me ? I’ll stop using it, just bought it, but if it causes any damage to my eyes, I prefer to stop using it.
Thanks for posting great info. I hear all the time, “Well they wouldn’t see it if it wasn’t safe. What are your thoughts on this product from Clinique? It does not contain the the active ingredient you were talking about.(sorry I can’t spell it) NEW High Impact™ Lash Amplifying Serum
Hey Jennifer, you're right, just because it is sold does not mean it is safe. I will add the Clinique product to my video suggestions list. Thank you! :)
@Dr. Rupa Wong I’ve used revitalash and was looking at the ingredients it does not contain isopropyl cloprostenate
I don't know if you're still commenting on your lashify video so I'm posting this here. What was your experience like sleeping in the lashify lashes? I tried the Kiss Falscara version, LOVED IT, but had problems sleeping. I woke up in the middle of the night and removed them.
Hi, i have used it about 6 years. And now i have realized that this caused my undereyes. I have now deep undereyes. Will it go away after stop using it?
I dont even have fat around my eyes got nothing to lose
What about eye brow serums that have the same active ingredient?
The cosmetics business are so smart, and we are so damn. They first make us believe that fake lash make you look better and yes, lots of woman feel better with fake lash, with out considering all the harm it was causing your natural lash. Now they have a serum which I am sure is not cheap for your natural eyelashes because you have no natural lash from using all that fake stuff that have chemicals. This is a business society and we fall into like sheep’s.
I appreciate this! I just cancelled my order!
Hi Dr. Rupa - what is your opinion on Hubble Contacts? My old ophthalmologist refused to write me an Rx for this. When I switched to a new one they had no issues with me using them. Is there something wrong with them? Do you not suggesting using these for daily wear? Daily contacts are so expensive.
Ive been using grandelash and ive seen amazing progress a lot of people have been complimenting my eyelashes and i dont even wear mascara atm cause how long they are but i noticed some redness and bags but i dont mind just for a bit and i will start using them less but not forever and the bags go away in like 3 days so i dont mind
"Likely to be possible". Hmmmm.
Wow thank you so much for the education on isopropyl chloprostenate. I just found it on the ingredient list for Rapid Lash. I think I will have stop using it. Thanks.
Thank you for this information, Dr. Wong. Can you tell me, do you think these serums are far enough away from the eyes to be used for brow growth only?
Dr. Mahalo! Yes :) thanks for your video. I wanted ask you something. I have been using Forchics (eyelash and brow serum) for almost two months and my eyebrows look fuller but I developed an irritation on my eyes (swollen, red, dryer, discharge) so I wonder if I can stop the eyelash serum but still continue the eyebrow serum? Does eyebrow serum still affect the eyes? Or eyebrow doesn’t interfere with eyes? Thanks so much 🙏🏻
is polymacon contacts bad for your eyes?
Is the orbital fat loss reported with Latisse or the glaucoma medication that goes INTO the eye?? I feel like where you apply it matters, no?
Would you say Milk’s eyelash serum is okay to use?
What about medical lash serums?
Here is a video I have done where I discuss lash serums including the only FDA approved serum, Latisse. ua-cam.com/video/dP-Ftd8_LTE/v-deo.html
Let me know in the comments what you think!
Hi Dr. Rupa.... query if possible. I've been using Cover Girl Lash/Brow Blast Serum for 5 months {loyally}. Curious
if you believe that the active ingredient in this recent video, possibly appears in the ingredient list as . .
'another' name. I do not see the mentioning of such descriptor in this list.
Thank you again for any and all time helping if at all possible. {I 'do' have eye issues btw, and have had zero
side affects & def. helped with lash length, conditioning, & regrowth factor is amazing, but it does nothing for increased 'volume' of lashes and does nothing for my brow area} Thank you again.

Which doctor should I ask for this prescription with? My ophthalmologist, or my primary care doctor? Or does it matter?
Update: I got my prescription from my primary doctor no problem. But I’m going to let my ophthalmologist know just so she can make sure I’m not having any adverse effects 😊
Hi Dr. Rupa Wong, can you please review Vegamour lash serum. Thank you!
Hey Tina! Sorry for the late response. I talk about vegamour in this video - ua-cam.com/video/9ehrWmpxQZQ/v-deo.html
Let me know what you think in the comments. I hope this helps!
I have been using the ordinary lash serum and it makes my left eye get all irritated and makes my eye look like it has pink eye im pretty sure its the lash serum what does it mean?
If it is bothering your eyes, I would discontinue use.
ok thank you I will stop using it but it works for my eyebrows
Have you tried Uklash serum?
It seems to have given me dry eyes. My eyes water nonstop and drops don't help. I will stop the serums now but my question is will the watery eyes get better since I'm stopping?
Hi Dr Rupa! I want to try latise , I’m currently dealing w mild graves eye disease , my thyroid hormones have normalised now but there’s still some inflamed orbital tissues near my eyes. do you think I the fat atrophy/sunken eye effect of these serums may help reduce the swelling of my eye tissues?
What do you do once you accidentally put serum on your eyeball. I just wanna know THAT part because my eye is Red AF! Sorry for my French but I'm panicking right now. I dont care about the effects I care about what to do when the effect is happening.
I wanna know too😭
Hi dr Rupa. Do you know percentage wise how many people are affected by this . I stopped using mine out of fear and now my lashes are back to nothing . 😿
Hi ive been using uklash which has a prostaglandin in. How do i spot the signs of orbital fat loss? Ive been using it for 5 months now i love my long lashes but scared of getting the sunken eye effect thanks x
Do you think Castor oil or even shea butter rubbed near the lashline is safe. I use shea butter as a eye cream and body cream and was wondering if it would be safe to put some on my eyelashes
How do we know the fat atrophy is non-reversible? Mine looks horrible after using it for years and now I realize why. I am really hoping its partly reversible and just would like to know data supporting the fact that it is permanent
I think it can be fully reversible with proper diet and discontinuation of product
@@Peckz1949 what kind of diet please? I lost periorbital fat because of Rapidlash...
@@orso2983 oh no! Sorry to hear that..
I had to go for foods rich in protein and fat to help get my eyes back to looking bright again, although I think I might need to do some fat grafting under the eyes to get it back to how it was originally...
I’ve had drier eyes darkening of the skin around them.
It was almost comical how quickly these issues disappeared as soon as I stopped using the serum.
So interesting! Thank you for sharing. Do you remember which serum you were using?
Did you use grande lash?
Thank you for your video. I need help and counsel. I used a serum just 1 time and that was enough to not want to use it again. My eyes were very red and irritated the next few days. Now I have very dry eyes. It's been about 5 days since I last used serum. Will my dry eyes recover from using the serum only 1 time? Thank you.
