An eyelash or simply lash is, each of the short curved hairs growing on the edges of the eyelids, serving to protect the eyes from dust particles,one of the hairs that grow at the edge of the eyelid.

Eyelashes protect the eye from debris and perform some of the same function as whiskers do on a cat or a mouse in the sense that they are sensitive to being touched, thus providing a warning that an object (such as an insect or dust mite) is near the eye (which is then closed reflexively).

What Is Eyelash Enhancement?

If you aren’t yet aware of this increasingly popular method of achieving longer lashes, eyelash enhancers are formulas that are topically applied to the base of your lower and upper lashes. They can even be used on sparse, thin eyebrows.

Is It Safe?

While prescription eyelash enhancers are often formulated with prostaglandin, a hormone that can cause side effects such as darkened irises (potentially irreversible) and blurred vision, more and more companies are developing safer, non-prescription alternatives that deliver impressive results.

Most non-prescription formulas are hormone and paraben-free. Instead, they’re formulated with polypeptides, amino acids, and conditioning ingredients to help rejuvenate lashes and strengthen them against breakage. So, you still get longer, fuller, darker-looking lashes and shapelier brows, without the negative side effects.

How Soon Can You See Results?

In some cases, users have reported seeing results in as little as seven days, while others may see results in four weeks.

SmartLash, for instance, has published its clinical results, which show that 46 percent of participants saw a difference in their eyelashes and/or brows in just seven days, while 100 percent saw a difference in 14 days. They also experienced up to a 68 percent increase in the appearance of lash length.
