How to use it: Your prescriber's directions and the leaflet come first.

Product description

Giraffe is a prescription lash treatment. Its active, bimatoprost, lengthens the growth phase of the eyelash follicle, so lashes grow longer, fuller and darker than they otherwise would. It's the same active used in prescription eye drops for glaucoma, which is why it needs a prescriber's review rather than a basket.

It's for adults aged 18 to 65 with short, sparse or thin lashes, who don't have an eye condition that rules it out. It's applied with a fine single-use applicator to the skin at the base of the upper lashes — never to the lower lid, and never into the eye.

The active

  • Bimatoprost 0.03%. A prostaglandin analogue that extends the growth phase of the lash follicle and increases the number of hairs in growth at once.

Prostaglandin analogue

Who it's for

  • Adults aged 18 to 65
  • Short, sparse or thin eyelashes
  • No glaucoma treatment, eye infection, uveitis or recent eye surgery
  • Contact-lens wearers can use it — lenses out first, back in 15 minutes later

The consultation checks all of this. A prescriber makes the final call, and tells you why if the answer is no.

Stages of regrowth

What happens, and when.

Hair grows slowly, so this is the shape of a typical course rather than a promise. Everyone responds differently, and your prescriber sets the pace.

  1. Weeks 1–4

    The nightly routine

    One drop along the upper lash line each night, applicator cleaned and stored. Nothing visible yet.

  2. Weeks 4–8

    First change

    Lashes start to look a little longer. This is when most people first notice the difference in the mirror.

  3. Weeks 12–16

    Full effect

    Longer, thicker and darker lashes — the complete result. Your prescriber may suggest a lighter maintenance schedule from here.

  4. After 16 weeks

    Maintain

    Lashes gradually return to how they were over a few months if you stop. A typical path, not a promise — individual results vary.

How the consultation works.

Free, around five minutes, no obligation.

Start consultation
  1. 1

    Answer a few questions

    About your hair, your health and any medicines you take. Around five minutes.

  2. 2

    Upload photo ID

    The prescriber confirms your age from it. If we need a photo of your scalp, beard, lashes or brows, we'll ask.

  3. 3

    A prescriber reviews it

    A UK-registered prescriber checks every prescription order before it is dispatched. If treatment isn't suitable, they'll say so and why.

  4. 4

    Delivered, then checked in on

    Free tracked UK delivery. From your second order onward, a short health check-in keeps your prescriber up to date.

How to use it.

  1. 1

    Follow the directions in the pack

    Your prescriber's directions and the leaflet come first.

  2. 2

    Clean face, lenses out

    Remove make-up and contact lenses. One drop on a fresh applicator.

  3. 3

    One stroke, upper lid

    Draw it along the skin at the base of the upper lashes, like eyeliner. Blot any excess. Never apply to the lower lid.

  4. 4

    Nightly, then patience

    Once a night, one applicator per eye. Change is usually visible from around eight weeks; full effect at twelve to sixteen.

Safety, in brief.

A summary, not the whole story. The leaflet in the pack and your prescriber's directions take precedence.

Common side effects

  • Itchy or red eyes
  • Darkening of the skin of the eyelid where it's applied, which usually fades after stopping
  • Dry or irritated eyes, or a feeling of something in the eye
  • Fine hair growth on skin that the product repeatedly touches

Do not use it

  • If you use eye drops for glaucoma or raised eye pressure, unless your eye specialist has agreed
  • If you have an active eye infection, uveitis or iritis, or have had eye surgery recently
  • If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding
  • If you are under 18 or over 65
  • If you are allergic to bimatoprost

Precautions

  • Bimatoprost can permanently increase brown pigment in the iris if it gets into the eye repeatedly. This is more likely with mixed-colour eyes. Apply only to the skin at the base of the upper lashes and blot any excess.
  • Use a fresh sterile applicator for each eye, each night; never reuse one or share the product.
  • Remove contact lenses before applying and wait 15 minutes before putting them back.
  • If you already use bimatoprost eye drops, using both may reduce the drops' effect on eye pressure — tell your eye specialist.
  • Stop and contact us or an optician if you get eye pain, changes in vision, or persistent redness.
  • Hair gradually returns to its previous state over weeks to months after stopping.

Giraffe Lash Booster, answered

Your questions,
answered.

Straight answers, including about what this treatment can't do.

❏Five honest answers
Do I need a prescription?
Yes. Bimatoprost is a prescription-only medicine. A UK-registered prescriber reviews your consultation — including questions about your eyes — and your photo ID before Giraffe is dispatched.
Will it change my eye colour?
It can, if it repeatedly gets into the eye: bimatoprost may increase brown pigment in the iris, and that change can be permanent. Applied correctly to the skin at the lash base, with excess blotted away, exposure to the eye is minimal. Darkening of the eyelid skin is more common and usually fades after stopping.
Can I wear contact lenses?
Yes. Take them out before applying and wait 15 minutes before putting them back in.
How long does a pack last?
Used once nightly as directed, around a month. Subscribe & Save delivers every 4 weeks at 10% off.
Is it the same as Macaroni Penguin?
Same active and strength — Macaroni Penguin Brow Booster is bimatoprost 0.03% for the brow line. If you want both, tell us in the consultation and the prescriber can approve both.
