Effective pharmacy products for eyelash growth

For eyelash growth, pharmacies offer a wide variety of drugs. It can be inexpensive products, and higher-cost ointments for quick eyelash strengthening, and much more.

Pharmacy products for eyelash growth are indicated in the presence of the following negative factors.

1. Long-term use of low-quality cosmetics for applying and removing makeup. It contains active substances that lead to the death of the cells of the hair follicle of the eyelash or atrophy of the bulb. If you do not remove makeup for a long time or violate the rules of makeup remover, a similar effect is possible.
2. Vitamin deficiency. An unbalanced diet provokes a slowdown in eyelash growth, their loss, and hormonal imbalance.
3. The presence of an allergic reaction to cosmetic formulations. With a hereditary predisposition, individual intolerance to makeup products is possible: mascara, creams, micellar water. In this case, the hair follicles become inflamed, which leads to the loss of eyelashes.
4. Hormonal imbalance: pregnancy, thyroid damage, improper medication, menopause.
5. Cosmetic procedures: perm, eyelash extensions. In the first case, the hair roots get a mechanical injury. With weekly curls, eyelashes fall out. Growth involves the use of glue, causing cell death and atrophy of the bulbs.
6. Stress and emotional upheaval. Causes damage to the bulbs and hair loss. A similar effect is observed with infectious and inflammatory diseases: blepharitis, dacryocystitis, conjunctivitis.

Eyelash loss occurs with chemotherapy and antifungal medications. In the first case, drugs that are highly toxic to the body are used. To support the growth of eyelashes, the use of non-hormonal medications based on vitamins is allowed. When taking antifungal drugs, the level of cholesterol in the blood, which is responsible for the development of hair follicles, is reduced. Eyelashes thin out and fall out.

In case of impaired growth and development of hairs should not solve the problem of artificial buildup. You must try to independently restore the health of eyelashes.

To strengthen the structure of eyelashes and increase their growth rate, various methods are used - compresses, masks, massages, essential oils. The most effective are funds sold in pharmacies. Drugs can completely replace the therapeutic effect of folk formulations.

Beauticians categorize funds into 2 main categories.

1. Hormonal As an active compound that has a stimulating effect on the eyelashes, prostaglandin is used. The substance belongs to the lipid type, is synthesized by the soft tissues of the body, accelerates the growth of eyelashes, increasing their number.
2. Non-hormonal. They are considered safer to use, since they do not affect the hormonal background. Therefore, such compositions are hypoallergenic, do not cause pigmentation of the cornea and skin around the eyes. Non-hormonal agents include vitamins, formulations based on plant extracts, essential oils, peptides and amino acids.

The effectiveness of both groups of drugs is equivalent. Hormonal and non-hormonal drugs are available in various forms. The therapeutic effect depends on the use of bio compounds. According to the form of release, different types of funds are allocated:

• air conditioners;
• activators;
• balms;
• oils;
• serum;
• solutions;
• emulsions.

In special cases, the use of pharmacy products as a basis for makeup is allowed. In this situation, drugs reduce the negative effect of using cosmetics, protect the skin of the eyelids from damage.

Hormonal drugs have a quick stimulating effect on the eyelashes and are considered more effective.. The active compounds increase the active phase of eyelash growth, being its stimulants, and prevent premature hair loss.
