It’s the ideal route to take and there are plenty of products out there that promise to grow the long lashes you seek.
Most eyelash serums are all hype
You have to be careful when shopping for serums. Many of them do not do what they say they are going to do. Some do contain the active ingredient biotin such as Lancer Lash Serum Intense and Body Merry Lash & Brow Elixir. Several experts, however do not 100% believe that biotin will grow your hair much faster, let along eyelash hair.
A trick to try
Although not proven, there is a method you can try that will create the illusion of a long lash and that’s castor oil. The oil can make your eyelashes look longer while creating a glossing effect. It may even prevent breakage.
