How long after putting on Latisse can I use an eyelid cream? How long does it take for Latisse to dry?

Question

I am just starting to use Latisse to grow eye lashes.. I wanted to know how long after applying it can I put on my eyelid cream . How long does Latisse take to dry? Hoping for good results.. I am growing out only one application of Eye extensions. They are too high maintenance and you can only use an oil free eye cream with them. Most eye creams have oil and I cant go without eye cream for creepy lids.

Hello, Latisse should be applied at the root of the eyelashes, while the eye cream should not be applied too close to the eye. After a few minutes of applying Latisse, you can go ahead and apply the eye cream, just make sure the area where you applied the Latisse has been dried. Hope this helps.

You will love Latisse once you start using it and see the results. You can use any eye cream at the same time because you will be putting them in different locations. Latisse goes on the top of your top eyelash and will seep down to the lower eyelid. It does not take Latisse long to dry, but a little does go a long way so use sparingly. Enjoy your long lashes!

Latisse, properly applied in very small amounts, should dry quite quickly, within a few minutes.  Furthermore, eyelid creams typically are not applied right along the lash line so there should not be any overlap in the application areas.  I would suggest waiting a few minutes, then applying the eyelid cream without worries.

apply your eyelid cream. it is important not to get too much latisse on the lash or it will run onto your eyelid where long term users begin to notice some hollowing of the eyes (google PAP / latisse) 
technique is key here! hope this helps!

You can use your eye cream a couple of minutes after the Latisse dries. You should be able to feel that it is dry.
