π¬ Ingredient Breakdown
𧬠Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 Promising
A lab-synthesized molecule combining biotin (vitamin B7) with a tripeptide. Part of the Capixyl complex, it targets hair follicle cells to support growth and strengthen lash anchoring.
- Clinical Study: A study using 2% Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 mascara reported lashes approximately 17% longer and 19% thicker after one month.
- Mechanism: In-vitro studies show this peptide helps hair bulb cells grow faster and produce more structural proteins.
π§ Panthenol (Vitamin B5) Proven
A provitamin that converts to pantothenic acid, providing deep hydration and improving hair flexibility. Helps prevent lash breakage and brittleness.
- Function: Penetrates hair shaft to moisturize from within, improving elasticity and shine.
- Benefit: Reduces lash fallout from dryness and creates a protective film on each hair.
πΏ Arctium Lappa (Burdock Root) Extract Traditional
A botanical extract traditionally used to support hair health. Rich in essential fatty acids and phytosterols that nourish the hair follicle.
- Traditional Use: Used in herbal medicine for centuries to promote healthy hair growth.
- Properties: Contains tannins and inulin that help condition and strengthen hair.
π¬ Amino Acid Complex (Arginine, Serine, Threonine) Supporting
Essential building blocks for keratin, the protein that makes up lashes and brows. These amino acids support the natural structure of hair.
- Arginine: Supports blood flow to hair follicles and provides building blocks for keratin.
- Serine & Threonine: Key components of hair protein structure, helping maintain lash strength.

β Frequently Asked Questions
This serum is prostaglandin-free, making it generally safer than alternatives like GrandeLash or Latisse during pregnancy. However, there are no specific clinical studies on use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The peptide-based formula (Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1) is considered lower risk, but we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or while nursing.
No, this serum is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains Polysorbate 80, which is known to feed malassezia yeast. If you have fungal acne concerns around your eye area, consider alternatives like The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Lash Serum or look for formulas specifically labeled as fungal acne safe.
Yes, this lash serum is compatible with other skincare actives. Apply the lash serum first to clean, dry skin and allow it to fully absorb (2-3 minutes) before applying other products. Since it's applied only to the lash line and brows, it won't interact with face serums. However, avoid applying retinol or acids directly on the lash line.
This serum is suitable for all skin types including normal, oily, dry, and sensitive skin. It's hypoallergenic and ophthalmologist-tested, making it particularly good for those with sensitive eyes. The water-based formula works well for oily skin types. However, those with fungal acne should avoid due to Polysorbate 80 content.
Most users begin to see noticeable results within 4-6 weeks of consistent daily use. Early signs like reduced lash fallout and improved conditioning may appear within 2 weeks. Full results typically develop over 3 months. Results vary by individual - some see dramatic improvement while others experience more subtle changes. Consistency is key.
Apply this serum to clean, dry skin after removing makeup and cleansing, but BEFORE other eye products like eye cream or moisturizer. Best used in your PM routine before bed. Apply along the upper lash line and brows, then wait 2-3 minutes for full absorption before applying other products or going to sleep.
This serum has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5. Since it's applied only to the lash line and brow area (not the full face), clogged pores are typically not a concern. The water-based formula is lightweight and non-greasy. However, avoid applying to the lower lash line or waterline where product could spread onto skin.
The serum has a 12-month period after opening (PAO). The 3mL tube typically lasts 2-3 months with daily use on lashes and brows. Store in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tightly closed. Replace if the formula changes color, texture, or develops an unusual smell.
Verdict: Terez & Honor Enhancing Eyelash and Brow Serum is an excellent prostaglandin-free option for those seeking longer, fuller lashes without the side effects associated with prescription alternatives. At $22-30, it offers good value compared to premium competitors like GrandeLash ($68) and RevitaLash ($100+). The peptide-based formula powered by Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1 delivers visible results for most users within 4-6 weeks, though results vary individually. Best suited for those who prioritize safety and gentle formulations over maximum dramatic results. Not recommended for those with fungal acne concerns due to Polysorbate 80 content.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
