In a nutshell: No weird ingredients, no irritation and effects are still visible even if I dont use it daily.
I wanted to buy Revitalash or Lactisse first but I read some stories how it can irritate your eyes or change their colours... So I got Talika.
I do not regret! It comes with good applicator and a comb, both very useful :) Its a clear gel, not very runny, not very gooey either. Great metal packaging (luxe factor).
I have naturally very long eyelashes, my main concern was that there werent as many of them as I would like. They are also not curled in this lashcurler-way, its curled only at the ends not really from the base.
I used it every single day, first I applied and then I combed through. It didnt irritate my eyes, it didnt sting or interfere with my contact lenses.
After maybe a month I could definitely see that they already look better. They became definitely thicker, I had baby lashes and they appeared more dark. I didnt notice anything special about the curl but okay, Im satisfied already. Now after almost 3 months I dont use it everyday, I use it more like 2-3 times a week, effects didnt dissapear. Lashes didnt start to fall like crazy, nothing. They re still fab :)

This really does make a difference. I decided to try it after learning Jennifer Aniston uses it in place of mascara. After curling my lashes, I have been using it in lieu of mascara most days to give my lashes a break. (I have naturally dark lashes so I can get away with clear.) I was born with beautiful lashes, but mascaras can be drying and makeup removal can sometimes cause lashes to fall out. I notice that when I now put on my regular mascara, my lashes are so long they hit the lenses of my sunglasses!

I bought this in hopes of making my short lashes stand out more, but I'm afraid this did nothing for improving my lashes. After using it everyday for 2 months, my lashes still looked the same. Don't waste your time or money on this.

I wanted this so much to work. I applied it once, twice and then the third time I applied it the next day it stung my eyes so bad I had to wash everything out. Didn't get a chance to see if it would have made any difference :(

I'm not sure about this. Back story: I purchased this on ebay really cheaply, from Hong Kong. This may be fake, I may be putting acid on my eyelashes. However, I have noticed improvement. It's taken awhile, but my lashes seem thicker, hold more of a curl, and longer. The ends of them seem to have gotten super light/whiteish, not sure what that's about, and one eye looks as though it's doing a lot better than the other as far as growth is concerned. Mainly, my lashes look healthier. Is this a noticeable change to anyone but me? Absolutely not. My sister noticed that it looked as though I had more lashes, or that they had more volume, but that's it. I only use this at night, I try not to forget but do sometimes. I used it morning and night but I wear contacts and it really seemed to irritate them. I apply it with the wand, then take a little extra and rub it onto the roots. I'm going to try latisse eventually, and see if that actually works.

Lipocils gave me a minor eye infection after 1 week of use, so I had to discontinue it. I suspect it was the whichhazel, which dried out my eyes and lashes. Lashes were easier to curl and held curl better because they were dehydrated They also looked darker somehow, thus appearing fuller. It's a shame the formula isn't safe for those with sensitivities.

I've heard good things about this product for a long time now. Bought it last month after a horrendous fake lash incident in which I pulled out a ton of lashes upon removal. This product is amazing. I've been using it for about a month now and I'm growing back a full set of lashes. There's a very noticeable change in lash growth and darkening in colour as well as curl. I have short Asian lashes but this product has completely exceeded all my expectations. Will definitely purchase again and again.

I received a generous sample & really noticed a difference in the length of my lashes as well as a darkening effect within a month. Now my lashes look better without makeup & when I use mascara & an eyelash curler I can really note a tremendous difference. I've received unsolicited compliments on my lashes which is a real tribute to how good it works. I have purchased 2 additional tubes since receiving the original sample & will continue to buy it due to the great results.

This really does work!! When I was diligent about Applying it morning and night consistently I had more lashes that sprouted out of nowhere!! Didn't really do much about length but volume yes. Price is too high though and I'm too lazy to apply it twice a day.

I use this on my eyebrows and I have noticed a difference. Like many women if my generation I overplucked in the past only to end up with sparse brows. This has made them fuller and longer. However I will not buy it again unless they change the formulation and remove the parabens.

I have sparse and short Asian eyelashes and started using this product last year. I apply it at night before going to bed, usually using the spongy tip to apply a bit of product along my lash line first, then using the brush to sweep the product on my lashes like I do with mascara. I will use in the morning the same way if I don't plan on putting on makeup, otherwise I'm not sure how it would perform with mascara on top.
In just over a month I saw denser lash growth, in addition my lashes are darker and very slightly longer. They have become softer and even started to get their own natural curl. My lashes curl easily now and it's easy to over-curl them before putting on mascara now that they're easier to work with. They hold a curl better on their own as well, so my mascara looks much better on now.
I wish the product gave my lashes some more length but I'm just happy to see actual results from this. I think there are 2 versions at Sephora, one is the Lipocils Expert, which is the one I use, and is the more expensive one. Surprisingly, it costs less than it does in the US, but is still pricey at $50 CAD. It does last a few months though, and I'm on my 3rd tube.
The only con I have is that in the morning sometimes I get crusties around my eyes from the gel drying. It's no biggie though because I only ever use this at night anyway. I do not care much about my bottom lashes, so I have not tried using it on the bottom lashes and cannot comment on growth, but a very good thing about this product is that it does not irritate my eyes unless I get a huge chunk of product inside.
Overall, very good product, and even though it's expensive, there are far more expensive products out there. I will continue to repurchase.

I purchased this product after having my eyelash extensions removed. I was skeptical at first but after 4 weeks I noticed a dramatic improvement. On average I apply it once a day but my eyelashes have grown back better than before. Very impressed!

It worked, my lashes were longer, but after 2 weeks it started to irritate my eyelids more and more. I had to stop using it. I loked like a rabbit with myxomatosis :)

To be honest, the effort required isn't worth it. I religiously applied this to my woeful lashes twice a day for 2 months. It made a slight difference in length but not enough to rave about it. I can see it working if you are disciplined enough to keep going for 6 months, but quite frankly I don't have that discipline!! If you're willing to commit to a permanent routine of applying this, then go for it, personally I'd rather use a good eye make up remover to be kind to my lashes and simply whack on 3 coats of Bourjois Ultra Care Volume Glamour for the long thick lash effect instead. Yes I'm lazy!

Let me just warn you, and this isn't something that most people think about before purchasing this kind of product, if you decide to try this, prepare to dish out the money on continuously buying it.
I bought it once, it worked so beautifully well on my asian lashes. But it's expensive! (Although, relative to most eyelash growth serums it's cheap) I'm a student and I realized I couldn't afford to make this a part of my permanent makeup collection. I had to wean myself off it, and it was hard.

very expensive, but worth it! i singed a few lashes, and after getting tired with false lashes, i decided to try it. it works. you don't need a prescription. it won't change your eye color (my eyes are baby clue). it will make the lashes longer, curlier, and stronger. well worth the price.

It works! You can really notice the difference when you curl your lashes. It made my lashes grow and lengthen after 3 weeks. But some of my lashes fell out and so my lashes looks more sparse. It made my eyes itch a bit when I was using it but nothing too horrible.

I am using lipocils for 2 months now and my lashes have grown 1mm. Visually I don't notice any difference, but the measurement shows that there is a little improvement. It did irritate my eyes for the first weeks, but then my eyes got used to it.

I bought Talika Lipocils because i used to put so much mascara on that my eyelashes became weak and fell out alot . So i started using this product ,and you don't notice results straight away ! (you have to be very patient with it) it took me a good month for it to work on mine. But it's worth the wait, don't worry if one or two of your lashes fall out this is only happening as the lipocils has pushed out the old lashes and replaced them with new ones :) (regrowth) i would definately reccomend this to anyone who is worried about losing their eyelashes !
