Customer Review: It Does Seem to Be Helping A Friend, and Me, a Bit
Summary: 3 Stars
L'Oreal Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum is a new product from the French cosmetics giant that claims to be a breakthrough in promoting natural lash health. It is their first eyelash serum, and they claim it will fortify, nourish, and strengthen lashes with daily use. The firm states that it has been ophthalmologist and allergy tested, and is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. They suggest that it be used twice a day, before applying mascara in the morning - although you should allow this product to dry before the application of the mascara; and at night, on clean lashes, after having removed your makeup.
As a younger woman, I used to have a nervous habit of pulling out my eyelashes, as a result of which my upper eyelids have been almost bare of lashes: and I think that, in addition, older women just naturally may lose their lashes. Every now and then, I would use expensive, French, Talika products that were then the only eyelash help available: they are old products, dating from World War II, when they were developed to help flyers with serious burns, and I found they did help slightly. So as soon as Latisse was introduced, I did rush off to get some from my dermatologist. And my eyelashes did, indeed, quickly start to grow longer and fuller. I was thrilled. But there are problems with Latisse. You must get it by prescription, from a dermatologist. It is very expensive, $100 for a small bottle. It is awkward to apply, with those silly little brushes. Worse yet, it made my eyelids red, and they stung - I was looking forward to finishing the little bottle, and ending the treatment. And then, worst of all, I discovered that, like Rogaine, you could only keep the eyelash regrowth by continuing to apply the product every other night forever. And that I was totally unwilling to do. So I watched the regrowth fade away.
Obviously, therefore, I was more than ready to try this new L'Oreal product. I've only been using it about a week, and I believe I see some improvement already. So does a younger friend who independently decided to try it at the same time as me, we'd had a conversation about it. Needless to say, it is much cheaper and easier to get hold of than Latisse. I am not experiencing the redness, or stinging, of my eyelids that I did with the Latisse. It is much easier to apply than the Latisse, as it comes with a patent pending nice soft curved applicator, similar to a mascara wand.
I do, however, have some problems with L'Oreal. The giant chemical company that owns this brand and many others collaborated with the Nazis during World War II. So I more or less boycotted them for many years. Then, years ago, I was chatting with a nurse about skin care products for some reason, and I said that, despite myself, I'd been using Lancome products, because they were helpful. She said that Lancome was too expensive for her, so she used L'Oreal--it also owns Lancome, in hopes that she was getting cheaper formulations of the same products. Now that I have retired and have to live on a fixed income, Lancome is getting very expensive for me, and I am remembering the nurse's words, and trying L'Oreal products, so far with good results.
Of course, L'Oreal has also been in the news again recently, and not for any good reason. The billionaire 87-year old owner of L'Oreal, Madame Liliane Bettancourt, the richest woman in France and Europe, and one of the richest in the world, is being sued by her estranged daughter, Francoise Meyers-Bettencourt. Her daughter is alleging in a civil lawsuit that celebrity photographer Francois-Marie Banier, a 63-year-old socialite dandy, has tricked her elderly mother out of art masterpieces, cash and insurance policies worth $1.25 billion. And I sure hate to be contributing my retiree's mite to this nest of vipers.
However, it does seem that L'Oreal Concentrated Lash Boosting Serum is helping my friend, and me, a bit. What can a poor girl do?
