Latisse: Q&A
Ask a Question
Do I Apply Latisse to Eyebrows Before or After Applying Moisturizer?
Although not FDA approved, I have recently started to apply Latisse to my over-plucked eyebrows (one drop on each brow). I would like to know if I should apply Latisse to my brows before or after using my facial moisturiser? My skin can feel quite dry without using it, and the Latisse slightly exasperates this problem- I am worried however that applying moisturiser before/after may diminish the effects of Latisse? Thanks in advance for your advice...

Applying Latisse to Eyebrows
While the FDA approval hasn't gone through for this, Allergan is currently doing studies on Latisse for eyebrows, as well as another entire system for the scalp. Though technically "off label," Latisse should be applied to any clean site before any other product, so you should put it on before the moisturizer, as it will penetrate better.
