How Effective Is RenewLash?

RenewLash - At A Glance

RenewLash is a product manufactured by Metis, a company that supplies beauty professionals and salons. Although the product is featured on the sites of mainly skincare specialists, it is available to the general public through the internet also.

The Metis Professional website only features a very brief description of two of the company’s products, RenewLash and Renew Eyebrow Stimulators. The site is very stylish in appearance but seems to be quite new as many of the sections do not yet contain information.

According to the manufacturers, RenewLash is a ‘masterpiece’, designed to enhance the lashes and make them ‘pop’. Although it claims that this is not a typical eyelash enhancement product, it does not explain exactly what makes it different from the others available on the market. Unfortunately, despite the claims, Metis provides no clinical evidence that the product works and no instructions as to how it should be used. There are no customer testimonials and one professional ‘before and after’ shot.

RenewLash - Facts:
RenewLash is a blend of vitamins and peptides that enhance the eyelashes, making them fuller, longer and less likely to break. Although no ingredient list is shown for the product, in addition to the vitamins and peptides, it claims to contain active ingredients normally used to treat Glaucoma. While it doesn’t actually name this substance, it is probably something called Prostoglandin, which has actually been banned from over-the-counter products by the FDA. Side effects of using a product containing this substance can include a darkening of the eyelid skin, a change in iris pigmentation, dryness and itching of the eyes.

No application instructions are provided for RenewLash apart from the fact that it is to be applied daily along the base of the eyelashes, much like liquid eyeliner.

RenewLash - Negative Features:

• RenewLash may contain FDA-banned substances
• The details about the product are very sparse

• There are no independent consumer reviews available for the product

RenewLash – Conclusion

Although RenewLash appears to be a new product, the fact that so little information is available for it is worrying. Any product designed for use on or around the eyes needs to provide proof of safety and a full list of ingredients to show potential consumers. Although RenewLash is comparable in price to other eyelash enhancers on the market (at a cost of $120.00 per tube), it is unlikely to appeal to consumers due to the lack of information provided. Anyone deciding to try this product should certainly test it on an area of their skin first and, if used, only expect healthier, possibly stronger lashes rather than noticeable eyelash growth.
