Lashes play a crucial role in makeup application- completing and defining the look of the eyes. Over the years, the use of eyelash extensions has only grown and the trend for naturally full, beautiful lashes has become one of the biggest in the beauty industry. However, not everyone is blessed with naturally thick and long lashes, which has created a demand for products that can help, such as lash serums.

Lash serums, like the Revive7 Lash Serum, which has been on the market since 2012, enhance the volume, length and thickness of lashes with daily use. This serum features seven nutrient rich ingredients, including hyaluronic acid, collagen, and pumpkin seed extract—all formulated to help lengthen, strengthen and create healthier natural lashes.

Your Lashes Deserve a Little Extra Love

Eyelash serums have become a go-to for women who want to improve their natural lashes without using extensions or fake lashes. These serums work by conditioning and nourishing lashes from root to tip—resulting in the potential to have healthier, more resilient, and more vibrant lashes that are less prone to breakage.

Your eyelashes become healthier, less prone to breakage, and more vibrant. Some serums-- such as the one by Revive7, have the potential to show results in as little as 7 to 28 days. Beyond length, these serums are helpful as they can also:

  1. Enhance the texture and curl
  2. Offer a natural alternative, especially for those looking for longer and fuller lashes.
  3. Thickness and fullness 
  4. More affordable than lash extensions 

What Happens When You Stop Using Your Lash Serum?

Many people wonder what happens when they stop using a lash serum. Will the magic disappear? Just like with any beauty product, discontinuing use will have some effects. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Gradual Change in Lash Appearance

When you stop using the serum, your lashes will slowly return to their natural state. Over time, they may start to:

a). Look less full

b). Lose some of their length.

c). Become a bit lighter in colour. 


2. Potential Lash Shedding

Lash serums help strengthen lash follicles, so when you stop using them, you might notice some lash shedding. Please understand that is completely normal! We tell all our customers and clients that your lashes go through a natural shedding cycle and without the serum’s support, you might see a few more lashes falling out.

3. Changes in Texture and Curl

Without the conditioning benefits of the serum, your lashes may lose some of their enhanced curl and smooth texture. This means that you might feel they seem a bit more brittle or rough– making them look less polished overall.

4. No Drastic Side Effects

The good news? There are no harmful side effects from stopping the use of a lash serum that does not contain prostaglandins. You’re just likely to see a slow shift back to how your lashes were before you started using the product!

Consistency is Key for Luscious Lashes

If you love the look of fuller, longer lashes, it's essential to stay committed to your lash serum routine. Beyond just enhancing length and fullness, serums like Revive7 help protect lashes from breakage and support their overall health. Consistent use can lead to:

  • Maintaining Length and Fullness: Keep enjoying the longer, fuller lashes you've grown to love.
  • Preventing Lash Breakage: Less breakage means healthier, stronger lashes that stay put longer.
  • Enhancing Overall Appearance: Continued use keeps your lashes looking lush with a natural curl and smooth texture.

The Bottom Line: To Serum or Not to Serum?

If you're happy with your natural lashes and prefer a temporary boost, taking a break from your serum regimen is perfectly fine. However, if you enjoy the look of long, healthy lashes, continuing your routine with a trusted product like Revive7 Lash Serum is worth it.
