Got short and sparse eyelashes? Let me tell you that you’re not alone (see my pictures in a second).
To change this situation, I tried the neuLASH growth serum from Skin Research Laboratories for 30 days. In this article, I simply wanted to share my experience with some before & after pictures along the way.
Let’s get started!

Summary: NewLash Growth Serum is a lash-enhancing product designed to improve the appearance of eyelashes. It’s formulated with Active Eyelash Technology® and a proprietary blend of amino acids.
This nutrient-rich formula aims to promote the growth of your lashes while conditioning them at the same time.
Why Try the NeuLash Serum
My current eyelashes are pretty thin and straight. They have always been very straight even when I curl them they don’t last very long. I have never used a growth serum or worn artificial lashes. I do currently use a primer before my mascara which seems to help a little bit.
I am hoping to get some thicker, fuller lashes. Here is a picture of me with and without mascara before I started using NeuLASH.
My 30-Day Experience
First Impressions
The packaging is nice and the serum bottle comes wand to easily apply it. The instructions are pretty straightforward. Just gently dispense the serum to your upper lash lid once daily after removing your makeup.
Here’s a quick video on how I apply it.
Week 1: Getting Started
After one week, I have to admit I wasn’t sure if anything was happening. But I’m very aware that results can take some time. So not much to share here.
Week 2: Midway Check-In
I have had no side effects or irritation on my eyelids. My lashes are slightly thicker and longer. They seem to hold a curl better, but no drastic differences so far.
Week 3: Almost There
I am still applying the serum to my eyelashes every night. I am not experiencing any irritation or redness. I have noticed my eyelashes are thicker and slightly longer. However not any major improvements from my two-week update.
Week 4: Final Results
I have not had any redness or irritation from the serum at all during the entire 4 weeks. The serum is lightweight and dries quickly. I have used it every night at bedtime for the entire duration.
I have noticed my lashes are fuller. Some days I haven’t even needed an eyelash curler- after some mascara, they look really good. I think they peaked at 2.5 weeks. They haven’t seemed any thicker or longer since then. I definitely like the serum and will continue using it. It is super quick and easy to use.
Ingredients
Water (aqua), Rhizobian Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Biotin, Panthenol, Pantethine, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Allantoin, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin ) Seed Extract, Dipotassium, Glycyrrhizate, Sea Water, Octapeptide-2, Copper Tripeptide-1, Alcohol Denat (and) Isopropyl Cloprostenate, Polypeptide-23, Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil, Glycerin, Phosphatidylcholine, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Sorbic Acid.
The most important ingredient to point out in this formulation is the presence of Isopropyl Cloprostenate – a prostaglandin analog. This ingredient lashes thickness and fullness but can also lead to side effects.
If you want to know more about prostaglandins, make sure to read this article to find out lash serums without prostaglandins.
Some other ingredients are worth mentioning.
Biotin: This vitamin plays a big role in keratin creation. Biotin is the protein found in hair, skin, and nails. It fosters robustness and resilience in eyelashes.
Panthenol: Known as a provitamin of B5, Panthenol is used in beauty products for its moisturizing actions. It gives the impression of a smooth and shiny effect by coating the eyelashes.
Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Extract: This ingredient is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. The quality helps nourish the lashes thus making them more healthy and vibrant.
Copper Tripeptide-1: This is a very interesting molecule that stimulates collagen and elastin production. This is a god-sent ingredient for your lashes.
Pros and Cons
So, after using NeuLash Serum for 30 days I wanted to share my thoughts about the pros and cons I experienced.
Pros:
- The product was very easy to apply with a very handy eyeliner-type brush.
- I didn’t experience any side effects such as burning or irritation
- I definitely noticed my lashes being stronger after using the serum for 30 days.
- Not tested on animals (that’s important for me).
- They did a study to prove the effectiveness of the product so you know it’s not just marketing.
Cons:
- This serum is definitively in the high-end price range when compared to other products.
- The bottle was not transparent. I think it would be nice to see how much product is left inside.
- It uses Isopropyl Cloprostenate, a prostaglandin. Several countries have regulations to avoid these ingredients in cosmetics. So if you use this serum, make sure you do your research.
Final Thoughts
Overall, I was quite pleased with the results of NeuLash Serum. I definitely noticed my eyelashes were healthier and thicker after using this product for just 30 days. Having said that, I honestly have to say that the results were far from dramatic. It was a very subtle change. But, 30 days is still quite short. Most lash serums should be used for a longer period before making any judgment.
However, I think that if you are on a budget, there are other products in the market with similar benefits but at a lower price point. Also, as mentioned before, make sure to do your research about Isopropyl Cloprostenate before deciding to give this serum a go.
