To change this situation, I tried the neuLASH growth serum from Skin Research Laboratories for 30 days. In this article, I just wanted to share my experience with some before and after photos along the way.

Why Try NeuLash Serum
My current lashes are quite thin and straight. They were always very straight and even when I curl them they don’t last long. I have never used a growth serum or false eyelashes. I currently use a primer before my mascara which seems to help a bit.
I hope to have 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 with a stick for easy application. The instructions are pretty simple. Simply apply the serum gently to your upper lid once a day after removing your makeup.
Here’s a quick video of how I apply it.
Week 1: Getting Started
After a week, I have to admit I wasn’t sure if anything was going on. But I am well aware that the results may take some time. So not much to share here.
Week 2: Check-in midway
I had no side effects or irritation on my eyelids. My eyelashes are slightly thicker and longer. They seem to hold a curl better, but no drastic differences so far.
Week 3: Almost there
I still apply the serum to my lashes every night. I don’t experience any irritation or redness. I have noticed that my eyelashes are thicker and slightly longer. However, no major improvements since my two week update.
Week 4: Final results
I had no redness or irritation from the serum during the 4 weeks. The serum is lightweight and dries quickly. I have been using it every night before bed for the entire duration.
I have noticed that my lashes are fuller. Some days I didn’t even need an eyelash curler – after a little mascara, they look really good. I think they peaked at 2.5 weeks. They haven’t looked thicker or longer since. I definitely like the serum and will continue to use it. It is extremely fast and easy to use.
Components
Water (Aqueous), Rhizobia Gum, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Hydroxyethyl Cellulose, Biotin, Panthenol, Panthethin, Hydrolyzed Glycosaminoglycans, Allantoin, Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Extract, Dipotassium, Tripotassium, Water, Glycyptide, Glycyptide, Alcohol Denat (and) Clopros tense Isopropyl Ester, Polypeptide-23, Glycine Soja (Soy) Oil, Glycerin, Phosphatidylcholine, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, Sorbic Acid.
The most important ingredient to note in this formulation is the presence of isopropyl cloprostenate – a prostaglandin analogue. This ingredient thickness and fullness of eyelashes but can also lead to side effects.

A few other ingredients are worth mentioning.
Biotin: This vitamin plays a big role in the creation of keratin. Biotin is the protein found in hair, skin and nails. Enhances the strength and durability of the eyelashes.
Panthenol: Known as provitamin B5, panthenol is used in beauty products for its moisturizing effects. It gives the impression of a soft and shiny effect by coating the eyelashes.
Cucurbita Pepo (Pumpkin) Seed Extract: This ingredient is rich in fatty acids and antioxidants. The quality helps to nourish the eyelashes, making them healthier and more vibrant.
Copper tripeptide-1: This is a very interesting molecule that stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. This is a godsend for your lashes.
Pros and cons
So, after using the NeuLash serum for 30 days, I wanted to share my thoughts on the pros and cons that I experienced.
Advantages:
- The product applied very easily with a very handy eyeliner type brush.
- I experienced no side effects such as burning or irritation
- I definitely noticed that my lashes are stronger after using the serum for 30 days.
- Not tested on animals (this is important to me).
- They did a study to prove the effectiveness of the product so you know it’s not just marketing.
Disadvantages:
- This serum is definitely in the premium price range 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, be sure to do your research.
Final thoughts
Overall, I was very pleased with the results of the NeuLash Serum. I definitely noticed that my lashes were healthier and thicker after using this product for just 30 days. That being said, I have to honestly say that the results were nothing short of dramatic. It was a very subtle change. However, 30 days is still too short. Most eyelash serums need to be used for a longer period of time before we judge.
However, I think if you are on a budget, there are other products on the market with similar benefits but at a lower price. Also, as previously mentioned, be sure to do your research on cloprostenate isopropyl before deciding to use this serum.
