The eyelash serum from Kruidvat is flying off the shelves. It would give you longer lashes, but there are also reports that the serum can change your eye color. How about that?
The active ingredient in the Kruidvat serum, but also in many other eyelash serums, is bimatoprost. Bimatoprost is also used in eye drops for the eye disease glaucoma. Years ago it was discovered that long eyelashes are a side effect of bimatoprost. As a result, it has become increasingly popular as an ingredient in eyelash serum in recent years.
Several doctors confirm that the ingredient bimatoprost can darken your eye color by stimulating the production of pigment. One study is mentioned in which nearly 700 people use a serum containing bimatoprost. A slight discoloration in the eyes was seen in two participants.
You apply an eyelash serum to the edge above your eyelashes. When used correctly, the serum will not get into your eye. The chance of discoloration is small, but it is possible.
