As someone who woke up one morning to a very scary eye emergency, it's serious y'all. Just be happy with what you have. Your vision and eye health is not worth it. Swelling inside the eye is nothing to play with.
Castor oil made my dry eyes worse so I was surprised when she said it's good for dry eye. It irritated my eyes, and the inflammation blocked my tear and oil ducts from moisturizing my eyes. I would be very cautious to take her advice. I personally feel like she was trying to sell her own product.
@@convenienceandpracticality9032 I had the same experience with castor oil. This whole video was so disappointing. I wouldn't buy anything from this individual.
Yes but without alternatives as illustrated here, women are being exposed to damaging products. I don’t see anything wrong with a safe alternative being available. And this doctor is an expert in her field and produces safe products. It’s a win win as far as I’m concerned. Informed choice is on the table here.
I think it’s important information, and she is offering an alternative to the drug based serums. It might be short sighted, to dismiss this information just because you think there is a money grab. Personally, I have experienced all the harsh issues from using these types of serums, even the non prostaglandin based serums,( because of the preservatives) so I think this is important information. I think it’s great that this Dr has formulated healthy eye products.
This person invited someone who appears to be very qualified, knowledgeable and helpful. I’m always amazed how many people are quick to criticize the work of others and provide no alternative. Exactly which alternative presenter did you have in mind? She said it’s to inform others so they can make their own decisions. It’s not harming anyone, it’s actually helping. Personally, I don’t even use mascara - I don’t like the idea of smearing a bunch of unnatural chemicals on my face, especially around my eyes which are part of the brain, that I wouldn’t put in my body. It’s all absorbed through the skin. I came here looking for natural ways to enhance lashes. I didn’t expect to see so many judgy comments. There is so much hate everywhere these days.
$52 for a small tube of castor, coconut, and argan oil is insane. I understand the science behind it but the price is outrageous. I'm someone who has been using castor oil with olive, coconut, and argan oil on my hair, lashes, and eyebrows for years and the effects are very noticeable. Nothing can explain the $52 for 0.33 oz of oils.
I've started using pure castor oil about 2 months ago. It wasn't a dramatic change but over time I've noticed that my lashes definitely seem thicker and more moisturised, so overall, I'm pretty happy and will continue to use it. No irritation or negative side effects in my case.
I used a tiny bit of castor oil on my lashes for a while and it always migrated into my eyes making my vision blurry and it felt like my eyes were cloudy. So very hesitant. And if peptides grow lashes. Can’t we just use our peptide based skin care around the eye lids? And Dr Dray on UA-cam here says that studies show that castor oil can cause a lot of problems around the eye. I’m conflicted and confused by conflicting information.
I used castor oil for the lashes for a while too and had the same problem with it getting into the eye, so i found it weird to hear it is commonly used to hydrate the eye. I'll have to check if that is true. But there would be a great difference in using pure castor oil or castor oil as One ingredient in a formulation with other stuff to achieve the right consistency/properties to hydrate the eye. I find it hard to believe pure castor oil would have exactly the properties needed for the surface of our eye 😑 another fallacy for this sales pitch doctor Oh, and I also got some milia from the castor oil
I used castor oil for a year on my eyes... it caused dry eye and a lot of eyelid irritation/redness, so I'm not sure I trust her completely. There's no way it would be helpful for dry eye. Kinda feel like she's selling something.
I have severe dry eye from Thyroid Eye Disease. I have an Opthomologist, Ocular Plastic Surgeon, Strabismus Eye Surgeon and Prism Opthomologist who have all suggested Castor Oil at some point in my 2 year journey with this horrible disease.
I have been using revitalash for 2 years no side effects. My lashes are crazy long!Prior to that castor oil and vegamour both did nothing for my lashes. I guess I would feel better if we had an ophthalmologist that wasn’t selling a product on this video. Not saying I don’t believe her but $52 for castor oil is expensive.
Honestly, I feel like this was a big advertisement video, and I've grown skeptic of people (even doctors) that make conspiracy-like claims about harmful ingredients. I've seen many times some easy to follow fallacies about ingredients being bad, later debunked with careful analysis of studies and evidence. I'm not saying everything here is false, I'm sure that her observations in clinic are true, but I don't expect a dermatologist to understand everything involved in the safety assessment of cosmetic ingredients. And I'm not even saying this because I want to believe in lash serums! I never used one, and never planed on using one. I do agree that eye health is way more important than aesthetics, and there should be zero margin for side effects in a cosmetic eye product
Same here. I used Latisse for over ten years and did have some side effects such as dryness. However, this was a commercial for her own lash products. Rubs me the wrong way a bit.
Revitalash caused sunken eyes for me but still I wouldn’t buy her product. Im ok with shorter lashes right now, once I hit menopause and my lashes will got sparse, I will buy castor oil or try extensions. I had to put fillers under my eyes after using Revitalash for 6 months, so I would never try these lash serums ever again.
Clicked away after the "im so happy you can pronounce all the ingredients, that's very important to skincare!". This is such a misleading comment, how are your language skills related to what compound works for your skin? A lemon contains phylloquinone and bananas has 3-methylbutyl-1-ol. Should we stop eating fruit now? Can Americans use more skincare than me who has it as a second language and can't even pronounce squirrel without stumbling? I know the rule is not supposed to be used as rigid as that, but im just trying to point out how ridiculous and baeed on hot air that comment is.
So I used to try lash growth serum. They made my eye lids super red to wear I HAD to wear concealer. My lashes would go through these intense cycles where I’d have nice long lashes then they would fall out and look awful for a few weeks. I just use castor oil now and I’m happy with the results.
Very disappointed that this video just turned into an infomercial for this person’s products. I’ve never used Latisse, but I have used Revitalash Advanced for 5 years with NO adverse reactions & it has definitely grown my lashes and brows. I’ve also tried pure castor oil and it did nothing to grow my lashes or brows. As for dry eyes, yes I have dryness, but I live at 7,000 ft in Colorado, I’m 67 years old and I’ve had LASIK surgery (all contributed to dry eyes). A good lubricating eye drop at night and first thing in the morning takes care of it.
All of her videos pretty much are. She talks about so many different products. No way she uses them all. One week her holy grail is Paula's Choice BHA. Next week it's another brand.
This wasn’t JUST a commercial for her product. This was factual and crucial information for the consumer. You’re free to MOT purchase her product but now you’re better informed…aren’t you glad?!?!
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
I just checked for reviews on Amazon and it doesn't seem to have high positive reviews. Most said it is thick and hard to apply. They didn't see lash growth. My concerns is that coconut oil and castor oil can and does clog my pores. Dr. Dray (another UA-cam Influencer) said to avoid castor oil for this reason. She also said that there is no scientific evidence that castor oil promotes hair growth.
I have glaucoma and used these medication s for years. Yes, U had beautiful long lashes, but also noticed some of f these side effects. The skin rimming my eyes was always red and I had the sunken eye effect. The color change was more a problem for blue or green eyes. My eyes are brown, so not an issue for me. Ultimately, I needed surgery because the meds failed to stop the progression of the disease. Since then, I have not needed the drops. The sunken eye and red eye symptoms did reverse. Those were the symptoms that were visible to me I do now have dry eye, but the surgery is probably the cause of that .
Not all castor oils are created equal. At twenty/twenty we use only the highest grade ophthalmologic castor oil in our Get Growing Serum which is why the price is higher than others on the market.
I've used castor oil. Kate Blanc cosmetics. It's very pure and was about $10. I would try that first. Unfortunately, I did not react well to castor oil. It caused millia and also made my eyes so red and itchy. I think some people may be allergic or sensitive to it. I'd try the less expensive route first. If it works then maybe step up a notch it you want.
As someone who suffers from severe dry eye this was an “eye opener “ . One of the best videos on this topic! I will be checking out her product and stop using Grande Lash or Latisse
Be careful, I used castor oil on my lashes for a year, and while it did help my lashes grow (but not as effective as Latisse was) it made my dry eye so much worse, so I had to stop. Just a forewarning... I know the doctor said it's helpful for dry eyes but I would be skeptical based on my own experience.
Same here, I had the Grande Brow and the skin around my brows always got slightly red when I used it. Made my brows temporarily darker after about 3 weeks using but the color went back to aging brown when I stopped. Didnt' really grow brows or fill them in a natural way.
@@Trytwentytwenty, this is such an informative video. I will definitely be taking a closer look at your lash and brow serum, eye shadow, and your brow gel. One thing though: your hypochlorous acid spray is severely over-priced at US $42 for 60ml/2 ounces. There are comparable products on the market, from well-known eye and skincare brands, which are far more affordable. TheraTears SteriLid Antimicrobial is $15.99 for 60ml/2 ounces. Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray (hypochlorous acid), which like your product, has been stabilized, is $28 for 120ml/4 ounces (and their refill bottle costs less per ounce). Briotech's BrioCare Skin Renew Toner (hypochlorous acid) is $14.99 for 100ml/3.4 ounces. E11ement's hypochlorous acid spray is $16 for 240ml/8 ounces. Whoever helps you set your prices (or, perhaps, whoever helps you source your ingredients) has steered you wrong on the price point for this product.

As a result of watching this video, I decided to try the TwentyTwenty lash serum which the the ophthalmologist is selling. I’ve been using it nightly since mid-May 2023 and it is now early August. So my conclusion is that it definitely helps with dry eye but I have seen no increase in eyelash length or thickness. Since I am 70 yo, and my hair growth has slowed down generally, this could be why. However, I am quite happy with the dry eye relief results. I was using lubricating eye drops 3-4X per day and now find I rarely have to use them. It feels like a soothing, natural way to treat this problem. I tried applying in the morning as well but found it leaves a slight film over the eye so kind of hard to see clearly. Haven’t decided whether to continue with the product or not at this point. Of course I was hoping for lush, thick lashes but that’s obviously not happening.
Thank you for this informative video! Couid you do a video on Self-Tanners that are safe for your skin and work? I have very very dry skin and it's hard to find anything with good moisture and my skin still looks dry...I have to do lotion first and that still doesn't help..😊
I suspect RapidLash was the cause of orbital fat loss that eventually turned my East Asian monolids to double eyelids (creased). I was lucky I had rather puffy upper eyelids so they actually look really good with less fat and I no longer have hooded eyes either. I even have more field of view since my eyes open higher. I know this because one eye remained monolid for about a year until it also developed a crease. I remember it was brighter in the eye with the crease. I did look strange for a year since I did not having matching eyes and went to see an oculoplastic surgeon to see what my options were. Luckily no surgery was needed in the end. The only negative is that I also had meibomian gland dysfunction during all this, which is most likely another side effect of the lash serum.
I have the fat problem UNDER my eyes. When I was younger, my under eyes were sunken in and I have dark circles. Now the under eye area is PUFFY with dark circles. I have been using Babe Lash for about 4 years. I have great lashes, but so far, no under eye fat loss. 😒😒
@@ItsMeCheryl1231 I think as we age our eye muscles weaken so the orbital fat that had been held back in place by eye muscles slowly begins to come forward. I had lower eyelid blepharoplasty in my early 30s since I naturally had excess fat that never went away even with diet and exercise. The downside of lower eyelid blepharoplasty is the side effect of developing loose lower eyelids (lower eyelid retraction or ectropian eyelids) which can cause dry eye. I just went in to get the surgery to correct this. Luckily it’s covered by insurance.
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
I used a lash serum 10 years ago that changed my eye color. I had blue eyes and started to notice that they were changing to a greenish hue with some darker flecks. Crazy that these products are allowed to be sold with ramifications.
The same exact thing happened to me! I went from light blue eyes to a light mint-sea green eyes. NOT what I wanted to happen! The crazy thing is, I haven’t used lash serums, but used serums on my eyebrows to try to thicken them! I wonder if there’s a way to get our blue eyes back. 😢

I was hoping you would do a video on this topic, thank you! Prostaglandins are not worth it, too many permanent side effects. This was an excellent video, very informative and enlightening. Thank you again. Xo
Thank you SO much for this show. I had seen weird effects from some of the ill effects of the over the counter lash boosters, plus the packaging talks about darkening of the lid. Now to hear the science behind these dark circles I'm so glad I threw it all away before more damage was done. Shame on the industry for allowing these for sale. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Before I was done watching this, I sent the link to my sister and a friend. I sent a second email apologizing for sending them a commercial.... I have been using one of the products the Dr. said was dangerous (Babe Lash) for about 4 years. No side effects, long lashes.
I will say that I used the Ordinary buffet + copper peptides on my eyebrows which improved them slightly, however it made them darker AND my eye color changed from blue to green! I’m in shock. Certain it’s the peptides! Eyes are definitely dryer too.
I switched from Revitalash which I've used for years to The Ordinary and my symptoms came back! Red, itchy, swollen, painful eyes. I'm just going to use it on my eyebrows.
You keep talking about the "horrible horrible side effects". There are thousands of us who use these drops every night for glaucoma. I am sure some people do have worse side effects but for most of us they aren't that bad and not losing your sight certainly makes it worth it. I actually quit watching this video on the middle. Maybe if the Dr had said that people who don't need it should consider these side effects but to say that they are horrible and bad across the board was just not professional.
I used castor oil (organic and cold pressed) for my eyebrows and eyelashes after I lost them after chemo. Everything grew back in although I have one eyebrow that has an area being stubborn to grow. 😊
❤This is such a "Necessary Topic" in today's makeup industry 💯 You are always a great dermatologist that is ahead of the curve informing us and your patients ‼️ This Wonderful Opthalmic Surgeon is Well Qualified with a degree from Columbia Med. School in New York and her many clinical years treating patients. ( I am a retired lady surgeon and admire both of you ladies for this information). Ty.💯
Wow. This all makes so much more sense. My eye has been infected every other week and I couldn’t figure it out. This makes a lot of sense now that’s it’s probably the eye serum I was using.
Thank you so much for covering this topic. I recently purchased the lash serum as it was recommended by Dr. Joseph Allen of Doctor Eye Health Channel. I have super dry eyes, and he has great tips. I haven't used it yet as I am using up another brand, which will be tossed in the garbage immediately! This was a very informative video. Will definitely try some of their other products. Remember to clean your eyelids peeps. I use an eye scrub, maybe I'll try the spray. Thank again
My.opthalmologist told me any main brand lash serum is safe. He based it on the fact that serums were created from the side effect of lash growth found in glaucoma medication. I reiterated my concern for using anything that could harm my severely dry & mature eyes. So, I proceeded use. I have just noticed discoloration & other signs of ocular irritation. I wonder how many other eye Dr.s would not know the harms. I best do even greater diligence on my own.
Very timely; I stopped using Revitalash about a month ago due to discoloration, swelling and stinging. I am curious, if the doctor would care to comment, does the orbital pathology occur if the PG analogs are only used on the brows? Additionally, is there systemic absorption of the active ingredients? As a doctor myself, I have seen that with some of the topicals I use. As an aside, the salesperson at Ulta told me that Grande lash did not have prostaglandins. Thanks for a very interesting video.

I have noticed eye hollowing and red eyes on so many beauty influencers that are using these lash serums. I can't believe they don't research it. They keep on promoting them to their followers too.
And there are plenty of people who have no issues at all. Castor oil isn't a fail safe either. I tried it and had a horrible reaction to it. Everybody is selling something and every influencer is getting their piece of the pie too. It's all about $$$$.

I appreciate this video so much. I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I’ve known for years how bad so many of these products and it’s chemicals are for us. I’ve really scaled back on using many products about 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroid autoimmune, and just recently diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and put on prescription eye drops for it. Clean effective products are a must for me now. Thank you so much for sharing! I will be looking into these eye products!
I understand the message of the video and agree that it’s important to know, however only mentioning one safe alternative product line, that is sold by the expert, throws doubt on the video.
Brilliant! Thank you so much, I have suffered dry eye for so long and I was scared to put castor oil near my eyes, now I will definitely try this method.
There are already great alternatives on the market, without the medical risks from ingredients in her product. See the bottom. Im sorry, but she sounds quacky. Hear me out! She's using 3 forms of propaganda here. 1, trusted figure like a doctor you will likely trust. 2, Using big words over and over, even though she's repeating herself. 3 Fear mongering. Im sorry, I wanted to have respect, as some of these statements are true.. but I have some things to say. Yes, there are side effects to products like Latisse, and she is totally correct on those facts. HOWEVER, when she's saying, "I've seen in clinic.. peoples' mental health is more affected by brows," this is anecdotal. When making mental health claims, you need to either say, "I think/I'm under the impression/ some patients have told me," OR have studies to back these claims. So ok, whatever.. except she's not only trying to sell something. But sell something with no research, and something that can be harmful. Coconut oil can clog pores, as we know. But CASTOR OIL CAN CAUSE *CHALAZION*. Its okay to suggest an alternative. But don't make things up that are completely subjective to her.. a person trying to sell a different product than she's criticizing. And if you're going to do that, at least be clear about the risks of your product, as well. I could be wrong; I only mustered enough patience to watch to 27:20. But as a scientist who works closely to the medical field: I'm disappointed. There are plenty lash serums without the scary ingredients shes fear mongering. Try this: Lash Therapy Australia Lash Serum. I hope this helps someone. Good luck on your self care journey!
Wow, i've used Latisse & RapidLash. Not only did i NOT see any improvement but had i known about the 100% fat loss side effect, i would have NEVER wasted my money on these products :(
I agree. This is so annoying. I mean really… millions of women use eye shadow for decades with no problem. I don’t believe a word this “doctor” says. She’s using fear based tactics to sell her line.
I feel like I'm aging gracefully but oof - I found some old pictures of me when I was in my 20s/30s and my brows were insane!!! So thick, dark and beautiful - they really provide an aesthetic accent to the face I never appreciated when I was young. and that's why I ended up here - of all the aging "problems" I'd really like to reverse or improve, it's my eye brows.
I was the less than 1% that got clumps of lash fallout from Latisse when it first came on the market. Most all these serums in recent years gave me terrible allergic reactions. None are worth it based on the health risks. My mom used olive oil or castor oil on her lashes and eyebrows at night. I've been doing the same for years.
Previously tried revitalash which worked nicely. When I stopped the serum my leashes fell off…. I was left even with bald spots it was awe full and did not seem worth it. So I changed to Rodan and Fields that works with eyelash growth too. I got all those side effects mentioned over 6 months of using Rodan Fields eyelash serum. Ended up at the eye doctor who pointed out these were side effects to the eyelash serum. I was not surprised since I had noticed the symptoms had started with the use of the serum and would worsen after applications. This video is educational and provides a solution. Most sellers only care for your money. This eye doctor specialist care for your eye health, and beauty. She gets a profit for revealing the truth and providing a solution. That’s a fair profit. I’ve been paying 150usd for Rodan and Fields serum and 20/20 serum costs 50usd. In addition to eye inflammation relief I am looking forward to the pocket relief 😮💨
Same as the previous reply. Always have been hesitant about eye lash serums, I have extreme dry eyes so always need to be careful! Thank you for this great video!! Any thoughts on eye brow serums?
I had horrible fat atrophy. It took about a year to get better. I had no idea what was going on until I saw a similar video. I still don't know if it fully resolved, but it's way better
My eye color has changed from blue to very light green. It’s bizarre. The only thing I did different was use peptides on my eyebrow hair, don’t think I even got to my eyelashes! Ladies beware this is a definite side effect! Latisse changed my Sister’s eyes from green to brown (that’s the color they usually become in the studies). Speaking of, look up the studies. Oh, they’re talking about Latisse now!
Grande Lash caused my eyes to get red, irritated, and fat loss around my eyes, more sunken, darkening of the skin underneath my eyes. It was insane that it was caused by just a serum. It grows your lashes sure, but at what cost. After finding out about a month of using it, I stopped and thankfully it did go back to normal.
I've been using it for glaucoma for over 30 years. The change of eye color is minimal and most obvious in those with brown eyes, with your eye going darker. The disciloring if the eyelid they showed is laughable. If you get that it is minimal discoloration, easily covered up by makeup. I have had no loss of orbital fat around my eyes...so don't know if I should believe her 100% or her nearly 100%. Lol...just my experience.
Wow ..... That's crazy. I have been using Grande Lash. I noticed eyelid discoloration. I will definitely stop before my eye color changes. I am so sad that I didn't know this sooner
Putting all this fake crap on and in our faces can’t possibly be good. It just can’t. When I use mascara , I use clean products only. I use it a few times a month. I do curl my lashes , but I don’t need 10 inch lashes anyway. I have decent lashes by nature, but I don’t like a ton of stuff on my eyes.
There is no "clean beauty". Literally. There is no regulation about what "clean" means. Usually the "clean" ingredients are not even tested for efficacy or safety, while the "fake crap" is Clean beauty is just marketing
I can testify of the dark eyelids. I was using the grande lash serum but stop because I notice that right away. Thank you for a great informative video.
@@heatherjane910 I'm not the one you're asking, but I can offer that I've used Latisse off and on for years. My eyelids do get red, but that definitely goes away when I stop using it. Seems puzzling that this doc says she's never seen it go away. Can't imagine I'm the one exception! Hmmm. 🤔
@@heatherjane910 it does reverse after you stop using it. I used revitalash. For a long time I had zero problems with it. Then I noticed my undereye area was getting kind of dark. I stopped using it. Darkness went away within 2 weeks. It's not permanent.
Well, this video terrified me until at the end I see her trying to sell her products and then I realized why all the fear mongering. I have heard that castor oil has the same effects of fat loss, which a lot of people use it for their bellies and claim loss on belly so yeah, even her product is dangerous. Someone would say because of the castor oil.
When using castor oil or coconut oil around the eyes, how harmful is it if the product gets INTO the eye? I’ve had this happen. My vision gets blurry but eventually clears up.
Yes.I used Lash achitect for six months without any side effects. Then I noticed that one night after removing my makeup that my eyelids were suddenly bright red.I now have all the reactions that are listed and I haven't used any serums or mascara for a year.I have flare ups, blurry eyes inner eyelid redness also.Am on the hunt for a cure for this.Hence I have been doing the carnivore diet.😢
yes. Bimatoprost is safe when used as instructed. If you get unwanted side effects, they go away when you stop use, except for the change in colour of iris which is very rare anyway.
I can’t get the lash serum link to work. Any advice, anyone? Or does anyone know the name & I can track it down? May have been mentioned in vid but I didn’t catch it.
The doc said the side effects start early on. So I'm wondering, if I've been using one of these products for a few years without side effects, does that mean I won't develop them??
Could I ask a question Doctor,i was using bimatoprost in both eyes for glaucoma, but in one eye it wasn't lowering my eye pressure so i ended up having to have a trabeculectomy in that eye,so i have longer lashes on the other eye,and the one i had the op on have stopped growing as long, would it be safe for me to use castor oil on this eye to try to make both eyelashes a bit more even on both eyes,?
What is and where is "the sulkis"? I wish you had asked because maybe you know because you're a doctor, but almost none of the people who are listening to this are so It would have been not only the nice thing but the right thing to do to explain it.
I used a lash serum and after 90 days I had very lovely long lashes. Used it for about a year. Then i read about the problems that could occur and quit using it. Besides I didn’t want to chance it changing my eyes to brown. I love my green eyes.
As much as I didn’t want to watch this video, I did bc of the budget dermatologist. I thought of course the eye doctor will have a problem w anything cosmetic they just care about eyes being perfectly healthy so they will hate even tiny risks. But hearing that those popular serums commonly have side effect, hit me. I never had the crazy side effects that changed my eye color or eye muscles, but I did get redness around the eyes, and styes. Thank you for giving alternatives and explaining how they work.
I tried a few types of lash serums and it ALWAYS caused sunken eyes. I got it fixed my a dermatologist with a treatment called Light Eyes but I would never try any ever again.
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
I’m getting the lash and brow serum. And I’m happy about it. I have noticed my eyes feel weird when I put stuff on them. So I stop. Now I can use something I know is safe. I will be buying more things now that you have showed us how to use it.
Thank you for sharing this. Your educational videos on skincare and Beauty products have been so helpful this last year for me and my skin has never been better. My lash serum gone straight to the bin and will be returning to making my own natural formula with the ingredients recommended. 🙏😊 I will also rethink the other products I'm using around my eye! Thank you!
This is a terrible take away from the video. Natural ingredients won't give you safer products, and DIY products won't hold to the same standard of safety (anti-contaminations)
I have been on Latanoprost for glaucoma for many years. I have had zero side effects. I also am one of the unlucky ones who’s eyelashes have not grown.
I use 50% organic castor oil and 50% organic African black seed oil and rub on my temple as my hair has thinned through menopause. It has made a different. Someone mentioned it once on UA-cam and suggest putting it on a half hour before washing. I put min on the night before. It really works
As someone who woke up one morning to a very scary eye emergency, it's serious y'all. Just be happy with what you have. Your vision and eye health is not worth it. Swelling inside the eye is nothing to play with.
Preach it! We believe beauty should never come at the cost of your eye health!
Same !! It’s true
Yikes! Hope you've recovered
*Eye Dr:* * All lash serums are bad *
*Eye Dr:* * Except mines! *
*Eye Dr:* * BUY MINES! *
That’s how they lost me🙄
Had the same thought - need guidance about other products that are safe and effective
Castor oil made my dry eyes worse so I was surprised when she said it's good for dry eye. It irritated my eyes, and the inflammation blocked my tear and oil ducts from moisturizing my eyes. I would be very cautious to take her advice. I personally feel like she was trying to sell her own product.
@@convenienceandpracticality9032 I had the same experience with castor oil. This whole video was so disappointing. I wouldn't buy anything from this individual.
Can you get a Dr. That isn’t promoting her own brand. That would be very helpful.
It's all about money.
Yes but without alternatives as illustrated here, women are being exposed to damaging products. I don’t see anything wrong with a safe alternative being available. And this doctor is an expert in her field and produces safe products. It’s a win win as far as I’m concerned. Informed choice is on the table here.
I think it’s important information, and she is offering an alternative to the drug based serums. It might be short sighted, to dismiss this information just because you think there is a money grab.
Personally, I have experienced all the harsh issues from using these types of serums, even the non prostaglandin based serums,( because of the preservatives) so I think this is important information. I think it’s great that this Dr has formulated healthy eye products.
This person invited someone who appears to be very qualified, knowledgeable and helpful. I’m always amazed how many people are quick to criticize the work of others and provide no alternative. Exactly which alternative presenter did you have in mind? She said it’s to inform others so they can make their own decisions. It’s not harming anyone, it’s actually helping.
Personally, I don’t even use mascara - I don’t like the idea of smearing a bunch of unnatural chemicals on my face, especially around my eyes which are part of the brain, that I wouldn’t put in my body. It’s all absorbed through the skin. I came here looking for natural ways to enhance lashes. I didn’t expect to see so many judgy comments. There is so much hate everywhere these days.
$52 for a small tube of castor, coconut, and argan oil is insane. I understand the science behind it but the price is outrageous. I'm someone who has been using castor oil with olive, coconut, and argan oil on my hair, lashes, and eyebrows for years and the effects are very noticeable. Nothing can explain the $52 for 0.33 oz of oils.
I've started using pure castor oil about 2 months ago. It wasn't a dramatic change but over time I've noticed that my lashes definitely seem thicker and more moisturised, so overall, I'm pretty happy and will continue to use it. No irritation or negative side effects in my case.
I used a tiny bit of castor oil on my lashes for a while and it always migrated into my eyes making my vision blurry and it felt like my eyes were cloudy. So very hesitant. And if peptides grow lashes. Can’t we just use our peptide based skin care around the eye lids? And Dr Dray on UA-cam here says that studies show that castor oil can cause a lot of problems around the eye. I’m conflicted and confused by conflicting information.
Trust the derm without a line of products
I used castor oil for the lashes for a while too and had the same problem with it getting into the eye, so i found it weird to hear it is commonly used to hydrate the eye. I'll have to check if that is true. But there would be a great difference in using pure castor oil or castor oil as One ingredient in a formulation with other stuff to achieve the right consistency/properties to hydrate the eye.
I find it hard to believe pure castor oil would have exactly the properties needed for the surface of our eye 😑 another fallacy for this sales pitch doctor
Oh, and I also got some milia from the castor oil
I used castor oil for a year on my eyes... it caused dry eye and a lot of eyelid irritation/redness, so I'm not sure I trust her completely. There's no way it would be helpful for dry eye. Kinda feel like she's selling something.
100% selling. And the company is all over this comment section. It's sad how many people are blindly opening their wallets.
I used it for dry eye as well and it worked for a few months but got diminishing returns
I have severe dry eye from Thyroid Eye Disease. I have an Opthomologist, Ocular Plastic Surgeon, Strabismus Eye Surgeon and Prism Opthomologist who have all suggested Castor Oil at some point in my 2 year journey with this horrible disease.
I have been using revitalash for 2 years no side effects. My lashes are crazy long!Prior to that castor oil and vegamour both did nothing for my lashes. I guess I would feel better if we had an ophthalmologist that wasn’t selling a product on this video. Not saying I don’t believe her but $52 for castor oil is expensive.
Same thoughts.
Honestly, I feel like this was a big advertisement video, and I've grown skeptic of people (even doctors) that make conspiracy-like claims about harmful ingredients. I've seen many times some easy to follow fallacies about ingredients being bad, later debunked with careful analysis of studies and evidence.
I'm not saying everything here is false, I'm sure that her observations in clinic are true, but I don't expect a dermatologist to understand everything involved in the safety assessment of cosmetic ingredients.
And I'm not even saying this because I want to believe in lash serums! I never used one, and never planed on using one.
I do agree that eye health is way more important than aesthetics, and there should be zero margin for side effects in a cosmetic eye product
Same here. I used Latisse for over ten years and did have some side effects such as dryness. However, this was a commercial for her own lash products. Rubs me the wrong way a bit.
Revitalash caused sunken eyes for me but still I wouldn’t buy her product. Im ok with shorter lashes right now, once I hit menopause and my lashes will got sparse, I will buy castor oil or try extensions. I had to put fillers under my eyes after using Revitalash for 6 months, so I would never try these lash serums ever again.
Agree with y’all.
Clicked away after the "im so happy you can pronounce all the ingredients, that's very important to skincare!". This is such a misleading comment, how are your language skills related to what compound works for your skin? A lemon contains phylloquinone and bananas has 3-methylbutyl-1-ol. Should we stop eating fruit now? Can Americans use more skincare than me who has it as a second language and can't even pronounce squirrel without stumbling? I know the rule is not supposed to be used as rigid as that, but im just trying to point out how ridiculous and baeed on hot air that comment is.
So I used to try lash growth serum. They made my eye lids super red to wear I HAD to wear concealer. My lashes would go through these intense cycles where I’d have nice long lashes then they would fall out and look awful for a few weeks. I just use castor oil now and I’m happy with the results.
I have had the same experience. Although caster oil was even more problematic. I guess I'm allergic to it :(
No way I would use a product with coconut oil! Mila does not look good on me.
Very disappointed that this video just turned into an infomercial for this person’s products. I’ve never used Latisse, but I have used Revitalash Advanced for 5 years with NO adverse reactions & it has definitely grown my lashes and brows. I’ve also tried pure castor oil and it did nothing to grow my lashes or brows. As for dry eyes, yes I have dryness, but I live at 7,000 ft in Colorado, I’m 67 years old and I’ve had LASIK surgery (all contributed to dry eyes). A good lubricating eye drop at night and first thing in the morning takes care of it.
All of her videos pretty much are. She talks about so many different products. No way she uses them all. One week her holy grail is Paula's Choice BHA. Next week it's another brand.
This wasn’t JUST a commercial for her product. This was factual and crucial information for the consumer. You’re free to MOT purchase her product but now you’re better informed…aren’t you glad?!?!
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
I just checked for reviews on Amazon and it doesn't seem to have high positive reviews. Most said it is thick and hard to apply. They didn't see lash growth.
My concerns is that coconut oil and castor oil can and does clog my pores. Dr. Dray (another UA-cam Influencer) said to avoid castor oil for this reason. She also said that there is no scientific evidence that castor oil promotes hair growth.
I think the same, looks like she's bias. She's the only doctor who says castor oil is good for that, and it all seems like an Advertising
Whoa, where's the Budget.
This is PR for this oil.
Yep, you are right.
Didn't care for the dr. Selling her products, a real turn off
I have glaucoma and used these medication s for years. Yes, U had beautiful long lashes, but also noticed some of f these side effects. The skin rimming my eyes was always red and I had the sunken eye effect. The color change was more a problem for blue or green eyes. My eyes are brown, so not an issue for me. Ultimately, I needed surgery because the meds failed to stop the progression of the disease. Since then, I have not needed the drops. The sunken eye and red eye symptoms did reverse. Those were the symptoms that were visible to me I do now have dry eye, but the surgery is probably the cause of that .
So, it’s fine to use castor oil? It sounds like it’s the primary ingredient. I appreciate that she made a safe serum, but it’s still very expensive.
Not all castor oils are created equal. At twenty/twenty we use only the highest grade ophthalmologic castor oil in our Get Growing Serum which is why the price is higher than others on the market.
I've used castor oil. Kate Blanc cosmetics. It's very pure and was about $10. I would try that first. Unfortunately, I did not react well to castor oil. It caused millia and also made my eyes so red and itchy. I think some people may be allergic or sensitive to it. I'd try the less expensive route first. If it works then maybe step up a notch it you want.
As someone with blepharitis, I’ve always been afraid to use anything on my eye lids do this is so helpful!!! 💜🙏🏽
Our serum is actually designed for peope with blepharitis to help soothe irritated eyes!
As someone who suffers from severe dry eye this was an “eye opener “ . One of the best videos on this topic! I will be checking out her product and stop using Grande Lash or Latisse
Such an important topic! Thank you Dr.Locke for having our founder Dr. Diane Hilal-Campo on your show!
Be careful, I used castor oil on my lashes for a year, and while it did help my lashes grow (but not as effective as Latisse was) it made my dry eye so much worse, so I had to stop. Just a forewarning... I know the doctor said it's helpful for dry eyes but I would be skeptical based on my own experience.
Same here, I had the Grande Brow and the skin around my brows always got slightly red when I used it. Made my brows temporarily darker after about 3 weeks using but the color went back to aging brown when I stopped. Didnt' really grow brows or fill them in a natural way.
@@Trytwentytwenty, this is such an informative video. I will definitely be taking a closer look at your lash and brow serum, eye shadow, and your brow gel. One thing though: your hypochlorous acid spray is severely over-priced at US $42 for 60ml/2 ounces. There are comparable products on the market, from well-known eye and skincare brands, which are far more affordable. TheraTears SteriLid Antimicrobial is $15.99 for 60ml/2 ounces. Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray (hypochlorous acid), which like your product, has been stabilized, is $28 for 120ml/4 ounces (and their refill bottle costs less per ounce). Briotech's BrioCare Skin Renew Toner (hypochlorous acid) is $14.99 for 100ml/3.4 ounces. E11ement's hypochlorous acid spray is $16 for 240ml/8 ounces. Whoever helps you set your prices (or, perhaps, whoever helps you source your ingredients) has steered you wrong on the price point for this product.
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
As a result of watching this video, I decided to try the TwentyTwenty lash serum which the the ophthalmologist is selling. I’ve been using it nightly since mid-May 2023 and it is now early August. So my conclusion is that it definitely helps with dry eye but I have seen no increase in eyelash length or thickness. Since I am 70 yo, and my hair growth has slowed down generally, this could be why. However, I am quite happy with the dry eye relief results. I was using lubricating eye drops 3-4X per day and now find I rarely have to use them. It feels like a soothing, natural way to treat this problem. I tried applying in the morning as well but found it leaves a slight film over the eye so kind of hard to see clearly. Haven’t decided whether to continue with the product or not at this point. Of course I was hoping for lush, thick lashes but that’s obviously not happening.
Glad you got some relief for your dry eyes.
Thank you for this informative video! Couid you do a video on Self-Tanners that are safe for your skin and work? I have very very dry skin and it's hard to find anything with good moisture and my skin still looks dry...I have to do lotion first and that still doesn't help..😊
I suspect RapidLash was the cause of orbital fat loss that eventually turned my East Asian monolids to double eyelids (creased). I was lucky I had rather puffy upper eyelids so they actually look really good with less fat and I no longer have hooded eyes either. I even have more field of view since my eyes open higher. I know this because one eye remained monolid for about a year until it also developed a crease. I remember it was brighter in the eye with the crease. I did look strange for a year since I did not having matching eyes and went to see an oculoplastic surgeon to see what my options were. Luckily no surgery was needed in the end. The only negative is that I also had meibomian gland dysfunction during all this, which is most likely another side effect of the lash serum.
I have the fat problem UNDER my eyes. When I was younger, my under eyes were sunken in and I have dark circles. Now the under eye area is PUFFY with dark circles. I have been using Babe Lash for about 4 years. I have great lashes, but so far, no under eye fat loss. 😒😒
@@ItsMeCheryl1231 I think as we age our eye muscles weaken so the orbital fat that had been held back in place by eye muscles slowly begins to come forward. I had lower eyelid blepharoplasty in my early 30s since I naturally had excess fat that never went away even with diet and exercise.
The downside of lower eyelid blepharoplasty is the side effect of developing loose lower eyelids (lower eyelid retraction or ectropian eyelids) which can cause dry eye. I just went in to get the surgery to correct this. Luckily it’s covered by insurance.
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
I used a lash serum 10 years ago that changed my eye color. I had blue eyes and started to notice that they were changing to a greenish hue with some darker flecks. Crazy that these products are allowed to be sold with ramifications.
The same exact thing happened to me! I went from light blue eyes to a light mint-sea green eyes. NOT what I wanted to happen! The crazy thing is, I haven’t used lash serums, but used serums on my eyebrows to try to thicken them! I wonder if there’s a way to get our blue eyes back. 😢
@@JenDoe1 there’s not. Mine have been like this for over 10 years now.
@@bnb0510 thank you for your reply. I can’t believe peptides did this to my eyes!

I was hoping you would do a video on this topic, thank you! Prostaglandins are not worth it, too many permanent side effects. This was an excellent video, very informative and enlightening. Thank you again. Xo
We couldn't agree more!
Thank you SO much for this show. I had seen weird effects from some of the ill effects of the over the counter lash boosters, plus the packaging talks about darkening of the lid. Now to hear the science behind these dark circles I'm so glad I threw it all away before more damage was done. Shame on the industry for allowing these for sale. Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Before I was done watching this, I sent the link to my sister and a friend. I sent a second email apologizing for sending them a commercial.... I have been using one of the products the Dr. said was dangerous (Babe Lash) for about 4 years. No side effects, long lashes.
I've been using The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash & Brow Serum since last August.... Is it ok? I read the ingredients but the long weird names were sending me nuts 🤣
Aqua (Water), 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.
I will say that I used the Ordinary buffet + copper peptides on my eyebrows which improved them slightly, however it made them darker AND my eye color changed from blue to green! I’m in shock. Certain it’s the peptides! Eyes are definitely dryer too.
I switched from Revitalash which I've used for years to The Ordinary and my symptoms came back! Red, itchy, swollen, painful eyes. I'm just going to use it on my eyebrows.
You keep talking about the "horrible horrible side effects". There are thousands of us who use these drops every night for glaucoma. I am sure some people do have worse side effects but for most of us they aren't that bad and not losing your sight certainly makes it worth it. I actually quit watching this video on the middle. Maybe if the Dr had said that people who don't need it should consider these side effects but to say that they are horrible and bad across the board was just not professional.
I definitely am interested in trying this serum, but isn't coconut oil technically a pore clogging ingredient?
I used castor oil (organic and cold pressed) for my eyebrows and eyelashes after I lost them after chemo. Everything grew back in although I have one eyebrow that has an area being stubborn to grow. 😊
I would like to see how Dermatologist’s lash results I 6 months & 1 year of using her serum.

School in New York and her many clinical years treating patients. ( I am a retired lady surgeon and admire both of you ladies for this information). Ty.💯
We couldn't agree more!
“ lady surgeon?” 😮
@@hilltopvalley6529 Gentle and thorough 🥰‼️. The Opthalmologist is a surgeon 💯‼️‼️👍
Let me hear from a doctor who doesn't have their own brand, and I will listen.
Wow. This all makes so much more sense. My eye has been infected every other week and I couldn’t figure it out. This makes a lot of sense now that’s it’s probably the eye serum I was using.
Thank you so much for covering this topic. I recently purchased the lash serum as it was recommended by Dr. Joseph Allen of Doctor Eye Health Channel. I have super dry eyes, and he has great tips. I haven't used it yet as I am using up another brand, which will be tossed in the garbage immediately! This was a very informative video. Will definitely try some of their other products. Remember to clean your eyelids peeps. I use an eye scrub, maybe I'll try the spray. Thank again
Thank you for this informative video! I have been using castor oil for my lashes and brows for about 10 years and it works so well!
An ophthalmologist fav for longer lashes & treating dry eye!
My.opthalmologist told me any main brand lash serum is safe. He based it on the fact that serums were created from the side effect of lash growth found in glaucoma medication. I reiterated my concern for using anything that could harm my severely dry & mature eyes. So, I proceeded use. I have just noticed discoloration & other signs of ocular irritation. I wonder how many other eye Dr.s would not know the harms. I best do even greater diligence on my own.
No way would I be using castor oil on my lashes. Hello styes in your eyes!
This is over exaggerated
Very timely; I stopped using Revitalash about a month ago due to discoloration, swelling and stinging. I am curious, if the doctor would care to comment, does the orbital pathology occur if the PG analogs are only used on the brows? Additionally, is there systemic absorption of the active ingredients? As a doctor myself, I have seen that with some of the topicals I use. As an aside, the salesperson at Ulta told me that Grande lash did not have prostaglandins. Thanks for a very interesting video.
I use Babe Lash only on my brows and it doesn’t have any of the prostaglandins listed as she claimed, but I also don’t have any side effects
I would say yes! I used peptides only on my brows and my eye color has changed from light blue to A light mint green color. I’m not happy about this!
Jendoe: that's awful, so sorry to hear. What brand was it?
Mercy

I have noticed eye hollowing and red eyes on so many beauty influencers that are using these lash serums. I can't believe they don't research it. They keep on promoting them to their followers too.
It’s very scary, we believe education is key! Thank you Dr.Locke for having our founder Dr. Diane Hilal-Campo on your show to discuss!
And there are plenty of people who have no issues at all. Castor oil isn't a fail safe either. I tried it and had a horrible reaction to it. Everybody is selling something and every influencer is getting their piece of the pie too. It's all about $$$$.
Castor oil irritated my eyes also.

Latisse she the side effects are real - but they will go away when you discontinue use
Interesting video. Thank you fir bringing this to our attention. I have been using Briotech hypochlorous acid spray for awhile now. Terrific.
Have you been using this Dr's eyelash serum for months before this video?
I appreciate this video so much. I’m a licensed cosmetologist and I’ve known for years how bad so many of these products and it’s chemicals are for us. I’ve really scaled back on using many products about 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with hashimotos thyroid autoimmune, and just recently diagnosed with thyroid eye disease and put on prescription eye drops for it. Clean effective products are a must for me now. Thank you so much for sharing! I will be looking into these eye products!
@the budget dermatologist This is a bit off-topic, but can you please do a review of the CeraVe sunscreens?
I understand the message of the video and agree that it’s important to know, however only mentioning one safe alternative product line, that is sold by the expert, throws doubt on the video.
I work in the beauty field and have received about 5 or 6 free. I am so glad I havent even started using any of them.
Brilliant! Thank you so much, I have suffered dry eye for so long and I was scared to put castor oil near my eyes, now I will definitely try this method.
Castor oil was HORRIBLE for me. I wanted to scratch my eyeballs out. Never again.
Castor oil made my dry eyes so much worse! The dryness became too unbearable and I stopped using it.
There are already great alternatives on the market, without the medical risks from ingredients in her product. See the bottom.
Im sorry, but she sounds quacky. Hear me out! She's using 3 forms of propaganda here. 1, trusted figure like a doctor you will likely trust. 2, Using big words over and over, even though she's repeating herself. 3 Fear mongering. Im sorry, I wanted to have respect, as some of these statements are true.. but I have some things to say.
Yes, there are side effects to products like Latisse, and she is totally correct on those facts. HOWEVER, when she's saying, "I've seen in clinic.. peoples' mental health is more affected by brows," this is anecdotal. When making mental health claims, you need to either say, "I think/I'm under the impression/ some patients have told me," OR have studies to back these claims.
So ok, whatever.. except she's not only trying to sell something. But sell something with no research, and something that can be harmful. Coconut oil can clog pores, as we know. But CASTOR OIL CAN CAUSE *CHALAZION*. Its okay to suggest an alternative.
But don't make things up that are completely subjective to her.. a person trying to sell a different product than she's criticizing. And if you're going to do that, at least be clear about the risks of your product, as well.
I could be wrong; I only mustered enough patience to watch to 27:20. But as a scientist who works closely to the medical field: I'm disappointed.
There are plenty lash serums without the scary ingredients shes fear mongering. Try this:
Lash Therapy Australia Lash Serum.
I hope this helps someone. Good luck on your self care journey!
That serum did not get great reviews on Amazon.
Wow, i've used Latisse & RapidLash. Not only did i NOT see any improvement but had i known about the 100% fat loss side effect, i would have NEVER wasted my money on these products :(
If the eye Dr cared that much she should have made a more affordable product.
Very informative and educational video! I’ve used several of the eye lash serums listed and I’m ordering her products right away! Thanks Dr. Maren!
Keep us posted on what you think!
I knew there is an ulterior motive for this video. It’s all about pushing products. 🙄
😂😂😂
Pushing? How is offering an alternative pushing something on you? 🙄🙄
That is correct! Exaggerating the side effects of one product to push another product 🤣🤣🤣 basic and shady.
@@Noname99903cause she is promoting her brand and her creation! That is literally pushing
I agree. This is so annoying. I mean really… millions of women use eye shadow for decades with no problem. I don’t believe a word this “doctor” says. She’s using fear based tactics to sell her line.
can you comment on OLAPLEX lash serum ingredients?
I feel like I'm aging gracefully but oof - I found some old pictures of me when I was in my 20s/30s and my brows were insane!!! So thick, dark and beautiful - they really provide an aesthetic accent to the face I never appreciated when I was young.
and that's why I ended up here - of all the aging "problems" I'd really like to reverse or improve, it's my eye brows.
I was the less than 1% that got clumps of lash fallout from Latisse when it first came on the market. Most all these serums in recent years gave me terrible allergic reactions. None are worth it based on the health risks. My mom used olive oil or castor oil on her lashes and eyebrows at night. I've been doing the same for years.
What about the freaking expensive brand ?? Safe???
Revitalash isn't safe. It has that ingredient.
Previously tried revitalash which worked nicely. When I stopped the serum my leashes fell off…. I was left even with bald spots it was awe full and did not seem worth it. So I changed to Rodan and Fields that works with eyelash growth too.
I got all those side effects mentioned over 6 months of using Rodan Fields eyelash serum. Ended up at the eye doctor who pointed out these were side effects to the eyelash serum. I was not surprised since I had noticed the symptoms had started with the use of the serum and would worsen after applications.
This video is educational and provides a solution. Most sellers only care for your money. This eye doctor specialist care for your eye health, and beauty. She gets a profit for revealing the truth and providing a solution. That’s a fair profit.
I’ve been paying 150usd for Rodan and Fields serum and 20/20 serum costs 50usd. In addition to eye inflammation relief I am looking forward to the pocket relief 😮💨
Hi! Your mention of the serum you use isn’t actually a link to use. Can you tell the name and where to find this??
Same as the previous reply. Always have been hesitant about eye lash serums, I have extreme dry eyes so always need to be careful! Thank you for this great video!!
Any thoughts on eye brow serums?
I used Latisse and now have sucken eyes, eyelid cyst, and creepy eyelid skin. Atp I need my eyes done…Bleph and fat transfer. Ughh
I had horrible fat atrophy. It took about a year to get better. I had no idea what was going on until I saw a similar video. I still don't know if it fully resolved, but it's way better
My eye color has changed from blue to very light green. It’s bizarre. The only thing I did different was use peptides on my eyebrow hair, don’t think I even got to my eyelashes! Ladies beware this is a definite side effect! Latisse changed my Sister’s eyes from green to brown (that’s the color they usually become in the studies). Speaking of, look up the studies. Oh, they’re talking about Latisse now!
Wait so it effects the eyes even if you do not get it on your lashes ??
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back.
Grande Lash caused my eyes to get red, irritated, and fat loss around my eyes, more sunken, darkening of the skin underneath my eyes. It was insane that it was caused by just a serum. It grows your lashes sure, but at what cost. After finding out about a month of using it, I stopped and thankfully it did go back to normal.
This is "eye opening" information! Thank you!
We love a good eye pun!
Hello Doctor. Great job🎉
Please make a video on the most effective cosmetic/medicine for Dark circles/under eye skin.
Wow, $52 for 10 ml of 3 cheap oils??
I've been using it for glaucoma for over 30 years. The change of eye color is minimal and most obvious in those with brown eyes, with your eye going darker. The disciloring if the eyelid they showed is laughable. If you get that it is minimal discoloration, easily covered up by makeup. I have had no loss of orbital fat around my eyes...so don't know if I should believe her 100% or her nearly 100%. Lol...just my experience.
Wow ..... That's crazy. I have been using Grande Lash. I noticed eyelid discoloration. I will definitely stop before my eye color changes. I am so sad that I didn't know this sooner
So, you can return these items within 60 days but the website claims you need 90 days to see results. 🤷♀️
3-8% eye color change is out of context. Doctor needs to say 3-8% out of how many people. This gives clear context. Is it 3-8% out of 1000 patients?
Putting all this fake crap on and in our faces can’t possibly be good. It just can’t. When I use mascara , I use clean products only. I use it a few times a month. I do curl my lashes , but I don’t need 10 inch lashes anyway. I have decent lashes by nature, but I don’t like a ton of stuff on my eyes.
There is no "clean beauty". Literally. There is no regulation about what "clean" means. Usually the "clean" ingredients are not even tested for efficacy or safety, while the "fake crap" is
Clean beauty is just marketing
I can testify of the dark eyelids. I was using the grande lash serum but stop because I notice that right away. Thank you for a great informative video.

I've been using the Grande Lash Serum for about 6 months now. Luckily no side effects yet but I will definitely be buying the one she recommends.
@@heatherjane910 I'm not the one you're asking, but I can offer that I've used Latisse off and on for years. My eyelids do get red, but that definitely goes away when I stop using it. Seems puzzling that this doc says she's never seen it go away. Can't imagine I'm the one exception! Hmmm. 🤔
@@lorijean1487 why? If you aren't having any issues why change?
@@heatherjane910 it does reverse after you stop using it. I used revitalash. For a long time I had zero problems with it. Then I noticed my undereye area was getting kind of dark. I stopped using it. Darkness went away within 2 weeks. It's not permanent.
Well, this video terrified me until at the end I see her trying to sell her products and then I realized why all the fear mongering. I have heard that castor oil has the same effects of fat loss, which a lot of people use it for their bellies and claim loss on belly so yeah, even her product is dangerous. Someone would say because of the castor oil.
When using castor oil or coconut oil around the eyes, how harmful is it if the product gets INTO the eye? I’ve had this happen. My vision gets blurry but eventually clears up.
I used castor oil for a week on my eyes and got severe allergy!
Same!
You can buy tubs of those three ingredients which are natural items, and she selling that serum for $50?? LMFAO
Another ophthalmologist who has covered this topic and has a channel is Dr. Rupa Wong.
Dr. Wong is the best! She is on our Visionary Panel of Experts!
Yes.I used Lash achitect for six months without any side effects. Then I noticed that one night after removing my makeup that my eyelids were suddenly bright red.I now have all the reactions that are listed and I haven't used any serums or mascara for a year.I have flare ups, blurry eyes inner eyelid redness also.Am on the hunt for a cure for this.Hence I have been doing the carnivore diet.😢
This reputable doctor is exaggerating the side effects of bimatoprost and promoting her own brand. Basic marketing strategy, shady in my opinion.
Very shady. I’m so disappointed in this channel. Unsubscribing.
yes. Bimatoprost is safe when used as instructed. If you get unwanted side effects, they go away when you stop use, except for the change in colour of iris which is very rare anyway.
I can’t get the lash serum link to work. Any advice, anyone? Or does anyone know the name & I can track it down? May have been mentioned in vid but I didn’t catch it.
Long story short: castor oil, coconut oil and argan oil are good for lashes...great, thanks, I have those here at home.
The doc said the side effects start early on. So I'm wondering, if I've been using one of these products for a few years without side effects, does that mean I won't develop them??
Could I ask a question Doctor,i was using bimatoprost in both eyes for glaucoma, but in one eye it wasn't lowering my eye pressure so i ended up having to have a trabeculectomy in that eye,so i have longer lashes on the other eye,and the one i had the op on have stopped growing as long, would it be safe for me to use castor oil on this eye to try to make both eyelashes a bit more even on both eyes,?
What is and where is "the sulkis"? I wish you had asked because maybe you know because you're a doctor, but almost none of the people who are listening to this are so It would have been not only the nice thing but the right thing to do to explain it.
I used a lash serum and after 90 days I had very lovely long lashes. Used it for about a year. Then i read about the problems that could occur and quit using it. Besides I didn’t want to chance it changing my eyes to brown. I love my green eyes.
I’ve used prostaglandin analogues on and off for years. Dark eyelids has always gone away with the eyelashes
As much as I didn’t want to watch this video, I did bc of the budget dermatologist. I thought of course the eye doctor will have a problem w anything cosmetic they just care about eyes being perfectly healthy so they will hate even tiny risks. But hearing that those popular serums commonly have side effect, hit me. I never had the crazy side effects that changed my eye color or eye muscles, but I did get redness around the eyes, and styes. Thank you for giving alternatives and explaining how they work.
I tried a few types of lash serums and it ALWAYS caused sunken eyes. I got it fixed my a dermatologist with a treatment called Light Eyes but I would never try any ever again.
RAPIDLASH RUINED MY EYES. I've lost all the fat around my eyes, It's been a year and it still hasn't come back!! How does it come no one has sued this company, and they are still allowed to sell their shitty products??
I’m getting the lash and brow serum. And I’m happy about it. I have noticed my eyes feel weird when I put stuff on them. So I stop. Now I can use something I know is safe. I will be buying more things now that you have showed us how to use it.
Hope you enjoy! Keep us posted on what you think!
Thank you for sharing this. Your educational videos on skincare and Beauty products have been so helpful this last year for me and my skin has never been better. My lash serum gone straight to the bin and will be returning to making my own natural formula with the ingredients recommended. 🙏😊
I will also rethink the other products I'm using around my eye! Thank you!
This is a terrible take away from the video. Natural ingredients won't give you safer products, and DIY products won't hold to the same standard of safety (anti-contaminations)
@@auricia201 exactly. The only product proven to grow lashes is prescription Bimatoprost.
I have been on Latanoprost for glaucoma for many years. I have had zero side effects. I also am one of the unlucky ones who’s eyelashes have not grown.
Same! It was the only eye drop that didn't bother me.
I use 50% organic castor oil and 50% organic African black seed oil and rub on my temple as my hair has thinned through menopause. It has made a different. Someone mentioned it once on UA-cam and suggest putting it on a half hour before washing. I put min on the night before. It really works

Oh I know a few people who go to Dr. campo and I get emails all the time from Twenty Twenty!
I fall to see how a lash serum with castor, argon, and coconut oils should cost $52.00.
Profit margins 👍🏻
And for two teaspoons of product!
You look old even though you are a doctor with all the resources you have. 😢
