Description
The active ingredient in the 8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum is soluble CD83. That was a deliberate choice. Prostaglandins and prostaglandin analogues are common in the lash serum market but are currently under review by several regulatory authorities, because they can cause serious side effects: dark circles that do not reverse and iris discoloration that is permanent.
The eye area does not handle a long ingredient list well. Most people have noticed this themselves at some point. Fewer ingredients means fewer triggers for irritation, which is why checking the ingredient list of any lash serum is worth doing: the shorter, the better.
The 8T3 Essentials Lash & Brow Serum contains no prostaglandins and no hormones.
