When should you use this strengthening gel for eyelashes and eyebrows?
Ecrinal Eyelash & Eyebrow Strengthening Gel is a clear gel formulated with ANP 2+, a patented thio-lipid complex, combined with a tripeptide and provitamin B5. It is designed for eyelashes and eyebrows that are brittle, too short, or too thin, and is applied at the base of the hair, where the hair shaft forms.
When applied daily, this gel stimulates growth and makes eyelashes longer and thicker. In a self-assessment study involving twenty-two participants over twenty-one days, 87% found their eyelashes to be thicker and longer, and 91% found them to be stronger.
The same complex helps protect weakened eyelashes and eyebrows: in this self-assessment, 96% of participants felt that their eyelashes were falling out less after three weeks. Eyebrows benefit from the same treatment, especially when they have thinned over the years due to plucking. You’ll find this type of daily care in our eyelash serums, alongside our nourishing mascaras.
The gel is clear and helps mascara stay in place: it can be worn alone or as a base under makeup. It ’s suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers, which is important when lashes have been damaged by waterproof mascara, harsh makeup removal, or the removal of extensions.
For this, we recommendEcrinal ANP 2+ Fortifying Black Mascara: it’s applied over the gel once it’s dry, allowing you to apply mascara without interrupting the treatment.

Precautions
- For external use only, on eyelashes and eyebrows. Avoid direct contact with the eye; if the product gets in your eye, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Do not apply to a red, swollen, scaly, or damaged eyelid, or during an eye infection, conjunctivitis, or a stye: seek medical advice first.
- Contact lens wearers: Apply the gel after removing your lenses, then wait until it is completely dry before reinserting them, to ensure no residue transfers to the lens.
- Eyelash extensions: The plant-based oils in the formula (macadamia, camelina, grapeseed, and soybean) dissolve eyelash adhesive. Wait until the extensions have been removed before beginning the treatment.
- Known allergy to tree nuts (macadamia oil), soy (soybean oil), or silk (silk amino acids and their methyl esters).
- The formula is fragranced and contains tetramethyl acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, a fragrance component that is a known allergen and subject to mandatory labeling: use with caution if your eyelids are sensitive to fragrances.
- Cetrimonium bromide, a cationic surfactant, may irritate the eyes with repeated contact: apply a thin layer at the base of the eyelashes, without over-applying.
- Discontinue use and seek medical advice if you experience eye redness, persistent stinging, eyelid swelling, or blurred vision.
- Unusual and persistent loss of eyelashes or eyebrows—such as an entire area thinning out, an eyebrow becoming sparse along its outer third, or scaly eyelids—requires medical advice before using any cosmetic product: a strengthening gel does not address the underlying cause and may delay diagnosis.
- Product intended for adults and adolescents. Do not swallow.
- Keep the bottle tightly closed, at room temperature, protected from light, and out of the reach of children. Shelf life after opening: 12 months.

Our Expert Advice on Ecrinal Eyelash & Eyebrow Strengthener
The first question we ask is how long the hair loss has been occurring. Eyelashes thinned by waterproof mascara, the removal of extensions, or a period of fatigue can be addressed with cosmetic care. Persistent hair loss, a noticeably thinning area of the eyebrow, or a chronically red and flaky eyelid requires a medical evaluation: blepharitis, alopecia areata, thyroid disorders, and certain treatments can cause these symptoms, and no gel can correct them. Finally, exercise caution with eyelash serums purchased outside of pharmaceutical channels that promise spectacular regrowth: some are based on prostaglandin analogs—active molecules that, in very low doses when in contact with the eye, have not been proven safe for cosmetic use. This gel contains a thio-lipid complex, a tripeptide, and plant oils.
For the treatment itself, plan on two to three months without skipping any days: eyelashes grow slowly and renew themselves over several months, so a bottle that’s been opened and abandoned after three weeks won’t show what the treatment is capable of. Apply it in the evening to lashes that have had makeup removed—a small amount is enough—and reapply a touch in the morning under your mascara if you wear makeup. Remove makeup without rubbing; place a cotton pad on your eyelids for a few seconds before wiping it away: the act of removing makeup pulls out more eyelashes than an entire day’s wear does. Assess the results after the treatment—preferably with a photo rather than relying on memory—before deciding whether to use a second bottle.
FAQ
Can I use Ecrinal Eyelash & Eyebrow Strengthener if I’ve been losing my eyelashes for several months?
If you’ve been losing eyelashes for several months, you should first seek medical or ophthalmological advice. Blepharitis, alopecia areata, a thyroid disorder, or ongoing treatment often explain this type of loss, and the gel is not intended for these situations. It can be used once the underlying cause has been ruled out or treated.
Can I wear my contact lenses while using Ecrinal Fortifying Eyelash & Eyebrow Gel?
Yes: the gel is suitable for sensitive eyes and contact lens wearers. It’s best to apply it after removing your lenses, and you should put your lenses back in only once the gel is completely dry to avoid any residue on the lenses.
Can I apply Ecrinal Eyelash & Eyebrow Strengthener to eyelash extensions?
No. The formula contains several plant oils that soften the adhesives used for extensions and cause them to come loose more quickly. Start the treatment after removing the extensions, on your natural lashes.
How long can I keep Ecrinal Eyelash & Eyebrow Strengthener after opening it?
The shelf life after opening is 12 months. A two- to three-month treatment course therefore easily fits within this timeframe, provided the bottle is tightly closed and stored at room temperature.
