Do you wish your lashes were longer, thicker, and stronger? You're not alone! Thousands search daily for solutions to achieve the perfect gaze. In this article, you'll learn how lashes grow, what care they need, and which active ingredients truly make a difference – for naturally beautiful lashes without extensions.
Eyelashes grow in a complex, three-phase cycle. Unlike head hair, they complete this cycle in just 90-120 days:
- Anagen phase (growth phase): Lasts only 30-45 days – this is when the actual eyelash growth occurs.
- Catagen phase (transition phase): Growth activity stops, the hair root shrinks.
- Telogen phase (resting phase): The eyelash falls out and makes room for a new one.
The short growth phase explains why our eyelashes naturally reach a limited length. High-quality eyelash care products like Tru Cosmetics' Eyelash Serum Strong address this issue directly: The prostaglandin derivative isopropyl cloprostenate it contains extends the active growth phase, while the triple peptide complex strengthens the hair follicles.
The growth rate is only about 0.12-0.14 mm per day. Therefore, patience is essential when caring for eyelashes – initial results will only become visible after at least 6-8 weeks of consistent application.
Active ingredient science: What really makes eyelashes grow
Peptide power for natural eyelash growth
Peptides have proven to be key active ingredients for healthy eyelash growth. These small amino acid chains act as signaling molecules that stimulate the hair follicle at the cellular level. Particularly effective are:
- Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17: Activates keratin production, the main building block of eyelashes.
- Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1: Improves the anchoring of the eyelash in the follicle.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: Strengthens the hair root and reduces premature eyelash loss
These active ingredients interact with the follicle cells without affecting the hormonal balance – a crucial advantage for long-term use.
In addition to peptides, other nutrients play a key role.
- Biotin (Vitamin B7): Supports keratin production and improves eyelash structure
- Caffeine: Promotes microcirculation at the hair root and optimizes nutrient supply.
- Hyaluronic acid: Retains moisture and ensures flexibility and elasticity
- Panthenol: Strengthens eyelashes from within and reduces breakage.
Tru Cosmetics combines these active ingredients in scientifically formulated products such as the Eyelash Serum Strong for maximum results or the gentler Eyelash Serum Soft for sensitive eyes – both made in Germany and vegan.
For effective eyelash growth, correct application is crucial:
- Cleansing: Thoroughly remove all traces of makeup to optimize the absorption of the active ingredients.
- Dosage: A fine line along the upper lash line is sufficient – overdosing will not bring better results.
- Timing: Evening application makes optimal use of the nightly regeneration phase.
- Consistency: Daily application for 8-12 weeks for the full eyelash growth cycle.
- Patience: First visible results appear after 6-8 weeks, optimal results after 3-4 months.
Short application cycles with brief breaks of 1-2 weeks support follicle regeneration and prevent product buildup. This way, you achieve long-lasting, natural results without irritation.
Numerous myths about eyelash growth circulate in the beauty industry:
Myth 1: Mascara damages eyelashes.
Fact: It is not the mascara itself, but aggressive removal or sleeping with makeup that damages the eyelashes.
Myth 2: Vaseline or olive oil make eyelashes grow.
Fact: These home remedies can temporarily provide more shine, but they do not contain any growth-promoting ingredients.
Myth 3: Brushing eyelashes daily promotes growth.
Fact: Gentle brushing improves blood circulation, but can damage eyelashes if used too vigorously.
For truly longer and thicker eyelashes, a combination of the following is recommended:
- High-quality serums with scientifically proven active ingredients
- Gentle cleaning without rubbing or pulling
- A balanced diet with proteins, B vitamins and zinc
- Avoiding eyelash curlers if you have brittle eyelashes
