Latisse

Has anyone on this forum used Latisse to grow longer, thicker eyelashes? One of my daughters wants to use it, but doesn't know if it is effective, or whether it can harm the eyes. Your personal experiences using this product would be very much appreciated.

It won't harm the eye or vision but side effects include redness and irritation on the eye and dark pigmentation around the edge of the lids. Plus the stuff is extremely expensive expect to pay about $120 per bottle.  If you stop the meds they stop growning  It works on most people, we've used it for years as lumigan for glaucoma.  as with any medicine it doesn't work on everyone.

I have no personal experience, but check out the blog by Dr. Kutryb.  He reports that Latisse really does work.
