It 100% works!!
My itty bitty lashes almost doubled in length after using this for 3 months! It absolutely does work! The only concern is that I think it caused some eczema in the corner of my eye that hasn't gone away. There are also a couple articles out there that details out some concerns about the ingredients in this product. I've stopped using it since, but I hope I can find something just as effective without the questionable ingredients.
