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

Tasteful467Jul 10, 2019
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?

Good afternoon,It is unlikely that you will lose much gain you had while on Latisse. Because you have used the product for over 2 years worst case is your lash growth slows back down until you begin use again, which you have done already. Often times my patients purchase 2 boxes at once to a...
