If you’ve been longing for naturally longer, fuller lashes but want to avoid extensions or harsh formulas, Sweed Pro Eyelash Serum is well worth a look. I’ve been using it in my own routine and it’s quickly become a favorite because it’s clean, safe, prostaglandin-free, gentle on my sensitive eyes, and gives me noticeably longer, stronger eyelashes.

Do You Have Short, Sparse, or Weak Eyelashes?
I have never been blessed with great lashes. Mine have always been thin, pale, stick straight (similar to Asian lashes), and they point straight down. Long, upward curling lashes are especially important for those of us who have deeply hooded eyes. And, as we age, no matter how they started, our eyes tend to become more hooded and our lashes tend to become more sparse. That's why in my late 60s and early 70s, finding an effective lash growth serum became a beauty priority.
A couple of years ago, I used a fantastic lash growth serum from Obagi. It made a huge difference in the length and fullness of my lashes, although it tended to make them brittle. But the real problem was that it contained a prostaglandin analog. So, while I continue to use (and love) their excellent brow serum, I didn't want to keep using their lash serum because I didn't want to use a prostaglandin analog so close to my eyes.
I tried several well reviewed and highly recommended prostaglandin-free lash growth serums with disappointing results. I used at least one entire tube of each brand's eyelash serum to give it a fair trial. But it wasn't until I tried Sweed Beauty's Pro Eyelash Serum that I found a winner.
An Effective, Clean Beauty Lash Growth Serum With No Prostaglandins
One of the first things that drew me to this serum is its commitment to clean, vegan, and cruelty-free beauty. It’s free from prostaglandin analogues (found in many lash serums), as well as sulfates, parabens, gluten, and synthetic fragrance. That’s a rare and welcome combination, especially for those of us with mature or sensitive eyes.
Unlike many lash growth serums that rely on prostaglandins or prostaglandin analogs — hormone-like ingredients originally used in glaucoma treatments — Sweed Pro Eyelash Serum is completely free from these compounds. That matters because prostaglandin-based formulas have been linked to unwanted side effects such as darkening of the eyelid skin and iris, periorbital fat loss (which can create a sunken-eye look), eye irritation, and even eyelid drooping or unwanted facial hair growth where the product migrates.
Sweed takes a gentler approach, using nourishing, non-irritating peptides and botanicals to support healthier-looking, longer lashes—without the hormone disruption or high-risk side effects.
Created by a Makeup Artist Who Understands Real Results
Sweed’s founder, Gabriella Elio, is a professional makeup artist with over two decades of experience. She designed her line to reflect the clean, performance-driven simplicity of Scandinavian beauty, and that’s exactly what this serum delivers. It's surprisingly effective, especially compared to the other prostaglandin-free lash serums I have tried.

What I Noticed
After about three weeks of consistent nightly use, I began noticing a difference in my lashes. They looked a bit fuller and I noticed fewer lashes falling out. By the four-week mark, I could see a real improvement in overall density and health. After six weeks, I was really impressed with how long, full, and strong my lashes were becoming.
There was no redness, no irritation, no stinging—and that’s saying something, because my eyes can be quite sensitive.

What’s Inside
The Sweed Pro Eyelash Serum formula is packed with thoughtful, lash-loving ingredients:
- Peptides to support healthy lash growth
- Biotin to strengthen and help prevent breakage
- Pumpkin seed extract to nourish and add shine
- Vegan keratin to reinforce and protect
- Hyaluronic acid for deep hydration
- Panthenol (Vitamin B5) to improve flexibility and softness
Each ingredient plays a supportive role in extending the growth phase of your lashes while conditioning and protecting them along the way.
How to Use Sweed Pro Eyelash Serum
It’s very easy to use. After cleansing at night, just apply a thin line of the serum right along the upper lash line, as if it were liquid eyeliner. This eyelash serum dries quickly, and after a couple of minutes you can apply the rest of your evening skincare routine.
After achieving noticeable results, you can scale back to using it two to three times a week for maintenance. And if you’re like me and have a few sparse spots in your brows, you can apply the serum there too, although Sweed also makes a great brow serum.
Packaging & Price
I love the pretty turquoise packaging of this lash growth serum, which is available in a choice of two sizes:
- 3 ml for $55
- 5 ml for $80
The 3 ml size should last about 3 months and the 5 ml size should last about 5 months. That averages $16–$18 a month for fuller, longer, stronger lashes.
Final Thoughts
Sweed Pro Eyelash Serum strikes that rare balance of being gentle enough for daily use while actually delivering results. It’s a clean, vegan lash enhancer created by a professional who understands performance and simplicity.
If you’re looking to improve the fullness and health of your natural lashes without irritation or compromise, I truly believe this is one of the best clean formulas out there.
