Is Castor Oil The Secret To Longer Lashes? Dermatologist Weighs In

[skincarerainbow]

I know there is no scientific evidence but it helped my brows tremendously. I used it consistently for 5 months

I agree with you they appear fuller but they do not grow thicker or longer. I have tried during 2 years. I think the oil or any oil protect them from breakage and when you put mascara on they grow longer because they will break later than without the oil. Also the oil makes the lashes look darker given them temporary a fuller effect. I stopped because I was tired of having blurry vision just before bed.

I agree with Dr. Dray that there's no study/evidence based proof on this, 100%. BUT, I will say that I used castor oil on my lashes for 2 years and they were longer and fuller than any other time in my life. Then, I ran out of the oil and just forgot to buy more 😖, and my lashes haven't grown as well since. I actually have it on my list of skin care products to buy this month. 😅

I used it on a bald spot on my brows and in a month the bald spot was gone, so yeah it works

[blancadejesus]

Actually it works!!! I am testimony of that.

[SolomonGriffen]

No clinical evidence doesn't mean it doesn't work just so everyone knows. We heavily talk about retinoids peptides and sunscreen nowadays but 10 years ago there was no research proving it. If it works for you, keep doing it!

I know there's mixed opinions and a lot of people believe it works, but I'm leaning more with you. I used to use castor oil for lash growth before I knew much about skincare, and it did help. My lashes looked really good when I was using it.

When I ran out, I got lazy and stopped buying it, and while I could tell my lashes weren't as healthy and they were falling out more easily, I've always had good lashes overall, so I kept forgetting since I wasn't experiencing a major, major loss or anything. (Enough to notice they didn't look as good, but not so bad I felt like I had to do something about it.)

But then I watched someone that mentioned you can bring most skincare around the eye area, besides acne treatments and products that say not to use them around the eye area. I began to do that; and now my lashes are back to the way they were when I used castor oil! Super healthy and not nearly as much falling out.
So if you can handle it and the products are safe for the eye area, I believe a lot of skincare in general can help the eyelashes. (Yes I use eye cream, even before I used castor oil. I never quite got those results with eye cream alone for some reason.)

I think the best thing I’ve done for my lashes is going without mascara most days, honestly! 4 days at least out of the week, I don’t apply mascara. When I do, I’m as gentle as possible when removing it and applying an oil or serum to my lash line afterwards.

The brief stints I’ve gone wearing mascara every day is when my lashes tend to look the shortest and break/fall out the most 😶

[NewHealthSecrets-jnyn]

I used it on my hair and ir grew A LOT!! I use a mix of Castor Oil, coconut oil, rosemary and star anise. It really works!!

[Novaleejune]

It’s made my eyebrows almost twice as thick after using faithfully for about a year.

Happy Thursday Dr Dray excited to be here. Thanks for sharing this info have a good night.

[WarmestComputer]

Would not risk the possible damage to the eyeball by putting it on my lashes. One risk is permanent chronic dry eye. Dr. Dray has another stitched short about this. I would try my eyebrows though.

[NolasClaudia]

Yes. I’ve tried it but I used to hate it when it filmed over my eye.

[Lisette]

Yes it works, Castor oil grew back my thinning hair part. Don’t know about lashes but will research it.

Castor oil is amazing for eyebrows, eyelashes and for your skin!!! When I use it I add a little squalene oil to make it easier to apply.

[andrea.andreas]

I use green tea, I SWEAR IT WORKS, It grew my lashes longer IN DAYS I swear to God!! I apply some of it at least 3 to 5 times a day.
I wanted to try castor oil at first but I was scared of irritations, though I did put some on my brows and honestly I think it kinda DID make them look a bit fuller

[Demetttttt]

Even though i didn't believe it definitely worked for me. I did a diy lash lift at home and i burned my lashes. A part of my lashes did not grow back for 2 years. Then i used castor oil for a month and my long and thick lashes came back. It did not make them longer but i got my original lashes back

[tuheq]

i will try castor oil but let me tell you: during 2020-2022 i stopped wearing mascara and my lashes were beautiful, fuller than ever. maybe take a break from mascara from time to time

80% of this comments section does not know the difference between an invalidation of personal experience and a correction of the ANALYSIS of that experience. The video explains that you aren't actually GROWING MORE LASHES (because no oil does that), but that the oil is preventing breakage by creating a protective barrier and making the lashes LOOK thicker by coating them.
