Hi, thanks for your question. No, best not to use the expired Latisse medication and get new Latisse medication from your provider. Please speak to your provider if you have any other questions or concerns.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

To get the best results and avoid any possible adverse reaction from expired product, I recommend using a non-expired product. You should apply the Latisse once a day at the base of the upper eyelashes to grow thicker longer and darker lashes.  See link below.  Best, Dr. Emer
