Latisse is the only FDA approved lash growth product
Before the FDA approval of Latisse, Revitalash and another product named LashMD both came on the market for the purpose of lengthening and thickening lashes. Both did a very respectable job and we carried LashMD until it was no longer available.
The proprietary ingredient, bimatropost, is patented by Allergan and in smaller volume bottles is marketed as the prescription glaucoma drug Lumigan. (Purpose of use and directions for use are completely different for the two products even though...

Both will work, but Latisse has studies showing proven results
Revitalash works well for many people. Reviatalash's new formulation has a different ingredient than bimatoprost, but it is still a prostaglandin-related analog that has the same side effect of growing hair. They had to change their formulation within the last year, but it is still effective and the results can be dramatic. However, this is labelled as a cosmetic by the FDA, not as a drug; therefore, studies to prove consistent results haven't been done to the best of my knowledge.

Revitalash or Latisse
My suggestion would be to use up your Revitalash (we used to sell it but no longer do) and then switch to Latisse.
Latisse is the same price (actually $5 cheaper than we used to sell Revitalash for) and it works better because the active ingredient that is used in Latisse was removed from Revitalash in the recent past based on a lawsuit between the two companies that produce the products.

Latisse vs Revitalash
These are two different things entirely. Revitalash is an eyelash conditioner that claims to improve the appearance of your lashes. Latisse is 0.03% bimatoprost ophthalmic solution that has a long history. It has been used for years as a glaucoma medication. Patent's who used it were found to have to trim their lashes. So Allergan turned it into an eyelash grower. It will lengthen your lashes 25% and thicken them 105%. The company states that it takes 16 weeks to works. My secretary...

Latisse works faster and makes lashes darker
You will notice the results of Latisse much quicker than Revitalash (or the other non FDA-approved eyelash growing products). Also, Latisse is reported to make the lashes longer, thicker, AND darker while Revitalash makes them longer and thicker (NOT darker).

Latisse Works Better then Revitilash
Both products used to contain the same active ingrediant. However, Revitilash has since changed it's formulation and now is much less effective (it does not contain prescription ingrediants).

Yes, Latisse works better than Revitalash
Latisse is the only FDA-approved prescription treatment used to grow eyelashes. Latisse make the eyelashes longer, thicker and darker. Revitalash, on the other side, improves only the length and the thickness of the lashes, not the color, and it isn't FDA-approved. Revitalash is a cosmetic conditioner, not an active ingredient.

Latisse has clinical trials and FDA approval, Revitalash does not
We considered bringing Revitalash into our practice when it first came out, but decided against it. Since there was no scientific study to back the anecdotal claims, we weren't comfortable recommending it to our patients.
Latisse, on the other hand, won approval by the FDA based on their scientific studies and clinical trials. I have attached a link to the unretouched photos from the clinical trials so you can see the difference. In addition, the applicator is designed for opthamological use...

Latisse vs. Revitalash
Latisse is FDA approved for growing lashes. Revitalash is not FDA approved. In my Raleigh, NC plastic surgery practice we offer Latisse and we do not offer Revitalash. However, if Revitalash is working for you and you are pleased with the results continue using the product until it is all used. You may wish you consider using Latisse when you have used your supply of Latisse. In order for either of these products to be effective it is important to remember to use these products each evening...
