The Best Eyelash Growth Serums for Women Over 50
One of the most surprising changes that comes with age has nothing to do with wrinkles or gray hair—it’s your eyelashes. They get thinner. They get shorter. They get lighter. And no one really talks about this beforehand.
You don’t notice it all at once. It happens gradually, until one day your mascara stops making much of a difference and your eyes look almost bald.
For me, that moment was jarring. My lashes hadn’t just thinned out—some had disappeared altogether.
Lashes do more than we give them credit for. They frame your eyes, add contrast, and make them stand out. When lashes thin out, the whole eye area can look flatter and more tired, even if the rest of your makeup hasn’t changed.
Thankfully, lash serums can help strengthen thinning lashes and improve fullness over time. Below are some of the highest-rated options—many I’ve tried myself.
1. Grande Lash
This is one of everyone’s favorites. It just works. If your lashes have thinned out and mascara isn’t cutting it anymore, Grande Lash serum helps bring them back to life—longer, fuller, and more noticeable.
You swipe it once a day at night and forget about it. Results don’t happen overnight, but within a month or so, you’ll start to see your lashes again. By three months, the difference is obvious.
Why I like it: reliable, easy, and you can choose a smaller size if you want to try it first.
Price: $36–$125, depending on size
2. neuLash
If your lashes break easily or fall out halfway through growing, the nutrient-rich neuLash Enhancing Serum is a good option. It’s more about conditioning and strengthening than lengthening lashes, so they can actually stay long, not just grow and snap off.
This one feels a bit more “treatment-like,” but if your lashes are fragile, it’s worth it.
Why it’s good: helps lashes grow and stay put
Price: $95
3. City Beauty City Lash Serum
If you already love City Beauty products, this fits right in. It’s gentle and works especially well if your lashes look sparse or patchy.
This one takes a little more commitment because you apply it twice a day, but the payoff is fuller-looking lashes that make mascara look better again.
Why I like it: good for thin, uneven lashes
Price: $90
4. Babe Lash
This vegan and cruelty-free Serum is one of the best bang-for-your-buck serums out there. Babe Lash Serum is under $50, doesn’t cause redness around the eyes, and works in just 6 weeks, while other serums can take 12.
Bonus: it can make lashes look a bit darker, too, which is huge once lashes start fading with age.
Why it’s a favorite: affordable, gentle, and effective
Price: $49.99
5. Rodan & Fields Lash Boost Eyelash Enhancing + Conditioning Serum
Rodan + Fields is a female dermatologist-founded skincare brand that started as an acne-focused solution-based skincare brand but has evolved to offer a full line of products. And one of those products is Lash Boost Eyelash Enhancing Serum.
This one is expensive—no way around it—but many women swear by it. If you want fuller lashes and don’t mind the splurge, it does deliver. That said, I don’t think you have to spend this much to see results. This is more of a “luxury option.”
Why you’d choose it: you want results, and budget isn’t an issue
Price: $153
6. DIME Beauty Eyelash Boost Serum
If you’re into clean beauty and want something affordable, this is a nice option. DIME’s Eyelash Boost is gentle and easy to use. It’s made with safe, non-toxic ingredients that really work. Use daily for the lash boost you want or apply to thinning brows!
Not flashy, just solid and dependable.
Why it’s appealing: clean ingredients, reasonable price
Price: $43
7. PrimeLash
Here’s another serum I’ve used and have seen very favorable results with. Not only did PrimeLash give me fuller, longer lashes, but they also looked a bit lifted—which helps, since my lashes are starting to droop with age.
It’s simple, inexpensive, and easy to stick with.
Why I like it: lashes look longer and more awake
Price: $37
8. Benefit Whoop Lash
If you are in search of long, lush lashes but your eyes are sensitive, and everything makes them water or burn, then Benefit’s Whoop Lash serum is a good choice. It uses plant extracts, rice proteins, and vitamins,s not harsh chemicals, so it is gentle and conditioning, not aggressive.
Results take a little longer, but it’s a good option if irritation has been an issue for you.
Why it works: kind to sensitive eyes
Price: $52
9. Neutrogena Healthy Lash + Brow Enhancer Serum
If you’re unsure if a lash serum is right for you and you’re not ready to make a big financial commitment, you can always try a budget one like the Neutrogena Healthy Lash Serum. This Serum contains peptides and biotin that boost and enhance your lashes’ natural look. The fine-tip brush makes application easy, and with regular nightly applications, you’ll see results in as little as 4 weeks.
Think of this as a test drive.
Why it’s useful: cheap, simple, no commitment
Price: $13
10. Revive7 Revitalizing Lash Serum
If patience isn’t your thing, Revive7 Lash Serum works faster than most, delivering results in 7-28 days. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free, if that matters to you.
Why it stands out: quicker results
Price: $49
11. RapidLash Enhancing Serum
Another good one if you’re impatient and want to see results quickly is RapidLash Enhancing Serum. I haven’t used the lash version myself, but I’ve had great results with the brow serum—and it worked fast. Gentle and safe for you to use.
Why people like it: fast, affordable, easy to find
Price: $32
12. Vegamour GRO Volumizing Lash Serum
What’s different about GRO Lash Volumizing Serum is that, while most serums stimulate eyelash growth, this one also focuses on preventing lash shedding. That’s especially helpful as we age.
The hero ingredients that help with this are red clover, mung bean, and amino acid peptides. Bonus: This Serum is gentle and won’t darken your lids or change eye color like some lash serums do.
Why it’s unique: helps reduce lash loss
Price: $68
Ladies -One important thing to know about all Lash Serums!
No lash serum works if you use it sporadically. Consistency matters more than price. Pick one you’ll actually apply every night—and give it at least 6–8 weeks before judging results.
It’s important to know that eyelash serums can cause droopy eyelids (technically called ptosis) if they have prostaglandin analogs in them.
Many on the list have those analogs, but some do not. If someone wants to choose a product without prostaglandin analogs, they can do an internet search with the name of the product and ptosis in the search.
Hi SF, You’re right. This is very good and important info. Thanks for alerting us!!
