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

This stuff is amazing. I’ve always had semi long eyelashes and would use latisse to make them long and fuller. Latisse is so expensive. I stopped using it. Then, I hit the perimenopause stage and my eyelashes shrunk to stumps. On a whim, I bought this and holy cow!! In just a few weeks (using it nightly) my eyelashes are just as long and fuller as they looked with latisse. I am so happy I bought this. In fact, I bought several more to have on hand. I recommend this 100%.

I was a little skeptical on buying this product, but after reading the reviews (and seeing the affordable price) I decided to go for it. My lashes are very short and even with mascara, they're not very visible. I've been using this for a week - twice per day as opposed to the overnight suggestion... A light application in the morning, a thicker application at night. So far I've noticed that my lashes are darker, have thickened a little and have grown longer. It's been only week one and the results so far look very promising. I'm excited to see the results at the one month mark.Cons: It leaves a white residue on your lashes (not too noticeable though) and it can be a little tricky to apply.It doesn't irritate my eyes at all. I've gotten it in my eyes and it doesn't burn or sting. Overall, I would highly recommend this product.*** UPDATE: I've been using this product for close to a year now. This is my 4th or 5th bottle and my lashes and eyebrows have filled in and have never looked better! Love my eyebrows :) Use a light coat, curl your eyebrows and apply your favorite mascara for best effects!Just a heads up: This is a slow process and it may not work for everyone. If you want natural and healthy looking lashes/brows, give this a try. It takes time and patience to see growth. If you're expecting results right away or dramatic changes, you might want to shell out more money for Lilash or Latisse. I'm happy with this product and will be ordering more.

Double-Lash legitimately has made a difference in my naturally dark, relatively long, but somewhat sparse lashes. After about a month of twice-daily use (once in the morning and once at night), my lashes do appear thicker and blacker. The bottom lashes are also noticeably longer. You apply Double-Lash with the mascara wand-like applicator-- I use it on the outer parts of my eyelashes as well as my eyebrows. A sparse area on one of my eyebrows is also filling in with the use of this serum. The main ingredient is snail secretion filtrate, which is rich in a variety of nutrients, followed by magnesium. The serum is clear, but if you use too much (like 3 brush-throughs or more), there will be a whitish film left on your lashes. I use this in the morning under mascara with no issues. I've used Latisse in the past, and this serum, at least for me, exceeds the results of Latisse, although I would suggest Latisse for abnormally short or extremely sparse lashes. Double-Lash also does not have the unwanted side effects of eye-area darkening that some people experience with Latisse (as a side note, actual darkening of the iris itself with Latisse is rare, but apparently possible). This is really a great deal for an eyelash serum that truly enhances and amplifies normal lashes. Highly recommend.

On the left is the new one I ordered and on the right is the old one I had. I believe this might not be the original (left). The one on the right I used for 1 month and gave good results and now I’m skeptical about the new one I bought

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.
