First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study tested a serum made from ginger and turmeric extracts, along with growth factors, on 30 healthy women with thinning eyelashes. Participants applied the serum or a placebo twice daily for 8 weeks. Researchers measured eyelash density and length using a skin analysis system and also asked participants for their feedback.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- eyelash serum containing ginger-derived extracellular vesicles, turmeric-derived extracellular vesicles, insulin growth factor-1 (IGF-1), and fibroblast growth factor-7 (FGF-7)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this serum could offer a natural-looking way to improve eyelash density and length.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small trial (30 people) with no phase designation, so results may not apply to everyone. The active ingredients are experimental, and long-term safety is unknown.
