Can I Apply Latisse over Tretinoin? Is It Safe?

Latisse, the only FDA-cleared product to geom longer darker and fuller eyelashes, is applied to the skin at the base of the eyelash hair follicles of the upper eyelid. You would not be putting TRetinoin in the same area so it should be OK.

What are you doing applying tretinoin to your eyelashes. This is supposed to be kept away from your eyes. Have you discussed this with your ophthalmologist?

Tretinoin (Retin-A) is used commonly for fine lines, skin texture, acne, age spots and collagen stimulation.  It is not commonly recommended or used on the eyelids where Latisse would be applied.  Latisse should be applied to a clean upper eyelid at the lash margin...like you would apply eyeliner.  So, there really should be not reason you couldn't use both products, if you are using them as indicated.
