Eyelash Growth Serum: 8 Best Lash Growth Serums

8 Lash Serums That'll Help You Grow Your Longest Lashes Yet

Achieving longer, fuller lashes without eyelash extensions or falsies may seem like a pipe dream, but with a good lash growth serum by your side, lengthier lashes that are the real deal are possible.

But before you start your search for the best one to stimulate growth, you should know that you have to commit in order to see results. We're talking daily applications, and for some formulas, even morning and night.

In addition to the best serums, another tried and true DIY method is applying castor oil. "Castor oil is most commonly used as a natural treatment for thin or sparse eyelashes," Dr Joshua Zeichner told InStyle.

"It is rich [in] fatty acids and helps [to] coat [the] hair shaft themselves to enhance shine and make the hair itself look thicker. In addition, castor oil has antimicrobial properties. By reducing levels of [yeast] along the hair follicles, it can help reduce inflammation and subsequently allow hair follicles to function optimally."

To apply, soak a Q-tip in the oil and carefully apply it to your lash line, leaving it on for at least 15 minutes if not overnight.

An eyelash growth serum can be used to complement such DIY methods, or used solo. Eyelash enhancing serums tend to be the more popular pick because they’re pretty simple to apply; some even come with a mascara-like applicator.

On the hunt for one but not sure what to look for? The best growth-boosting formulas are packed with conditioning peptides and fatty acids to stimulate and lash length.

Here, we've rounded up the best serums that will help you get the long lashes of your dreams.

Talika Lipocils Expert Lash Enhancer

This high-end serum combines a day and night formula for optimal lash regeneration. The night serum is designed to stimulate the lash’s active growth phase, multiplying lashes and strengthening them as they grow, while the day serum conditions your lashes and boasts anti-ageing properties.

Jane Iredale PureLash Extender + Conditioner

Growth isn't the only thing this serum takes care of (though it will certainly provide some lush lengthening action); it also primes and preps the lashes for mascara application, harnessing the power of a mix of botanicals to nourish, soften and condition.

Shiseido Full Lash Serum

This potent formula uses a blend of nourishing peptides that won't irritate even the most sensitive skin types, and in just four weeks, all of your friends will be wondering whether your lashes are the real deal or Kardashian-esque extensions. Just imagine the glee you'll feel when you can brag re: the natural factor...

APOT.CARE Optilash Lash Enhancing Serum

This ophthalmologist-tested, non-irritating lash enhancing serum, uses a highly effective P226 polypeptide combined with a moisturising and nutriment-packed Optiwide complex to ensure rapid, even and lasting growth, deep conditioning and optimal protection of the lashes. Plus, it's even safe for contact lens wearers.

Mirenesse Secret Weapon 4D Lash And Brow Growth Serum

Considering it's clinically proven to increase lash (and brow, if you're so inclined) volume by 66 per cent in just thirty days, you'd be forgiven for thinking that's all it could possibly offer. But no, it also happens to be loaded with kiwi seed oil to simultaneously nourish the eye area as it works.

Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner

Revitalash Advanced is practically the Rolls-Royce of lash conditioners. Not only does the serum grow fluffy, voluminous length as it promises, but nourishing ingredients like green tea, ginseng, and biotin also shield your lashes from external irritants to keep stronger for longer.

L'Oreal Paris Clinically Proven Lash Serum

If it's a length and strength double act you're after, give this repairing blend a go. Enhanced by keratin and filoxane for growth as well as hyaluronic acid and castor oil for hydration and health, it'll help to reduce lash loss while also enhancing fullness and moisture levels. It's also a serious steal.

($29.95 at adorebeauty.com.au)

Lashfood Eyelash Enhancer Serum

Feel more comfortable applying a vegan option? This fortifying formula is your ideal fit. In fact, it pulls its strengthening, thickening and darkening (yep, blacker lashes are possible) abilities from a range of organic herbs and plant extracts, from strengthening soy and rice proteins to growth-promoting arginine.
