Do I Apply Latisse to Eyebrows Before or After Applying Moisturizer?

Question

Although not FDA approved, I have recently started to apply Latisse to my over-plucked eyebrows (one drop on each brow). I would like to know if I should apply Latisse to my brows before or after using my facial moisturiser? My skin can feel quite dry without using it, and the Latisse slightly exasperates this problem- I am worried however that applying moisturiser before/after may diminish the effects of Latisse? Thanks in advance for your advice...

Please note that Latisse is only FDA approved for the eyelashes, however there are reports that it can achieve an improvement for brows as well. This would be an off-label use, though. It should be applied before you put on anything else, including moisturizer.

Latisse is best applied to a clean surface. Before getting started, be sure to remove makeup and contacts. Apply your moisturizer after the Latisse treatment.

Thank you for your question.

	Although this has not been tested or FDA approved (off label use), I have had patients tell me that it is effective.  Put the Latisse on first and then your moisturizer.

	 Best wishes.

Although this is an off label use, there have been recent reports of its effectiveness for eyebrows. Latisse should be applied prior to any other cream or moisturizer.

In our practice we recommend applying the Latisse before bed time.  Avoid using the moisturizer around your eyebrows when applying the Latisse for best results.
