Ask any beauty editor, and they'll tell you that the Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Serum is one of their best-kept beauty secrets – and as a hard-to-please shopping writer who's tested a wealth of beauty products over the years, I can wholeheartedly agree.
I’ve never really had much of a problem with my eyelashes. They are very average, not really long, not very short, not really that curly or full. They’re the most basic of lashes. I just felt they needed a little bit of *spice*. Mascara completely boosts my confidence, so the possibility of waking up with natural bat-worthy lashes sounded like an unmissable opportunity.
I quickly realised that I had to try an eyelash growth serum for myself. And the only eyelash serum I seemed to be hearing about, from TikTokers, beauty editors and friends was Revitalash Advanced. It’s so popular that it’s sold every 30 seconds around the world. It’s one of the only eyelash serums available that has been developed by ophthalmologists / medical eye specialists. Even Meghan Markle has credited her long lashes to serum, specifically Revitalash Advanced, in an interview with Allure.
I’ll be honest though — the Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Serum isn’t exactly purse-friendly, but here’s the good news: it’s currently 20% off for Black Friday 2024. After something else? Shop the best Black Friday deals for savings on fashion, beauty, interiors and so much more.

About the brand:
Revitalash was formulated by Dr Michael Brinkenhoff for his courageous wife Gayle who lost her hair, brows and lashes following chemotherapy in 2006. He wanted to make her feel beautiful again. If that story isn’t heartwarming enough, Revitalash is still a family-owned business and continues to be a year-round supporter of breast cancer awareness, research and education.
Product deep dive + Revitalash before & after pictures:
Revitalash advises to use it for at least six weeks before you can expect to see results. Chelsea Hughes, GLAMOUR's Senior Visual Editor says “I’ve now been swiping the conditioning serum across my lashes before bed for around six months, on and off. To sum this product up; I’ve had numerous friends and family physically inspect my lashes to check whether or not I’m lying about them being real. The improvement is phe-nom-en-al!”
"I’d say I began to see a difference after about two weeks and everyone else started to see a difference after four. At one point, I actually had to have a break from using it as my lashes became so long they were creeping into my brows. This whole time, I’ve been using the same 2ml tube and I still haven’t run out. Of course, I’m yet to see how long this tube will last, but it's definitely longer than the promised three months. Result.
I expected my lashes to become longer, but I was super surprised about the increased volume, curl and even darkness of them. I’ve since looked into it and Revitalash claims that most users see a 31° curl increase, so major!"
Another day, another hack that doctors are forced to debunk.
“Once or twice I applied the product in the morning when I knew I was working from home with no makeup. I’d avoid doing this, as after constant use the product can cause slight irritation, meaning that during the day you’re inclined to rub them, making it worse. For me, the irritation was redness no more than how I’d look if I’d just been crying. After a day off the product, my eyelids would return to normal again. Revitalash have just launched an advanced conditioner for sensitive skin, which is a great substitute if you're prone to sensitive skin around the eye area.”
"Since so many friends have been commenting on my lashes, many of them who I presumed were blessed with naturally glorious lashes, have actually been using Revitalash the whole time. The same goes for random conversations with multiple women in ladies bathrooms, I was surprised to find out how many are obsessed with this product," adds Chelsea.
Revitalash Advance Eyelash Serum review: GLAMOUR road test
Mayola Fernandes, GLAMOUR's Commerce Writer says “As a shopping writer, I’ve tested hundreds of the most coveted beauty formulas out there, but very few have impressed me as much as Revitalash Advanced Eyelash Serum.
"My journey with this particular eyelash growth serum began over a year ago when I started looking for a more cost-effective alternative to lash lifts or extensions. While I never kept up with either treatment consistently, I noticed my lashes were becoming weaker every time, which really started to worry me. After a beauty editor recommended I try an eyelash growth serum, I did my research and discovered Revitalash.
"I’ll admit, I was initially taken aback by the price — it’s not cheap! But after using the serum consistently and seeing noticeable results, along with hearing rave reviews from others who’ve tried it and now swear by it, I can honestly say it’s worth every single penny. My lashes have never looked healthier, longer, and more voluminous, and I can’t imagine going without it now. If you’re on the fence, take it from me: It’s a game-changer!"
The verdict:
We’ve honestly never been quite so hyped about a product here at GLAMOUR, and we’ll both without a doubt be adding it into our daily skincare routines. While we started with slightly different concerns about our lashes, it's reassuring to see that they’ve reached a length we’re both happy with. We've been using Revitalash Advanced 2-3 times a week to maintain them. Seriously, run — don’t walk — to get yours!

She said: "I've been trialling this formula for over 6 weeks now, and I'm already seeing some promising results, having noticed a sizeable improvement to the length of my lashes as well as volume.”
