Latisse and Careprost

Latisse and Careprost are both bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. However, Latisse is trhe only treatment that has been scientifically proven to stimulate the growth of eyelashes. Many studies have been done to prove its effectiveness using unbiased observers. At present, Latisse is the only FDA approved treatment for growing eyelashes.

Not the same products

This would kind of be like comparing Restylane and Juvederm - even though they are both hyaluronic acid fillers, they are not the same. Latisse is the only product FDA approved for eyelash growth. Careprost is not comparable and you cannot be guaranteed the same results.

Latisse is the ONLY FDA approved product on the market..

No. Latisse is the ONLY FDA approved product on the market. It has been scientifically proven to enhance your lashes by doubling the fullness, increasing the length, and darkening of the hair within the first 16 weeks of use. Good luck Dr. Grant Stevens

Seems to me that all of the doctors making comments on lash serums here are essentially copying/pasting their responses across the board, regardless of the question(s) you are asking or the product you are asking about. They are in essence telling you to use Lattise or nothing at all.
These doctors don't seem to be concerned that perhaps there are some of us that may not want our blue eyes turning brown. Or that we are asking genuine questions because we want honest answers and are trying to do our due diligence before trying an alternative to obtaining a prescription for a lash enhancing serum. They just want to write us prescriptions and help further the interests of themselves, the pharmaceutical companies, the insurance companies and pharmacies that we would have to go through to get the Lattise from.
Additionally - none of the questions in this forum are remotely being answered which I find disheartening. If "Jane" is asking a question about an ingredient in a product she may potentially purchase, why can't any of the doctors on this forum be truthful? Why can't they simply provide an answer to Jane so that she can make an educated purchase on her own? Instead the doctors are guilt- tripping "Jane" into buying Lattise which I find to be completely unethical.

realintx, the doctors on RealSelf are on here on a voluntary basis. I find it a bit upsetting that you are so unappreciative of the information they have freely shared with us.  I have read over their answers, and they have answered her question thoroughly. I'm sorry if you don't feel the information was useful, you are certainly welcome to check other places for information.
