　　What ingredients should you look for in an eyelash serum? Castor oil

　　Serums work to give your natural lashes a boost, especially if they contain oils such as castor oil.

　　According to Dr Nick Fisherman, a trichologist who works closely with Watermans, black castor oil, for example, is known to moisturise and increase hair growth.

　　It also helps prevent hair breakage, he says, and its safe to use on your eyelashes.

　　Castor oil is a safe and proven remedy that has been used for a while to treat conditions like hair loss. Castor oil can thicken eyelashes if you use it continuously.

　　Peptides

　　Peptides are short chains of amino acids that act as the building blocks of collagen and keratin. Peptides can easily penetrate the hair follicle and can aid in preventing breakage and increasing moisture.

　　Vitamin E

　　Vitamin E can moisturise and strengthen the eyelashes and is found in many skincare and haircare products.
