The Secret to Powerful Eyes: Effective and Safe Choices in Eyebrow and Eyelash Serums

1. Why Should We Use Eyebrow and Eyelash Serum?

Eyebrows and eyelashes are one of the most important elements defining facial expression. Daily makeup, frequent cleansing, mascara, permanent makeup, or hormonal changes can cause shedding, weakening, and thinning in these areas. In this case, eyebrow and eyelash serums come into play, supporting follicle health and contributing to a thicker, longer, and stronger growth process.

Serums generally:

• To reduce hair loss,

• To encourage new hair growth,

• To increase the thickness and flexibility of the hairs,

• It is formulated to repair damaged follicles.

2. Safe, Hormone-Free Formulations

🔬 Procapil: A Powerful and Secure Growth Supporter

In recent clinical studies, Procapil, one of the leading active ingredients, stands out in eyebrow and eyelash serums for its ability to increase follicle activity without hormonal effects. This complex, formulated with biotinyl-GHK (biotin + peptide), oleanolic acid, and apigenin, prevents hair loss in the hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes, and increases the anchoring strength of the hair follicle.

• Biotinyl-GHK: Biotin derivative biotinyl-GHK strengthens hair follicles by increasing collagen production. It enhances hair follicle nourishment and prolongs the anagen (growth) phase.

• Oleanolic Acid: This substance, obtained from olive tree leaves, nourishes hair follicles and supports healthy hair growth.

• Apigenin: A flavonoid derived from citrus fruits. It promotes circulation, ensuring more oxygen and nutrients are transported to the hair follicle. Acting as a vasodilator, apigenin increases blood flow to the blood vessels in the scalp, thus promoting healthy hair growth.

Clinical studies show that serums containing Procapil can provide a 121% increase in eyebrow and eyelash density with 120 days of regular use. Furthermore, this ingredient offers safe use without the risk of irritation or skin pigmentation changes associated with prostaglandin derivatives.

Most effective brow and lash serums contain prostaglandin analogs or similar hormone derivatives. While these substances may be effective in the short term, they can lead to long-term side effects such as redness, increased pigmentation, dark circles around the eyes, and irritation.

Hormone-free serums, on the other hand, support follicle health with natural peptides, plant extracts, and vitamin complexes. Common active ingredients in these types of products include:

💡 The most important criteria for choosing a safe serum are: it should be free of hormones, prostaglandin derivatives, perfume, and alcohol; it should be pH-balanced around the eyes; and it should have undergone dermatological and ophthalmological testing. L'Adore Tokyo PeptiLashes and PeptiBrowa brow and lash products are formulated with these standards in mind.

3. Important Considerations During Use

Hygiene and consistent application are essential when using eyebrow and eyelash serum. The skin around the eyes is the most sensitive area — so the following points should be considered during application:

1. The skin must be clean. All makeup residue and sebum must be removed before applying the serum.

2. Brushes or applicators should be for personal use only. They should not be shared with others to prevent the risk of infection.

3. It should be applied 1-2 times a day, preferably at night. Skin regeneration is at its maximum during sleep.

4. Avoid contact with eyes. If it gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.

5. Allow 1-2 minutes for drying after application. Then other products can be used.

⚠️ Contact lens wearers should apply the serum after removing their lenses.

4. Duration of Effect and Results

Eyebrow and eyelash growth cycles have an average renewal period of 6–8 weeks. With serum use, the effects are generally observed in the following order:

🔬 Clinical data show that peptide-based serums can provide up to a 30% increase in concentration starting from the 8th week with regular use.
