Eyelashes grew longer and somewhat thicker. The length was very elegant, but the cost iss ridiculous. Latisse is just a repackaged version of a Glaucoma treatment which is several times as much product for about $30! Ripoff!
Also, the brushes are worthless, and designed to make you waste product so it wont last. For $10, I get a generic from India, works great! I use a very thin sable brush to put a very tiny amount on, so i get less redness and no waste. Wash brush nightly.
I was getting red itchy eyes but I use less product with my own brush. Also, once the lashes grow, I only use it 2-3 times a week at most. One tiny (latisse size) bottle of generic from India lasted me over a year!
$80 tube of Trentionin only $3!
I am disgusted by Allergan, the original packaging said that bif eyes turned brown it was reversable, NOW they say permanent. They have not studied this enough.

All these experts say they have never heard this to be true but I experienced it and have heard NUMEROUS reports that eyelashes become brittle and fragile after long term Latisse use.
After I get full results, I use generic Latisse only 1-2 times a week to maintain length and I use very little product. A VERY skinny sable brush and a tiny amount of product. BTW the worst problem with brittle, falling out lashes came when using the REAL product by Allergan.
UPDATE: I am actually finding that use of Latisse...

If it is basically the same as Latisse, you should need one. It is my understanding that all FDA approved drugs can only be dispensed by a doctor or a pharmacist who has a Rx from a doctor. If they are dispensing it without a Rx perhaps it is not FDA approved??
Is Latisse Sold Without a Prescription, over the Counter Now?

For clarification, It is almost always illegal to purchase prescription medication overseas. Please see the information below from Customs & Border Control: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/clearing/restricted/medication_drugs.xml
"The Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) prohibits persons from importing into the United States any prescription drug that has not been approved for sale by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or which is adulterated or misbranded within the meaning of the Act.
Moreover, in those instances where a United States manufacturer makes an FDA-approved prescription drug and sends it abroad, the Act also prohibits any person other than the original manufacturer from importing the drug back into the United States. Thus, in virtually all instances, individual citizens are prohibited from importing prescription drugs into the United States."
It is also against RealSelf guidelines and terms of service to dicuss anything, which is deemed to be an illegal practice. We do this to keep everyone using RealSelf safe and protected, so please abide by our community rules and do not promote overseas sites, which sell prescription medication.
It is NOT illegal to purchase meds overseas. It is only illegal if you get a diagnosis and prescription from them and then purchase their meds. All drugs from ADC are FDA approved and legal.

Hi everyone!
about
Jay here. I'm reading alot these other products. I'm especially interested with the natural ones. First of, I'm a dude. I hear that girls dig guys with long lashes. I have short straight lashes and would like to make it longer. Do you think it will work on men? Thanks!
Yep, long lashes do look good on guys. It should work the same on you. If you try it please write a review so we can hear how it goes!
Please let us know how it works, I am especially interested on reports of Bamboo Lash.
Cheers!
