Does Olive Oil or Castor Oil Promote Eyelash Growth?

Question

Hi there :) Does Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Pure Castor Oil, promote Eyelash growth? does it make it thicker too? Thank you :)

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Olive oil and castor oil have not been demonstrated to improve eyelash growth, but Latisse does increase the growth phase of eyelashes.

Matthew Schulman, MD · Answer

No way. It doesn't work. Ask your doctor for a prescription for Latisse - this is something that actually works.

Ryan McWhorter, MD · Answer

Although I know of no studies, castor oil has certainly worked. Just apply an organic brand to tips of lashes at bedtime. A Q-tip works. Dirt cheap. Can be goopy if gets in eye. No apparent problem though.

Michael Law, MD · Answer

Latisse is the only product FDA approved to grow eyelashes. The product has been available for several years and my patients have ben very pleased with the results

Christopher J. Peers, MD · Answer

Unfortunately there is no inexpensive, readily available product, applicable to the lashes that has been proven to work, except Latisse.

	Pfizer pharmaceuticals has a similar product, but to my knowledge they have not chosen to promote it.
