Refill Lash Dual Ampoule: Olive Young Exclusive for Eyelash Care

A company specializing in hair loss and scalp care is expanding its focus to include eyelash health. Refill, operated by Constant (CEO Jeong Geun-sik), is launching a new “Eyelash Dual Ampoule” kit exclusively at Olive Young stores beginning January 26th.

A Dual Approach to Eyelash and Scalp Health

The new kit includes the Eyelash Dual Ampoule and tweezers, designed to provide a comprehensive self-care routine for eyelashes and styling. Refill is positioning this as a complete system, addressing all stages of eyelash care.

Innovative Formulation

The core of the kit is the Eyelash Dual Ampoule, which is described as the first of its kind in the industry, offering simultaneous care for eyelashes and the hairline. It contains ‘cADPR,’ a patented ingredient developed based on cytokine research by Dr. Mi-kyung Yang, a physician and head of Refill’s hair loss research institute, and ‘Widelash,’ a specialized ingredient for eyelash care. A specially designed dual brush is intended to maximize the synergistic effect of nutrient delivery.

Did You Know? cADPR, a key ingredient in the Eyelash Dual Ampoule, is protected by a U.S. patent.

According to the company, cADPR works by activating Wnt and β-catenin signaling, which supports the differentiation of hair follicle stem cells. Widelash combines biotin, tripeptide, and panthenol to improve the fundamental environment of both eyelashes and the scalp.

Proven Results and Growing Demand

The Eyelash Dual Ampoule has already demonstrated market success. It has sold over 10,000 units at Olive Young, and was named the best new product of the first half of 2023 and the top eyelash serum on the beauty platform ‘Hwahae.’ A “super early bird” event on the official Refill website sold out the initial stock in just three days, indicating a strong customer base.

Expert Insight: Refill’s expansion into eyelash care represents a strategic move, leveraging established expertise in follicular health. The company is capitalizing on a growing consumer trend toward preventative care and at-home beauty routines.

Refill has applied its expertise in root management, gained through research in hair loss and scalp care, to the eyelash area. The company notes that both the scalp and eyelashes share similar growth cycles and sensitivity to external stimuli, leading to the development of a specialized formula.

Shifting Market Dynamics

Constant CEO Jeong Geun-sik stated that “lush eyelashes make the eyes look clearer and complete the overall impression more sophisticated.” He also noted the eyelash market is experiencing rapid growth as it shifts from makeup-focused to care-focused approaches.

The Refill kit will be available in limited quantities at major Olive Young stores both online and offline, priced at 33,500 won.
