What the gurus are saying

Babe Lash does work to grow lashes, but it contains a prostaglandin analog, which carries risks some people may want to avoid. The gurus who reviewed it stress that if you choose to use it, you need to read the full ingredients label carefully, since the prostaglandin may not be clearly flagged on the box itself. That means checking the fine print before you buy, and weighing whether the lash growth is worth the potential downsides for your situation.

"Babe Lash is nice and it's got those prostaglandins. I have used Babe Lash and I really liked it."
~Nay
"Babe Lash is one of the popular brands that contains a prostaglandin analog. It's not to say that they're bad, but if those are the risks that you are aware of and you want to avoid them, maybe get that lash serum out, check it against that list, and make sure it doesn't contain a prostaglandin analog."
~Nay
"This has a prostaglandin analog in it, so be careful with these because they can cause discoloration of the eyelids, irritation, and in theory they can cause discoloration in the eye. These are cosmetic prostaglandin analogs whereas a medication like Latisse, that's FDA approved, but you definitely can develop the same side effects even though one's a drug and one's a cosmetic. So I never feel comfortable recommending those because I hate for somebody to develop those kind of side effects. At least with Latisse somebody's prescribing it and then they're monitoring for those."
~Nay
"Babe Lash is an over-the-counter product containing prostaglandin analogs that are unregulated and 10 times stronger than prescription Latisse. It causes the same dangerous and potentially permanent side effects including dry eyes, redness, permanent eyelid and iris discoloration, permanent eye color changes, fat atrophy causing sunken eyes, and deepening of the upper eyelid crease. These unregulated products put women at serious risk because they don't know what they're using or what side effects to watch for."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
