'Best lash serum ever' with over 50K reviews has shoppers ditching false lashes
Shoppers can get the UKLash product for less when subscribing Thousands of shoppers are swearing by the 'best lash serum ever' and there's a way to get it for less. UKLash's Eyelash Enhancing Serum typically costs £38 but drops down to £30.40 when subscribing. The serum uses a number of ingredients to fortify lashes. Biotin peptide is used for its role in processing fatty acids and boosting their effectiveness which leads to stronger and fuller lashes. Green tea is also used for soothing skin and helping lashes grow. Panthenol, also known as vitamin B5, repairs, protects and nourishes the hair follicle while Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 is used for stimulating the production of Keratin - a viral protein for lash growth. There are other serums on the market, such as the £27 RapidLash Eyelash Enhancing Serum which has 585 five-star reviews on LookFantastic and Glow For It's £29.99 Lash Growth Serum. The latter has 1,175 reviews although it's hard to compete with the thousands on UKLash. UKLash's serum has pulled in an average rating of 4.8 out of five from over 51,000 reviews online. One shopper said: "I had little to no lashes when I started using this, not because of my lash extensions, but simply due to genetics. I've never had long, full lashes. After two months of consistent use, this serum absolutely works. I started noticing real results around the 4- to 6-week mark, definite length and even some volume improvement. "Of course, results can vary from person to person, but this has been a game-changer for me. I couldn't be happier with the difference it's made!" Another shopper wrote: " Best lash serum ever. I have been using this since early April (it's now May) and I have NOT gone back to lashes since, I used to never be able to go out the house without clusters and now all I have to do is chuck a little bit of mascara on and I'm set, this has had such fast results I'm genuinely in love! Please take this as your sign to cop!" One shopper found the serum a little uncomfortable to use, writing: "A little disappointed by how they make my eyes feel! I should have gotten the sensitive eye version since whenever I use it, my eyes get red and a bit stingy." There is a Sensitive Lash Growth Serum that has proven popular with shoppers although it has around 700 reviews rather than the thousands on the classic serum.

Six hot new lash treatments for summer 2025
When it comes to our lashes we've come a long way from just swiping on a bit of mascara. In recent years the fake look has become big business — although, happily, the current trend is more about low-maintenance effortlessness. On TikTok the masses go mad for lash growth serums: Glow For It made six figures in just 12 hours from a live shopping stream in April, while according to UKLash one of its lash serums is sold every 20 seconds globally. Lash lifts and extensions are also on the rise. The beauty app Secret Spa reports 60 per cent faster growth in lash treatments than any other category, including mani-pedis and waxing, while the UK trade body the Guild of Beauty Therapists says lash treatments are now the most popular salon services, with roughly 129,000 carried out a week. Lash extensions have come a long way from the 2010s (think Russian mink lashes, as seen on the cast of Geordie Shore). 'Lash technology and artistry have evolved. These days they're soft, subtle and undetectable, thanks to ultra-fine fibres that mimic the texture and movement of natural lashes,' says Asma Docrat, a celebrity lash artist whose clients include Mandy Moore and Lily Allen. 'By fully customising the length, curl, colour and weight of your lash extensions, they can look like your own, but on a really good day.' Whatever your vibe, there's a lash look for that. • Read more beauty product reviews and advice from our experts Slightly bolder and more glamorous, volume lashes will give you a seriously impactful flutter. 'Multiple lashes, or a cluster, are applied per natural lash to create more volume,' Docrat says. They look fluffier and fuller, but if you can't quite commit to drama, you can also get hybrid lashes. 'These are a mix of classic and volume for a more wispy effect,' she says. 'For the best results — and this goes for any type of lash extension — avoid caffeine before your appointment as it can make your eyes flutter, making precision work trickier.' Expect to pay £80-150 for a full set, and £60-80 for infills, which are needed every two to three weeks, depending on how well you take care of them. 'Avoid oil-based skincare,' Docrat says. 'Use lash-safe foaming cleansers to remove make-up around the eyes, and never use cotton wool pads.' Gently combing them through daily with a clean spoolie and sleeping on a silk pillowcase are also on her list of do's. • The best luxury lash serums Lynk-Gel lashes are the longest-lasting extensions, with only a handful of lash artists in the UK trained and certified by the company behind the process, Illumino. 'This clever new technique uses a safe, focused LED light to instantly 'cure' a gel-based adhesive, creating a bond between the extension and your natural lash that's as strong as it is flexible,' says Camilla Kirk-Reynolds, the A-list lash artist whose clientele include Naomi Campbell and Angelina Jolie. According to Kirk-Reynolds they can last for up to eight weeks (that explains the heftier price tag, usually sitting somewhere between £300 and £600 for a full set), plus there's no downtime — so you can jump in the shower or pool or wash your face straight away without a second thought. As with many beauty innovations, the Koreans are one step ahead. 'Instead of glueing lashes on to a curling shield [as for a traditional lash lift], the Korean method uses a healthier, lash-softening cysteamine-based paste,' explains Haya Alhoush, a British-based Korean lash lift educator. 'A two-step shield system creates the most natural and smooth curl. First, a flat shield softens the lashes, then a curved one perfects and sets the curl.' Lasting about eight weeks, it makes mascara redundant. The no-mascara make-up trend has been making the rounds, thanks to the cool girls of Instagram (hello, Hailey Bieber). Coloured lashes such as brown extensions add subtle length and volume without the starkness of black. 'They're softer, work for most skin tones and are undetectable but still make you look polished,' Docrat says. The barefaced aesthetic usually goes hand in hand with a great skincare routine, but Docrat recommends skipping eye creams, which can migrate to the lash line and affect your faux lashes' longevity. Like classic lashes, these cost anywhere between £100 and £200 for a full set, and should last up to three weeks. • This article contains affiliate links that can earn us revenue The trendy lot on TikTok and Instagram are getting 'anime lashes' that take their cue from manga characters. Think spiky, doll-like lashes that make eyes appear brighter and doe-eyed. 'Anime lashes use a variety of length and dimensions, with spaced-out, longer individual spikes that stand out among shorter, wispier lashes,' says the LA-based lash artist Alanah Sahaba, who counts Megan Thee Stallion as a client. 'To balance the look, you can also add bottom lashes, which makes eyes look wider.' A word of warning, though: 'You might be in the chair for up to three hours, as anime lashes are more intricate and detailed, so have your favourite podcast downloaded!' A full custom set will typically set you back anywhere from £100 to £200, and they should last three to four weeks before needing infills or removal. A slick of mascara is like a shot of espresso for the face: it instantly brightens and makes your make-up look, well, better. Imagine that — glossy, defined and sleek lashes — but without the effort of actually applying mascara every morning. 'Unlike classic lashes, which are designed to be softer and mimic individual natural hairs, wet-look lashes have a more dramatic, glossy finish and are usually spiked to perfectly mimic the look of freshly applied mascara,' Docrat says. The technique involves applying closed fans of multiple extensions to each natural lash. This creates those distinct, slightly clumped, high-shine spikes that give the illusion of lashes that are perpetually hydrated and freshly coated. As for volume lashes, expect to be in the chair for up to two hours. • Hello dollface: the 'glass skin' trend that's everywhere £38, looking sparse and thin and feeling brittle? This strengthening and lengthening serum will nourish lashes between treatments, but it's also great for anyone struggling with eyelash loss. It's so good, in fact, that users claim to see results in just four weeks. £18, scrap of oil, make-up, dust and dirt is removed with this gentle foaming cleanser that's packed with prebiotics to help keep bacteria at bay. Simply pump the foam on to the back of your hand, swirl through the cleansing brush, which is designed to get in between every lash, and softly massage into your lashes, brushing away from the root, before removing with a damp cotton pad. £2, from your fingers can break down the lash adhesive,' says Docrat, who recommends using a spoolie to comb through instead. This reusable one has supersoft bristles and comes with a lid to keep the brush dust-free. £66, with delicate lash extensions in mind, this celebrity fave, pure mulberry silk sleep mask has a contour on the inside for crease-free lashes while you snooze.@chanelleho The Sunday Times Style Beauty awards are back for 2025.

Hair growth serum leaving hairdressers 'really impressed' when 'nothing else works'
Dealing with fragile or thinning hair can be a significant blow to self-esteem, but there are numerous solutions available to help maintain strength and thickness. One such solution is the Women's Hair Growth Routine from Scandinavian Biolabs, a three-step kit that has been expertly tested and includes hair strength shampoo, hair recovery conditioner and bio-pilixin activation serum. These products work together and feature plant-based ingredients such as Capilia Longa, HotFlux, and Prodew 500, along with niacinamide, caffeine and zinc PCA, all designed to fortify hair and assist in reducing hair loss. Customers can currently save £30 on a one-month supply of this 4.4-star rated routine, now available for £66, down from £96. The routine has been specifically formulated to combat thinning while also nourishing the scalp and hair. Plus, it's entirely drug-free, and users have reported seeing results within 45 days. Alternatively, UKLash's Hair Growth Serum is available for a single purchase of £40. It contains AnaGainTM (pea sprout extract) combined with phytic acid and turmeric to help improve the condition of the scalp. Elsewhere, Boots offers the Nioxin Scalp + Hair Thickening System 2 for Natural Hair with Progressed Thinning, Trial Kit for £34.20. This kit includes niacinamide, biotin, and caffeine to support the roots of hair and hair follicles, helping hair to feel thicker. But customers have been singing the praises of Scandinavian Biolabs' three-step hair care routine, with one commenting: "I've tried many natural remedies, but nothing has worked as well as this! My hair looks much healthier and more alive, and I've noticed a lot of new baby hairs growing in. At first, they are white, but over time, they darken. I'm really happy with the results so far and will definitely continue using it. Highly recommend!" Another customer shared: "I've been using shampoo, conditioner and serum now for about 8 weeks. Feeling good about the results so far. Not losing as much hair and my hairdresser was very impressed with the amount of regrowth I have. Will definitely continue to use these products and recommend to friends. Any questions I have had were answered very quickly, wonderful customer service." One user expressed satisfaction with the quality despite not reaching the anticipated results yet, stating: "I've been using the shampoo, conditioner and serum daily for 44 days as yet to notice a reduction in shedding or new growth but I have subscribed and I'm going to continue as the products are lovely to use." In contrast, another user was optimistic about the changes they've witnessed: "Only one month in but my hair feels softer and less frizzy and maybe even looks less thin nearer the roots – positive so far." For those on the hunt for a product that enriches the scalp and hair follicles while promoting thicker, fuller hair, the three-step hair growth regimen has a 33% discount on the Scandinavian Biolabs website.

Beauty buffs credit 'miracle' serum for 'longer and thicker' lashes
The viral beauty product has had thousands of five-star reviews as users say it gives 'great results' Beauty buffs are crediting an eyelash growth serum for its effective and timely results. UKLash is a brand that has been trending on TikTok for a while, mostly due to its hero product, the Lash Growth Serum. Priced at £38, the beauty product promises to accelerate 'ultimate lash length and faster growth'. It is made with ingredients such as vitamin B5 (panthenol), green tea extract, and myristoyl pentapeptide-17, an amino acid peptide known for stimulating keratin growth. The best-selling serum has more than 51,000 customer reviews and an overall customer satisfaction rating of 4.8. Similarly, RapidLash's Eyelash Enhancing Serum is a popular alternative, costing £28. The brand promises visible results in up to eight weeks, and is ideal for brittle, thin, pale or short lashes. Elsewhere, No7 does an Eyelash Impact Serum (£17.95), which has been formulated to help shoppers get visibly fuller, thicker and darker lashes. Back to the Lash Growth Serum, one customer said: "You have to be patient, but the results are fabulous. I had short, stubby eyelashes for years, but after just a few weeks of using the product, my lashes were longer and thicker. "I even had to stop using mine for a while as my lashes grew so long that they were touching my glasses! This is definitely a product I will use forever." A second added: "I found this to be the perfect solution for thin eyelashes. Great results in only a few weeks." A third wasn't as pleased, writing: "Doesn't work, I've not seen any growth since August when I bought it." A fourth added: "I'm 65 and had sparse eyelashes until I started using this miracle worker. I read the reviews and honestly didn't believe the hype. I was wrong." They continued: "My upper, and more miraculously, my lower lashes have improved. Believe the hype, you'll be amazed."
