Eyelash growth products may pose risks to the eyes and skin. If eyelash growth serums enter the eyes, they can cause significant discomfort and a foreign-body sensation, often leading to eye redness or stinging. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid using eyelash growth serums. Instead, consider safer alternatives such as applying mascara or undergoing eyelash extensions to achieve longer-looking lashes.
