My dermatologist's office had a special of buy two get one free, so I bought 3 boxes. It's about 4 weeks now, and I'm really happy with the lashes that are growing in.

To save some money, they recommended that I squeeze one drop into the little bottle cap, then apply the liquid with a soft little brush (I use a small watercolor brush, but an eyeliner brush will work as well). One drop is enough for both upper and both lower lashes, then I use what's left to touch up my inner and outer eyebrow thin spots. I'm not having any side efeects, and am usually pretty sensitive.

After many months of using Latisse, my eyes became very sensitive to it. Lids would get very red and stinging, so I quit. Within a few months, the length of my lashes is gone. The thickness as well, thought they are still thicker than they used to be. Wish I could use the stuff again.

Dr. is good for health type issues but not as good at cosmetic procedures.

Hi, yes, I use occasionally on my brows to keep them filled in, but never every day. So far I've not had ill effects. My eye doctor confirmed that I had developed an allergy to Latisse. He though it was not uncommon. If I could use it again, I would.

Sorry to hear you can't use Latisse due to your allergy. Did your Doctor suggest any alternatives?
