The Science Behind MaxeyLash®: How to Achieve Longer-Looking Lashes With Lash Serum

Your eyes pop. Your face looks fresh. You feel confident. We all know the power of a bold eyelash, right? 

If you want lashes that grab attention, you’ve got options: mascara, extensions, or lash serum (or a combination of all three!). One of these, however, changes your look by working with your body’s natural processes: lash serum. Serums have become a popular and natural solution for longer-looking lashes, but just like with any beauty or health product, not all are created equal. 

Here at Maxey Cosmetics, we’re obsessed with formulating safe and effective products based on science. Our signature lash serum has been helping people achieve the bolder look they want since 2007. Let’s dive into how lash serum works and why MaxeyLash® performs wonders for our customers.

What Is Lash Serum?

But first things first. What exactly is lash serum?

Lash serum is a topical solution formulated to enhance the appearance and health of eyelashes. It’s usually applied once a day on the top eyelid at the lash line (like eyeliner). A lightweight and clear product, lash serum isn’t makeup, but rather a beauty treatment. 

Here are some benefits you can expect when using a high-quality lash serum:

• Enhanced appearance
• Stronger lashes
• Less shedding

Because lash serum works at a foundational level,  on the follicles and lashes themselves, any mascara or extensions you use on top of that can be even more effective. But many people find the serum is enough by itself!

How Lash Serum Works

To understand just how lash serum works, you need to first understand the lash growth cycle. Here’s how it breaks down:

1. Anagen phase. Active growth phase that lasts four to 10 weeks.
2. Catagen phase. Transition phase where the lash stops growing and prepares to shed that lasts two to three weeks.
3. Telogen phase. Waiting phase where the lash rests and eventually falls out (sheds) that lasts up to three months.

Cosmetic scientists formulate lash serums to extend the anagen phase, giving your lashes more time before reaching the shedding phase. Other ingredients in serums can provide additional benefits. Some examples include:

• Peptides. Stimulate keratin production and support hair growth.
• Botanical extracts. Soothe and nourish delicate skin around the eye.
• Vitamins (like biotin and panthenol). Strengthen follicles and reduce breakage.

With an array of nourishing ingredients that extend the growth cycle and condition the follicles, serums can enhance your lashes without compromising their health.

Introducing MaxeyLash®: What Sets it Apart

As we mentioned before, we really like backing our products with scientific research. In fact, our founder, Kirk Maxey, is a research scientist! It’s our mission to develop products that will perform effectively and safely.

Plain and simple: we don’t use ingredients with questionable safety data or those that cause prolonged irritation or long-term harm. We work closely with and rely on the knowledge and expertise of formulators and manufacturers who specialize in cosmetic science.

Our Main Active Ingredient 

A synthetic prostaglandin analog, dehydrolatanoprost, is our star active ingredient, and it sets us apart from other lash serums. Before we get into the benefits of dehydrolatanoprost, let’s take a moment for a quick science lesson.

A prostaglandin is a hormone-like fatty acid that the body produces to act as a messenger, regulating all sorts of bodily functions, from pain signaling to blood clotting to labor induction and more. 

A synthetic prostaglandin analog is simply a lab-formulated version of the lipid compound. Using a lab-based ingredient means that cosmetic scientists can have more control over the compound’s stability, duration of action, and target area.

Dehydrolatanoprost is a messenger specifically designed for communicating with hair follicles. Remember that extended anagen phase? That’s dehydrolatanoprost’s job. It enhances eyelashes, appearing to lengthen lashes with a low risk of irritation.

Benefits of Using MaxeyLash®

We combine dehydrolatanoprost with other high-quality and effective ingredients to create a powerful formula for your lashes. Here are some reasons our customers keep coming back to MaxeyLash®:
