Smartlash Eyelash Enhancer Reviews
Are you obsessed with your eyelashes? Many people are, and for those who do not naturally have the long, full lashes that they desire there are a number of options to get them. In fact, with so many eyelash enhancers on the market it can at times be difficult to sort though the options and find the product that will work best for you to achieve the results that you are looking for.
Smartlash is one option among the many eyelash enhancers on the market, and since it is on the more expensive end of the spectrum, it is reasonable to expect that it should produce some pretty fabulous results.
Product Overview
Smartlash makes big promises, really big promises when it comes to how much it is suppose to increase eyelash length and fullness. According to the clinical studies that they cite, all the participants in the study saw an increase in lash length, fullness, and thickness after using the product for a month. The participants in the clinical trials also apparently claimed that they felt that they did not need to use as much mascara after using the product. Very rarely do women feel that they need to use less mascara so that is an especially intriguing statement to make. Let’s see if it holds any water.
Consumer Review
One consumer that tried this product stated:
“After spending $125 on a tube of this product, there is going to be some real disappointment if there are not some pretty dramatic results. After a week of use it seems as if that disappointment is going to be a reality, but the product says give it a full four weeks and after paying this much money it couldn’t hurt to follow the directions. Unfortunately the wait did not seem to make a significant difference. Maybe if you use a magnifying glass you can see that there is some improvement, but to this reviewer $125 worth of improvement ought to be visible to the naked eye, and it was not.” – Isabelle, Rhode Island
Read about Idol Lash, our top eyelash enhancer, it’s a quarter of the price and has much better reviews.
Where To Buy
Pretty sure you’ve probably noticed at this point that the price for Smartlash is $125. A careful search online did not produce any lower prices, making Smartlash an expensive, rather ineffective bullet to bite. For the record Smartlash can be purchased from a number of online sources, including Amazon, but frankly this is not a particularly wise investment of $125. Surprisingly there are not even any special deals offered for purchasing the product in bulk, which is usually the case when an eyelash enhancer is this pricy.
Conclusion
Not usually one for bluntness but let’s face it this is not a good product. The economy is not that great at the moment and you could buy at least two tubes of eyelash enhancers that produce better results for the price of one tube if Smartlash. Smartlash makes nice promises, and the clinical studies that they cite sound really great, but unless this is the case of the one in a million anomaly the product does not really work that well. There is the possibility that given more time the product may actually work.
There were other reviews that stated that some women saw results after using the product for three months. That’s great for them, but for $125 a tube it seems like results should appear faster. If you want to help grow your lashes there are products that work; Smartlash is simply not one of them.

I bought 4 when they were on sale for $29.95,and after using it religiously both morning and night for over 10 months,have seen no difference.The only reason I continued to use it was I had purchased it,and it became a challenge! lol. If I had paid full price for this product,I would really be p.o’d. Plain water would have worked just as well. Save your money.

Mari, thanks for the feedback. That stinks you were so diligent and had no results. Have you tried any other lash products that worked? You could give Idol Lash a try. Maybe just buy one (I think it’s roughly $39) to see if you like it. I used it on my eyebrows for a while and it helped with some regrowth (I over plucked in my 20’s).

Thanks for the unbiased review and saving me money and disappointment. Many claims for beauty products on the web are scams. Too good to be true? Then it can’t be. Again, thanks I saved myself some money!

Wow, was getting tempted because this company did such a good job of hiding real reviews with PR BS. Thanks for your much more likely sounding insight! Sorry u got ripped off, but thx for saving so many of us from the same fate.

I recently read about Smartlash & told my friend about it. We both had been using another prescription eyelash enhancer that worked very well for both of us. We both decided to give Smartlash a try. After using the product for a few weeks we both noticed our eyelashes were falling out, sometimes 4 & 5 lashes a day. I decided tonight after losing 2 more lashes when taking my makeup off that I will never use Smartlash again. I just hope I do not lose all my lashes that had finally grown very long after using the prescription product.

I have used Smartlash and after a few weeks, noticed a huge difference not in my eyelashes but dark circles under my eyes. Everyone kept saying I looked tired, so I stopped using it. I tried using it again a few weeks later and sure enough the dark circles came back. Not sure why?

Thank you, Renee. Your post just confirmed what I suspected. You saved me $30 bucks and some disappointment.

I have been using Smat Lash now for3 months and I do not see any drastic changes to my lashes at all. The directions say to use 2x daily, once in the morning and once at night. I will admit that the first month I forgot a couple of times to use it, but I did at least use it once a day. Either I remembered in the morning and forgot at night or visa versa. That is why I tried it again the following month and now I have been using the product religiously. Maybe I forgot 1 night to apply it out of 30. I still do not see any change at all. If there is a change it is not noticeable. What I did see is if I look close enough my lashes may look a little fuller, and I did notice that I need less mascara to make my lashes look longer. But if anyone looks at me or if I look in the mirror there is no noticeable change in my lashes. Would I keep buying it, no.. I paid $29.99 for it each time and I believe I should have seen drastic results by now, as promised and as per reviews,but I did not. Unless for some freak reason I am the only one who does not see a difference, I would not recommend this to anyone nor would I buy it again.
