I've been using Latisse for 2 months, I only just started to notice my longer, darker eyelashes recently and was excited. But along with that I also started noticing small fine hairs sprouting around my eye (under lower lash line) and upper cheek, and I'm absolutely horrified by it. What am I doing wrong, am I applying too much, and most importantly, if I stop applying the product will this unwanted growth reverse back to its original (non-existent) or has it permanently grown out?

Latisse is best used on clean eyelashes. The glue from the extensions can inhibit the Latisse actually absorbing, so it's best to not have them on when using Latisse. If you insist, you can, but just know that you will not get the same growth rate and some eyelashes may not receive any product...
This is the most common question (but usually regarding making the Iris darker) I hear and from the studies, I don't believe that they show anyone who has had iris color changes with applying Latisse to their lashes-- if this side effect occurs, it is very rare.
They saw these changes when...
All medications like Latisse as well as treatments that are used for cosmetic purposes should be discontinued during pregnancy. There are no studies to show it is safe, nor are there ever likely to be such studies done.
