Bimataprost, Same Thing As Latisse, Works Great, Much Cheeper, Only $10.00!!!!.... - Houston, TX

WORTH IT$100

I also want to add that the first two weeks of using the product, my eyes were a little red, but it went away permanently. I also have had the skin on the lids nearest to the lash line darken slightly, but it just looks like a light eye shadow liner, and I actually like it! I put this product on my lower lashes as well, and skin darkening is not obvious there at all. I have green/hazel eyes, and no color change to them whatsoever.

I also had redness around my eyes the first two weeks of use, but it went away. I also have a slight darkening on my lids, but it looks like subtle, purple eye shadow. Also once you have been putting it on everyday for the first 4 months, you only have to apply it every other day to maintain, so darkness lessens. I've been using it for 6 months now and couldn't be happier :)

It's been three months since you last posted about your success with the generic Latisse from {edit}. How are your results coming along? Do you have any new pics you could share?

Mine always comes quickly to Texas, like in a week. It should no take maore than two :)I bet yours will come pretty fast!

I use the generic Lumigan (Careprost) and I pay $62 for three 3ml bottles @ {edit}...First of all let me say that IT WORKS. I have been using it for 3 weeks now but I saw a difference in less than a week. My lashes & eye brows are way thicker and I only apply once a day. Next week I am going to increase the dosage to twice a day and leave it at that. I also use it on my hairline to thicken it up, I have seen just a little change because I had ran out soon after I first started using, and had to wait until my next shipment got here. Which is why I am definitely gonna try this {edit} everyone is talking about on other posts. At $10 a bottle that would be great & enable me to purchase way more product. For those who have seen little change or no change yet after a few weeks, all I can say is people are different. I saw change after less than 7 days. I also haven’t experienced certain side effects like redness or itching of the eyes, but my eyelids have gotten a little darker right above where my eyelashes are on my top lids. It doesn’t look bad, it looks like I have a little bit of eye shadow on(funny because I don’t wear make-up *ha*). I started using bleaching cream to counter act that. I have noticed that people who had a decent amount of eyelashes before use have the greatest & most significant results with Bimatoprost. Their lashes are REALY long & thick like hair on someone’s head *haha*. People who had very little lashes & bald spots before use have a SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT but they don’t seem to get those long thick luxurious lashes. Judging by the way my lashes/eye brows have responded so far & the fact that I had a decent amount of lashes before use, I believe that I am going to get some great results after 16 weeks of use. Oh and the reason I use it on my hairline because it’s a little bit thin from past stressful hairstyling, it’s noticeable to me because the rest of my hair is really thick. I got the idea to use Bimatoprost (Lumigan,Careprost) on my hairline when I saw this lady on YouTube that claimed she used it on her scalp. She said her hair was thinning right after she had her baby. The title of the video is: “Latisse Causes Hair To Grow Anywhere”

WOW...all of these comments have been so helpful. Thanks for sharing ladies. I just bought my second bottle of Latisse from my Dermatolgist for $120. No more after reading all of this information!
I want to say thank you for recommend this product. Instead of me having to pay over $100 for latisse, I just ordered this instead which only cost me $45 ( 2 bottle and shipping).. The result is remarkable and something that I can afford.. Thank you again.

I didn't want to pay the price of Latisse, or for a doctor visit, so I bought the generic (bimatoprost). It's the same stuff and my lashes are AMAZING. Everyone has noticed and they all are using it now.

It took a good 2 1/2 months to see some results, but it's worth it. After 4 months, my lashes are super long. Shipping is a little expensive on the website (24.99) but you can buy as many bottles as you want with no prior prescription. Plus each bottle (3ml) lasts me 3 months! If you want long lashes without the high price tag, it's the way to go.

Your lashes look great! But where did you purchase?
Congrats on your lashes... I've been using it for three weeks and I am not sure if I see results or if my mind is playing tricks on me because I want to see results, lol... I did notice that you said it took a good 2.5 months before you noticed a difference. That makes me fell better because I am sure when all of us start using it, deep down inside we are thinking what if this does not work etc... so your comment of how it took more than two months reassures me that i have to be patient! Can you take more pics of your lashes up close! They look great! Thanks!

Hi bebe4u27, The website that the poster ordered from is {edit}. I've ordered from them also and they are great! I was hesitant to order from a foreign pharmacy, but so far no problems at all. I'm not sure where you are, but it takes about 2-3 weeks to have products shipped to the US. Hope this helps! Melanie

Sorry, I sent this to the wrong poster! I meant to send this to the first commenter.
Thank you mel7798, I saw that, but wasn't sure if that was where she would not recomend. Cute pic by the way! Thanks for info.

I don't know why it says I don't reccomend it...I'll try and change that! {edit} is the best! I thought they seemed shady at first too, but I've ordered a lot from them now, and never have a problem. I'll try and post more pics of the lashes, but it will take a full 3.5 to 4 months for full results, so keep applying and be patient :)

can you please please please private message me the website you used. im using latisse for $125 a bottle without results. i tried to private message you but couldnt. i tried a website but all they did was take my money. no product. :( so im desperate to save on latisse alternatives. thanks!!!
Can someone PLEASE send me the name of a website where I can buy the generic stuff?? My professor got the generic stuff from her daughter in law and were lashes look fantastic! I have tiny eyes so it would be nice if I could make them stand out a bit! Thanks :)
Has anyone received the name of the website? If yes, please message me since Realself is blocking that information on this forum. Thanks!
I'm waiting to get an email from you all:)
Okay, you just answered my question. That "I don't recommend" statement freaked me out a bit. I think I'm going to order it. I've been on the fence for about a month now. However, a bald spot on my lash line this week has pushed me OVER the line. Thanks for your input:)
Hi Diane! It sounds like you have been contemplating getting Latisse or the other brand for a month, I am correct? I think you should, you have nothing to loose and from the ratings it is the best thing out there and works on a large percent of the population. Good luck on your lash journey!
