One of the most common beauty complaints I hear from clients has to do with sparse lashes or of thinning lashes as one ages. I was sent the eyelash stimulator for review purposes. My lashes and brows were photographed prior to my first application and then again on the completion of the product pen.
I applied the product twice daily to my upper lash line and to my eyebrows. I did not choose to apply any product to my bottom lashes as they are quite long naturally and I am more concerned with my sparse brows. The pen applicator allows for an easy eyeliner like application.
I noticed that my eyelashes became thicker after about three weeks of use. My eyelashes are naturally very light at the tips, so to my naked eye I could not really see a difference at first. It was when my mascara was applied that I was impressed and could see a significant difference in length and density. I do enjoy wearing false lashes for special occasions or nights out, but since using Revita EPS I have not felt the need to apply a strip lash at all.
I do see a small difference in my brows, especially in the front of the brow between my eyes and in the middle of the brow. I feel like it is important to have realistic expectations when it comes to the brow area, as this area is one of the easiest to damage the hair follicles permanently and I am a guilty participant of the 90s thin brow trend. Between last decades’ over-tweezing, the fact that I wear my bangs to the right and I tend to sleep on my right side (constant friction) is why the end of my right brow had not filled in how I hoped, and not due to failure of the product.
If you are interested in a lash-enhancing product that does not require a prescription, nor does it come with some of the side effect of a prescription drug, I would recommend the DS Laboratories Revita EPS.
