    On One Hand: Folligen Treats Hair Loss

    At Folligen.com, Folligen is marketed as a nonprescription, over-the-counter product that will help reduce hair loss, regrow hair and grow longer hair. It comes in a variety of forms, including a cream and a spray. The bulk of the company's product information details the benefits of Folligen on hair of the scalp. However, they also list eyebrow and eyelash loss as an additional reason for using the product. The information suggests users apply the cream form of Folligen directly to the eyelashes. Customer reviews give no negative feedback and show that results vary by user.

    On the Other: Using Near the Eyes May Be Harmful

    The National Eye Institute cautions that using any creams, eye drops, ointments or cosmetics around the eye area can cause eye irritation, allergies or an infection called conjunctivitis. Although many cases of conjunctivitis do not require treatment, if left untreated, some cases may lead to corneal damage. Any products used on or around the eye area should be kept clean and be used cautiously.

    Bottom Line

    No conclusive evidence demonstrates a clear danger in using Folligen on eyelashes or supports the effectiveness of using Folligen on eyelashes to regrow or lengthen lashes. To adequately protect your sight, consult your eye care professional before using Folligen on or around your eyes.
