First, it is a little messy to apply, I had to purchase an eyeliner wand to use it, but after using it for several days, I had become a pro at applying it correctly. It is a bright blue color and although Ive been using it for about a month, it still can cause my upper eyelids to itch, but its usually fleeting and isnt really painful. If you go to the website where this is actually from, they recommend using it with Emu Oil. I have been using them both and I have to say that my results are amazing. My lashes have grown longer than they did with Lilash (another lash stimulator that has some cautionary ingredients) and they are much fuller and thicker. I look like I am wearing mascara when I am not and my lashes curl outward at the ends, giving me a 'glamorous' look that I love.
As with most products, every individual reacts to chemicals differently and one cannot always expect the same results as everyone else. I personally would recommend this product if you were looking for a fairly safe way to improve your lash length. This particular cream does not have prostaglandin which is a controversial drug that is used in the treatment of glaucoma and has some serious side effects which include blindness. It does contain some types of parabens which may have been linked to some forms of breast cancer when used in underarm deodorant. But since my eyes are not near my breasts Ill try not to worry about it. The price alone is amazing, considering that Ive been using it everyday for almost a month and my tube is still almost completely full.
If you go to the Skin Biology website, you will find out more information on this product plus its ingredients. You can read about how the copper peptides in this formula help stimulate hair growth in a most natural way. I am not affiliated with them by any means, I happened upon this product after dissatisfaction with other lash stimulators and had read about Folligen from another non affiliated website.

I discovered this when my daughter read about it and tried it. There is almost no adverse smell and it has nice creamy texture. I've read other reviews about lack of information on this product and what it contains. Before I purchased it I did a search online about it at this website:The definitions/instructions are as follows,
Ingredients: Purified water, copper peptides (hydrolyzed soy protein and copper chloride), ethylhexyl palmitate, squalane, stearic acid, polyoxyethylene (8) stearate, glycerol stearate, cetyl alcohol, cupric chloride, olea europaea (olive) fruit oil, propylene glycol (and) diazolidinyl urea (and) methylparaben (and) propylparaben, polysorbate 80, salicylic acid, allantoin, serenoa repens (saw palmetto) fruit extract , lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, leucine, beta sitosterol, aloe barbadensis leaf juice (aloe vera) gel, tocophersolan (vitamin E), retinyl palmitate, mixed (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) tocopherols, mixed (alpha, beta, gamma, delta) tocotrienols, ubiquinone (coenzyme Q-10), xanthophyll (lutein) and lycopene.
Directions: Used consistently, Folligen products can help improve hair health and vitality. Folligen products are based on 2nd Generation of Skin Remodeling Copper-Peptides (SRCPs).
Part the hair or separate into sections so that the product can be applied directly on the scalp. If your hair is very thin, skip to Step 2.
Apply a light amount of Folligen Cream or Lotion on the scalp once a day or once every other day. Massage into the scalp. Folligen Lotion is best for use within areas of existing but thinning hair. Folligen Cream is best for use on hairlines.
Apply a light amount of Emu Oil after applying Folligen. Emu Oil works as a penetrating agent to help the SRCPs further penetrate and increase efficacy. Or use Emu Oil as a light scalp oil.
Leave on the scalp for at least 6-8 hours before washing off. Product can be left on until the next time the hair is washed.

If you are thinking of coloring your hair in any way using any type of colorant (this includes natural organic hennas) be warned, the copper peptides in this preperation will make your hair not take up the pigments. In fact it may bleach out your natural color at the roots causing disasterous results. Stop use for at least two weeks or more if you intend to color your hair, lets face it we can't have it all folks! You get hair growth even if it's gray, or you have sparse dyed hair and scalp!!!

I read about this product being applied to eyelashes (link immediately below)I have yet to use it 10 consecutive days, like the blog author says she did, (I have made it up to two consecutive days and then start forgetting until I find it somewhere in my bathroom again).
However, as infrequently and inconsistently as I use it, I still have noticed a little difference. I have only used it on my eyebrows, but I do notice my eyebrows filling up in the areas that seemed to never grow out before (after years of plucking and waxing). Anyways, I am sure I will see awesome results judging by the amount of improvement I have seen when I haven't even used it as much as recommended.
The first time i used it, it made my eyebrows kind of itchy (just slightly) and I was scared that my eyebrows would fall out, but that didn't happen, they look much better.
I would definitely recommend this product.
