Folligen: A Natural Alternative for Eyelash Growth | Skin Biology

Folligen is a commercial product manufactured by Skin Biology as a hair growth product. It is marketed as an alternative to prostaglandin-based prescription drugs that are used for eyelash growth and the control of glaucoma.

Active Ingredients

• Folligen contains copper peptides. Peptides are amino acids associated with proteins.

How It Works

• The copper peptides promote blood flow of the capillaries or small blood vessels near the surface of the skin. Increasing blood flow of the capillaries near hair follicles can increase the growth rate of the hair.

Application of Folligen

• According to Zimbio.com, folligen is applied to the eyebrows and eyelash with the tip of the finger or a Q-tip. Apply sparingly and in a manner similar to applying eyeliner.

Side Effects

• According to TruthInAging.com, folligen has no known side effects.

Other Uses

• Folligen is intended for use on the scalp but can be used as a treatment for any area of the body where hair has grown but is no longer growing due to aging.
