I purchased it a month ago and doctor did tell me not to expect results for 6-8 weeks, but I noticed yesterday that I have new eyelashes growing and I thing some of my eyelashes are longer now. I will keep using Latisse, i thing i have a little bit left in my bottle, I did experience irritation and hopefully it will go away

So... I did get some growth since last update....

So... I did get some growth since last update. yes, my eyelashes are a little darker now, which is great - I am redhead.. BUT irritation... my skin on my eyelids is almost always red. I guess I might have more sensitive skin than others... So it is red, and when I wake up the eyeballs are red too ... it really bothers me. What can I do???

Eyeballs : I tried to use it in the morning, it helped.
With eyelid puffiness and redness - still there..
I will wait two more days or so and then probably stop using Latisse if it wouldn't stop, because I cant even put any eyeshadows on, it is red and puffy and I look like I had been crying, I use lots of makeup to cover it

I will go see dermatologist tomorrow to see what to do regarding irritation. What I had been doing: i apply vaaseline to my eyelids nightly and I use Latisse in the morning. Red eyeballs went away. But my lids are puffy, irritated and itchy, it cant be right, I will see maybe she knows what to do or recommend me another product

Great review?

Kutanne, how did your appointment go?

my doctor told me to use less, or probably I am one of these people who are allergic. Like some percentage are allergics, so he thinks thats what it is.

hows your irritation?

The irritation will eventually go away. Hang in there!

I experienced irritation(itchy) at first with Latisse but, it eventually stopped. Took maybe 6 weeks to stop. Hang in there! My eye doctor said it's very safe and allowed me to continue use only two weeks after lasik surgery.

I used Latisse and had irritation too. I tried vaseline on my eyelids, it helped a little. With eyeballs, I guess you should apply less, or apply in the morning instead of night

thank you, I will try vaseline

That is great that you have seen some darkening of your lashes - much less great that its irritating your eyes. :(

Yay for showing growth earlier than expected!! Do you see any change in the color of your lashes, or are you just noticing a difference in length so far?
