By now, you've probably seen all kinds of lash and brow growth serums, and you probably have many questions. Why so many, and what's the difference? How do they work? Are pricier serums better?
We've done the hard work of researching for you and of course, witnessed real-life results of the wonders a serum can work.
Peptides are small chains of amino acids aka the building blocks of protein, which contribute to hair growth and overall follicle health.
How exactly do peptides help with hair growth?
Peptides that are used in lash and brow growth serums are topically applied and are believed to nourish and stimulate the hair follicle and increase blood flow.
Brands like RevitaLash contain a proprietary blend called BioPeptin Complex®, which includes peptides, as well as biotin, lipids, and green tea extract rich in panthenol, which helps condition, strengthen, and soften lashes, brows, and hair while defending from breakage and brittleness. The peptides work in tandem with other conditioning ingredients for optimal results.
The peptides used in lash and brow growth serums, for example, very closely resemble the peptides naturally found in foods we consume. Most peptide supplements are derived from natural sources. Where each peptide is sourced from specifically can play a large role in quality and influence the pricing of each lash and brow serum.
Quality and sourcing can also play a role in reactions, so it is always a great idea to consult a physician prior to use, or stop use and consider opting for a sensitive formula. Less expensive serums typically have more filler ingredients, with which we see a higher rate of reactions and subpar results.
To achieve the best results with your serum we suggest first opting for a reputable brand. Then, your serum should be applied every single night until the desired results are adhesive, then you can switch to a more maintenance application of 3-4 times per week. Pro tip: we suggest adding your serum step to your nightly skincare routine, and doing so 30 minutes before bed. This ensures your expensive serums are being absorbed by your skin and not your pillowcase.
Serums are also a great add-on option for lash lifts & tints and brow laminations due to their nourishing and conditioning properties to keep your lashes in tip-top shape. For clients that come in with any natural lash damage from poorly applied extensions, strip lashes, or lash curlers(these can cause breakage to lashes, especially dry and brittle lashes) we get them on a serum for restoration purposes. We have seen some pretty insane lash and brow comebacks from a good serum. They’re also totally safe for lash extensions!
So, think of your serum as a leave-in conditioner, the same way we condition our hair, and apply skin serums. They bring our lashes and brows back to life after the daily wear and tear, creating an optimal environment to encourage hair growth.
At Rebel Lash, we have opted to exclusively offer RevitaLash to our clients for their reliable and consistent quality, and sensitive serum options.
As always, reach out with any questions. You can grab some RevitaLash at your next appointment 🤍
