Mavala Double Lash Nutritive Eyelash Serum for the Appearance of Longer Lashes, Natural Looking, Denser Lashes + Eyebrows, 0.3 Ounce Bottle (1 Pack)

I originally started using this approximately 1999 or later. I thought I was seeing results but then I thought it wasn’t real and didn’t stick with it.About 2007 I used Latisse and definitely saw results, but it was expensive so I ended going back to Mavala. And as in the beginning, the results are noticeable and NOT my imagination!I’m 77 and recently had major eye surgery for vision loss and they had to completely cut off my eyelashes on my left eye!!! I was horrified -But - I sent the link for Mavala eyelash serum to the doctors office to see when I could start reusing it; they checked the ingredients and said that it had nothing harmful so I could start right away!!! That was two days after surgery, it’s now two weeks later and I’ve already noticed my eyelashes are starting to regrow. I do apply it often throughout the day because of my situation, so keep that in mind when you use it.Based on what I’m seeing, I’m hopeful that they will be back to how they were before they were cut in time for my grandsons wedding in late OctoberPS The nurses in the OR said that I had beautiful eyelashes and when they responded from the doctors office they said that they were going to look into using the serum also 😉

I’m such a fan of this stuff! I’ve been using it for almost 20 years!!I have trichotillomania, a BFRB (look it up!), and so I’m always dealing with growing-in eyelashes. This is my favorite product to use because the application is easy, the applicator brush gently scratches my lids, which is what I need for relief, and the formula is gentle, tingly, and effective. My lashes definitely grow in faster when I use this. I recommend it to anyone struggling with trich! And, of course, anyone with eyelashes at all!!

I have been in love with Mavala for many years! To be exact, since 2010 I started using it. For those who search for growing long eyelashes, let me share my experience why Mavala is better than other products.I had used Latisse, Vegamour, LeuLash, RapidLash, RevitalLash ..., you name it, I probably had tried them before. Latisse is expensive and required prescription (unless you buy it from a doctor's office that they know you). I used Latisse for almost six months and had to stop because it was causing too much irritation. My eyes were red and dried, and the long lashes didn’t stay too long, they dropped off easily. My friend who used Latisse had hairs grown near her eyes, near ear areas, perhaps due to rubbing her eyes after application.Other eyelash serums or lashes-lengthen alternatives have different ingredients but their applications more or less the same, using a simple applicator that looks like an eye liner to apply on eyelids once a day. Without going into a lengthy discussion, a gentle reminder is to check the ingredients by googling them for safety and avoid some eyelash serums that can cause potentially dangerous side effects such as ocular irritation, hyperemia, iris color change, macular edema and ocular inflammation, that may cause allergy, especially to people with sensitive skin.Mavala is not a magic serum, it works slowly. When I used other serums, I sometimes get eye redness and itchiness, or in worst scenario, my eyes became drier. Mavala doesn’t cause such problem. It works slowly so don’t expect lengthy lashes overnight. While other serums might give you lengthy lashes, Mavala gives you thinker lashes. I also find that my lashes don’t drop off quickly compared to using other brands. I apply Mavala once a day after shower, under my upper eyelids and eyebrows. Over the years, many people have complimented my thick eyebrows and eye lashes. Mavala didn’t give me any irritations. I am a forgetful person even if I forget to apply Mavala (especially traveling and sometimes just forgot), my eye lashes stayed the same. Certainly, I do always go back to using it. By the way, if you have the patience to apply multiple coats, and cover your entire lashes with the serum (brush them all the way to the end), it does help to grow longer lashes. In the beginning (first few years) I did that, but now I am happy with the results and don’t bother to work harder. My lashes grow thicker in several rows of lashes, I can see it using a 5x magnifying mirror.To summarize, I love Mavala as it gives me stronger and thicker eye lashes without eye irritation. It is made in Switzerland. The reason I give it four stars is because the price increase is too much! I started buying from Amazon in 2012. I just checked the price, it was only $15 in 2012... fast forward to recent years, $27.50 in 2019 and now $37 before tax!If you find this review useful, please give me an encouraging “helpful” pat on the shoulder. Like you, we all depend on meaningful reviews to help us in our buying decision. Happy shopping!

I must say that I have, indeed, seen a difference in my lashes since I have been using this product. I haven't used other lash products so I can't compare the Mavala against others out there, but I know they make quality nail products and the price was very economical so I didn't think there was much to loose in giving it a try. About three weeks have passed and I didn't see any difference for the first couple of weeks but was faithful in an every night application thinking at least its good nurishment against the mascara. I have almost the most non-existant eyelashes ever and weak brows. My lashes are short and sparse, and so light they are almost transparant. Because they are so skimpy, wearing mascara always just emphasized how sparse they were - if I tried to remedy that with more mascara, it was just a gloppy, over-dramatic mess, even when using the really good mascaras. After being without mascara for about a week recently (allergy season here in Virginia) but still using Eye-Lite each night, I took a second look, and then a third, to make sure I saw what I thought I saw. To my surprise when I put on mascara my lashes actaully seem to have doubled in thickness and are also longer! They are still almost transparent, and the Eye-Lite hasn't made them darker (Eye-Lite doesn't claim to do so) but when I put on mascara the difference in my lashes was really noticable. I even feel more resistance when the wand goes through them, when I never noticed that before. (okay, maybe I'm splitting hairs saying that, no pun intended, but I am impressed!) I am going to FAITHFULLY use this product - it is truly a mini-miracle for me. Five Stars is a high rating, and some people who already have good lashes may not see the difference in their lashes that I did - but all I can say is that I had few lashes before and now I have MORE, the product didn't irritate my eyes, price was very reasonable, and as always, it's easy and convenient to shop Amazon. To me that all adds up to Five Stars.
