NYX's Grow Lash Serum is $25 for .15oz. I think this amount is larger then most serums.
They also have a separate product for brows but I think its the same formula just a different packaging. And a mascara and eyeliner.
I don't know why the ingredient listing is so long though. Its too bad all these lash serums don't list the % of actives.
Ingredients for Grow Lash Serum: Water, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17, Glycerin, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Niacinamide, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Rehmannia Chinensis Root Extract, Aspalathus Linearis Leaf Extract, Trehalose, Swertia Japonica Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract,
Carthamus Tinctorius(Safflower) Flower Extract, Butylene Glycol, Acorus Calamus Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra(Licorice) Root Extract,
Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract, Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Lycium Barbarum Fruit Extract, Potassium Sorbate, Maltodextrin, Sophora
Angustifolia Root Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Leaf Extract, Sorbic Acid, Lonicera Caprifolium (Honeysuckle) Flower Extract, Phenoxyethanol,
Panthenol, Biotin, Tocopherol, Arginine, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Sodium Chloride, Polysorbate 20, Citric Acid, Adenosine.

Wow! That is a long ingredient list!  I didn't recognize the last ingredient (Adenosine) so I googled it. It's an FDA regulated drug! So is this serum a prescription like Latisse? |

So I just googled "Adenosine Lashes" and like 10 different brands came up with this same identical long ingredient list. That's wierd! Why would all these different companies use the exact same ingredient list? I wonder what this Adenosine does? Hmmm....confusing!  |

Woah! Thanks for pointing that out. The ingredient list is so long it hard to notice all the ingredients.
I wonder how they can use that. Maybe its not regulated if its under a certian % ? |

I don't know but I think it's one of the strangest things I have seen used in a lash growth serum? |

| I agree! It is so wierd! Did you read the side effects? I don't understand what it would do for your lashes either. But then again, Latisse satrted as a glaucoma drug. Eyelash growth was an unexpected side effect. Maybe this drug has a similar effect on eyes? I don't know. But I'll let other people experiment with this one! |

LMAO, I read the side effects and I am with you not near my eyes! I haven't a clue what effect this drug has on lash growth or how it would work in that capacity! It really is "Off Label" use as I see it? I wonder if the FDA is on this one or not?  |

| I am going to stick with the natural eye lash serums. I still like PSF's Prolatogen eyelash serum. It won't give you the results of Latisse, but I do notice a difference and I don't have to worry about the side effects. |

| I wonder what the adenosine has to do with lashes too. It's for sinus and respiratory cells, isn't it? |

It seems to have a few valid medical uses, why it's in a lash serum is beyond me!
From the Wiki link:
. Thus, in regard to stress or injury, the function of adenosine is primarily that of cytoprotection preventing tissue damage during instances of hypoxia, ischemia, and seizure activity. Activation of A2A receptors produces a constellation of responses that in general can be classified as anti-inflammatory.[citation needed] |

I still like the Prolatogen too! I didn't expect drastic results like Latisse, but I was too afraid of the side effects with Latisse. But the Prolatogen results are consistant & definitely noticable. I don't know why adenosine is in the NYX serum either. It only stuck out to me on the ingredient list because I've never seen it in anything else & it piqued my curiosity.
What I find really odd is that several other brands have identical ingredient lists to the NYX, which baffles me completely. |

Just a thought, but maybe there is a large manufacturer making this particular brew and selling it for private labeling to all these companies that you came across doodlebug? It's pretty common practice with some smaller cosmetics companies.  |

Duh! That would make total sense, DarkMoon! I just thought it was bizarre that all these different manufacturers were copying each other's product & would be using that adenosine when it's such an odd ingredient to add to a cosmetic. LOL! DarkMoon to the rescue!

Isn't most of the NYX line made in Korea?
if it is a new product, maybe the government is not aware of it yet as no one has complained about it.
I'm sure if someone were to call FDA or Health Canada they would look into it if it is banned here.
The government is always pulling sport supplements of the shelf- esp ones made in Asian countries because of unlisted ingredients.
just read something about that today.
I do like the NYX eye shadow's I've tried, the mineral ones are good and cheap.
(well they were $1 when I got them on sale online).
I know of another eye serum not listed here.
But I will post about it separately. |
