Carefully Selected: Top 5 Recommended Eyelash Serums Everyone is Currently Using!

What’s Good About Eyelash Serums?

Recently, when I look at Instagram, it seems like everyone is introducing their favorite eyelash serums.

It’s been trending, so I've been curious about it too, but I have a strong impression from when I bought an eyelash serum for around 1000 yen at a drugstore about 10 years ago that it was just a placebo effect… Even though everyone is introducing them, I was skeptical, thinking, “It’s just advertising, right?” (Is there anyone else who feels the same??)

That said, lately everyone has been saying things like, “Eyelash serums are amazing! I can’t go back to not using them!” and there are actual before-and-after photos showing growth, so I thought that the ingredients must have improved significantly since I bought one years ago! After a few years, I decided to try using one. Rather than a cheap eyelash serum from a drug store, I tried a luxury eyelash serum that has been trendy lately, which costs about 3000 yen a bottle. It turned out to be incomparable to what I used a few years ago; my eyelashes really grew and had more volume. (And this happened in just a short period of about a month!)

I was amazed…!!! After researching a lot of reviews and trying various kinds, I’d like to introduce my recommendations in this article.

From the more than 50 eyelash serums available in the market,

✅ Eyelash extensions are OK

✅ Eyelash curling is OK

I've carefully selected six eyelash serums along with their respective merits, demerits, and the lowest price information!

Why Do Eyelash Serums Make Them Grow?

By the way, why do people say that applying eyelash serums results in "eyelashes growing rapidly!" and "increased density!"?

Essentially, eyelash serums do not "increase your natural eyelashes" but rather "reduce the damage to your natural eyelashes and provide nutrients, which ultimately leads to an increase in the volume of your natural eyelashes."

So, rather than applying and having more eyelashes grow progressively, they provide nutrients to eyelashes that have thinned or shortened due to damage from eyelash perms, extensions, cosmetics, cleansing, dryness, UV rays, sweat, and sebum, thus “returning” them to their original potential.

Therefore, it won't make your eyelashes grow beyond their natural potential, but since they have been damaged for decades, we often do not realize our eyelashes' true potential. Hence, while we feel that our eyelashes have “grown!” it’s actually not that our eyelashes have grown, but rather that they are returning to a state where they have not been damaged.

This means they are restoring the original appearance of eyelashes that have been properly nourished and protected from damage.*

Recommended Eyelash Serum ① Extra Long Lash

The eyelash serum "Extra Long Lash" has gained attention originating from Poland.

The biggest feature of Extra Long Lash is that it contains components and potent ingredients that have not yet been approved for production in Japan.

(Japan has strict standards for components used in cosmetics and supplements compared to the global stage, so it takes a significant amount of time for new ingredients to be approved for use in Japan.)

That said, it does not contain components that are prohibited for sale in Japan (it’s just that they are not yet approved for production, but they are allowed to be sold), so rest assured it is a product recognized overseas.*

You can purchase Extra Long Lash regularly from the official website.

✅ First purchase 999 yen (2nd purchase onwards 2,970 yen)

✅ 4 installments required

✅ Cancelling after 4 installments will cost 11,309 yen (2,827 yen per bottle)

Extra Long Lash is applied once at night and lasts for 1 to 2 months per bottle. If I calculate it to finish one bottle in 1.5 months, it breaks down to 1,884 yen a month.

Many people voiced that they noticed effects in less than a month, so it certainly has a reputation for being very effective for an overseas product!?

Recommended for those with relatively strong skin or those who want to try a potent eyelash serum loved overseas!*

Recommended Eyelash Serum ② Pure Free Eyelash Serum Premium

Probably the most well-known eyelash serum is “Pure Free Eyelash Serum Premium.” This is the eyelash serum from Scalpd Beaute, which Naomi Watanabe is featured in the commercials ♡

The biggest feature of Scalpd's eyelash serum is that it contains components for eye area care. It not only works on eyelashes but also addresses the elasticity of the eye area ♡

It has the effect of both an eyelash serum and an eye area beauty serum.*

It also contains a "coating component," which helps make eyelashes curl upward more easily!*

It’s sold at drugstores nationwide, as well as Loft and Tokyu Hands, but it’s cheaper to buy in bulk from the official store on Rakuten ♡

✅ 1 bottle 3,524 yen

✅ 2 bottles 6,342 yen

✅ 3 bottles 10,572 yen

Pure Free Eyelash Serum Premium comes with a large applicator tip, making it easy to apply, and one bottle lasts about 2 months with one application at night. This breaks down to 1,762 yen per month.*

It's affordable, trusted as Scalpd, and contains beauty serum components for the eye area, plus it’s certainly effective at lengthening eyelashes, so there were many reviews saying they can’t live without it ♩

Recommended Eyelash Serum ③ Emakitt

The eyelash serum “Emakitt” is praised with “It’s expensive, but it’s worth the price.”

When looking solely at its effect of "making eyelashes grow," it’s very good; however, there are many voices mentioning that it may cause pigmentation, eye redness, or itching.

When I used it, I did notice a significant increase in my lashes in about 2 weeks, but the outer corners of my eyes did slightly darken due to pigmentation. It was not bothersome enough to be concerning...

Some people say they experienced no pigmentation, while others have had issues with redness or irritation. So, for those who might not react well to it (while it might be fantastic for others), it may be better to try just one bottle before committing to a subscription.

On the official Rakuten shop, a subscription is 4,840 yen for one bottle with a 3-month commitment (14,520 yen for 3). However, a single purchase is 6,250 yen, and one bottle lasts about 2 months.

Highly recommended for those who want to try an eyelash serum that has immediate effects, even if it's expensive! ♡

Let’s Grow Eyelashes♡

Honestly, I thought eyelash serums were just a placebo, but

the recent eyelash serums certainly make my natural lashes feel like they’ve grown (though to be precise, they are not necessarily growing; they just returned to their original potential after restoring the damages). I think, “I’m glad I used it! ♡”

You won’t see effects after just one day, but as you continue to use it week after week, month after month, and after three months, you will definitely notice them getting thicker and longer, so please continue using them!♡
