Can I apply Vaseline to eyes and eyelashes after using Latisse?

Question

I use differin gel for acne. I apply Vaseline to sensitive areas like eyes, corners of nose, and around the mouth to ensure no extra irritation happens incase the gel comes in contact with those areas. Before I apply those products I put Latisse on first and wait 15 to 30 minutes for it to absorb. Then, I go in with Vaseline and continue as before, but my concern is does Vaseline prevent some absorption of Latisse after its already been applied?

Jamil Ahmad, MD · Answer

Hi, as long as the Latisse medication has dried, you should be fine to apply Vaseline afterwards, this should not have an affect on the effectiveness of Latisse. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to consult your Latisse provider.

Mauricio Giraldo, MD, FAACS · Answer

That should be an appropriate amount of time to allow the Latisse to dry. Using Vaseline should not affect the effectiveness

As long as the Latisse is dry on the lashes before you apply the Vaseline it will be fine. "This answer has been solicited without seeing this patient and
