Do Lash or Eyebrow Growth Serums Really Work After 50?
Somewhere around my 50s, the lashes and brows I took for granted started to thin out. Can anyone relate?! Hormones, age, even years of tweezing, it all adds up. The beauty industry swears that lash and brow serums can help, but do they really work once you’re past 50? The short answer is: yes, some can, but results vary depending on the formula and your own hair growth cycle. Here are a few of the most popular options.
As with all beauty and skincare, I suggest starting slowly. With a lash serum, wipe off the excess, and apply only a small amount. If you experience any irritation, skip a day or two and try even less the next time. It can take a few days before your lashes adapt.
Lash Boost Eyelash Enhancing Conditioning Serum
Lash Boost is the serum I have used since 2016! I’ve had people stop me in elevators to ask about my lashes, so I can tell you that it worked great for me. It’s formulated to be gentle, which makes it a good choice for mature women who want to avoid irritation.
- Conditions brittle lashes
- Gentle formula
- Lashes look fuller over time
- Great for daily use

So, do lash and brow serums work after 50? The answer is yes -with patience. Castor oil is a natural, budget-friendly way to condition hair, while peptide-based serums like GrandeLASH or Rodan + Fields can deliver more dramatic results. Just remember, most serums take a couple of months to really show changes, so consistency is key.

Lash Boost by Rodan + Fields is absolutely the best!!! Unfortunately the formula is too strong for my sensitive eyes.
🙂 So many varieties of lash serums available. Thanks for all your recommendations.
Found it! Loved the outfits modeled by your daughter in law. I’m petite too and have a hard time finding anything that fits from Amazon. J Jill is my go to.
:)I use a prescription lash serum and it has given me gorgeous lashes over time. After the initial growth it can be applied a few days a week for maintenance, making it much more cost effective. I’m interested in the brow serums, my lash one only seems to work on lashes.
I will have to get some of those things you recommended my eyelashes are getting thin Thank you
☺️maybe I need to rethink this and try some of the newer ones!
😊 Interesting post. My eyebrows and eyelashes have definitely changed with age.
😀 First…I learned something new today. Castor oil can be used for hair, lashes, brows, holy smokes! Thank you for sharing and the teaching moment😇
🙂I use a lash serum, but didn’t know this about castor oil.
🙂 I might have to try the Grand lash after comments I read. I used to use the Lashboost, but after I got notification they had a class action lawsuit filed against the company because of some of the chemicals used in it, I stopped using it.
The lawsuit wasn’t over chemicals, it was over labeling. Since Lash Boost isn’t a prescription, they said they didn’t have to include some kind of a label, and the other side said they did.
