Clinicians Bust Lash Growth Myths

Most lash advice is wrong.
And it could be costing you time, money, and even lash health.

I have spent over 10 years in healthcare as a prescribing pharmacist. I know how to read research, question it, and decide what actually works. Most brands? They just believe whatever the lab tells them.

Here’s what you need to know if you want longer, healthier lashes without the risk.


Myth 1: Lash Serums Work Overnight

Truth: Your lashes grow in cycles. Even the best formulas need 4–8 weeks to show real change. Overnight promises are designed to sell products fast, not deliver results.


Myth 2: More Product Means Faster Growth

Truth: Your lash follicles can only absorb so much. Overuse wastes product and increases irritation risk. One thin swipe per lash line, once daily, is enough.


Myth 3: All Lash Serums Are the Same

Truth: They are not. Many use prostaglandin analogs — synthetic hormone-like ingredients with known side effects.
Nuur Lash difference:

  • 100% prostaglandin-free

  • Preservative-free

  • Clinician-developed for sensitive eyes


Myth 4: Extensions Are Safer

Truth: Adhesives and weight damage your natural lashes over time. If you wear extensions, take breaks and rebuild lash health in between with a safe serum.


Myth 5: Oils Work Just as Well

Truth: Conditioning is not the same as stimulating growth. Castor oil can help condition, but it will not increase lash length or density like peptides and biotin can.


How to Choose a Serum That Works and Is Safe

  • Avoid prostaglandin analogs

  • Check for transparent formulation claims

  • Look for clinician-developed products tested for sensitive eyes

  • Be patient — real growth takes consistency


Others believe what they are told. We analyse, question, and only approve what the science supports.


Why Clinician-Developed Matters

Eye health is delicate. I built Nuur Lash to be safe enough for daily use and effective enough to deliver visible results — without risky ingredients.


Final Word

Stop wasting time and risking lash health with products built on myths. Choose a serum backed by clinical insight, proven ingredients, and a safety-first approach.
