Rapid Lash Eyelash Renewal Serum
by
Regular readers know by now that prostaglandins are drugs used to treat glaucoma that have the adorable side effect of making eyelashes grow like weeds. Less adorable side effects include irritation, impaired vision and the eyes may even change color (from blue to brown or vice versa). This controversial ingredient has been removed from some of the leading eyelash growth products, such as Jan Marini's new Marini Lash.
Again, like Neulash, Rapid Lash has added in a couple of peptides. However, I haven't been able to find any link to hair or lash growth for polypeptide 23 or octapeptide 2. Rapid Lash also has hydrolized glycosaminoglycans. This inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, preventing the conversion of testosterone to dihydroxytestosterone. I can see that this might be helpful with male balding, but I'm not sure that it will have much impact on lashes since they aren't impacted by testosterone and estrogen levels.
On the other hand, there is some evidence that copper tripeptide-1 improves hair growth by strengthening the follicle and speeding up the growth cycle. Indeed, I have used Folligen, a copper peptide lotion on hair and lashes with great success.
All in all, whether you try this (given that it is likely to make your lashes grow) depends on how you feel about prostaglandins. Isopropyl cloprostenate may, for all I know, be a completely safe version. But I personally won't be trying it until Rapid Lash shows me the results of their independently conducted trials.

Just a reminder-we now have AQ eyelash too! Can't wait to try this myself. I did use two tubes of Hydropeptide and I found it conditioning but nothing that noticeable. I have long lashes but really wanted volume. I am excited about AQ since Marta tried it herself and it worked.

If I am not mistaken, RapidLash now uses a formula with no prostaglandins or like ingredients.

Hi I am going slowly but surely with Hydropeptide (TIA store-second tube). Here is a response from them after I asked re results-I am sharing it as it may be useful to others trying as I am to boost my post-menopausal lashes!Hello Michele,
"The typical results that can be seen from HydroPeptide Lash is an increase in fullness first and then length. In clinical studies, within the first 2 weeks, a 25% increase in eye lash length was seen on most the participants with just one of the active ingredients within HydroPeptide Lash. By 12 weeks, you should see the full increase in length with the product but as you continue to use the product, you will continue to see a fullness and healthiness to the Lashes. Your lashes typically grow, get brittle, break off, and then grow again. Lash will help promote an extended growth phase of the lashes and brows than normal. Typically the lash anagen (growth) phase is 45 days but with HydroPeptide lash, you can extend this phase. Eventually, you will have some hair turnover but this is natural. If you were to discontinue HydroPeptide lash, your hair growth would return to a shorter anagen phase.
What people comment they love most about HydroPeptide lash is that the lashes are fuller and look healthier. Many have used other lash products and saw length in just a few lashes that looked "spidery" and "twisted". You do not get this look with HydroPeptide lash. You get great, healthy-looking fullness but not ultra-dramatic length."

My results with Rapid Lash were the same as Inga and her 2 friends. My opinion is that Rapid Lash is not worth purchasing!

When I first used Rapidlash, I had fabulous results with no side effects. After the second vial, however, I noticed that hair growth regressed and no amount of serum has given back the long, full lashes i had after vial no. 1. Two friends who also used the product reported the same disappointing experience.
