If you’re of a certain age and have noticed that your trusty mascara isn’t doing the trick, or it requires a lot more formula to achieve the look than it used to, you probably aren’t imagining it. As we age our hormone levels fluctuate, and this not only thins out the hair on our heads but also can cause eyelashes to break, fall out and not grow back. Even if you’re still in your twenties and thirties, you can have hormonal imbalances that will also thin lashes. Or perhaps you simply weren’t blessed with a set of naturally thick lashes, to begin with. No matter the cause, there are many over the counter lash serums that can help aid in the regrowth of your eyelashes.
Vichy LiftActiv Eyes And Lashes Serum
You read that correctly, eyes and lashes serum. This product offers up a two-for-one benefit, targeting fine lines around the eyes and strengthening and conditioning lashes at the same time. It is formulated with ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and rhamnose, a plant sugar, all of which reduce visible signs of aging and fortifies the lashes. It’s gentle enough to use twice a day.
