Effects of Switching from Revitalash to Latisse

I am using Revitalash, I want to switch to Latisse. Are there any effects from switching from one to the other? will my new eyelashes fall out that I got from Revitalash?

Latisse vs Revitalash

Latisse is a prescription-only solution that has been proven to stimulate the growth of eyelashes. Within two to four months, your eyelashes can become longer and thicker. Latisse is safe and is the only FDA approved treatment for growing eyelashes. Revitalash no longer has the active ingredient, Bimitoprost, that is contained in Latisse so it would be wise for you to switch at this time. There should be no unexpected consequences, such as your eyelashes falling out, when you switch to... more

Latisse

Switching to Latisse will have no ill effect. You may experience accelerated effect of the Latisse. One you have achieved the length and color you like, then you can start using Ltisse every other day as maintenance.

No effects from switching from Revitalash to Latisse

You won't have any negative effects. Both products work the same way by prolonging the growth cycle of the lashes. If you stop using any lash promoting product, your lashes will simply revert to their usual growth cycle and eventually their pre-treatment length and density. Latisse has the advantage of being approved by the FDA and has studies behind it actually measuring growth and density.

Switching from Revitalash to Latisse

Not only your eyelashes will not fall from switching from Revitalash to Latisse, but may get longer faster. To fully understand why, you really should understand the way Latisse works and learn of the lawsuits settled a year ago in favor of Latisse's producer, Allergan, by several companies which admitted to illegally using the active ingredient in Latisse in their products (Revitalash was one of them). Those products no longer contain the active ingredient so you are MUCH more likely to... more

Eyelash enhancers

Hi Kristina, There should be no ill effects from switching from Revitalash to Latisse. If you stop Revitalash and not go on Latisse, then you might lose lashes or the lengthening you got from Revitalash. As a precaution, get an eye exam before starting Latisse.
