Sheila S. Nazarian, MD · Answer

There is no generic version of latisse. There are other products that claim to do the same thing although personally, I have not found them to be an issue. If it's a matter of cost, you could try using latisse every day until your lashes are the length that you want and then just use it every other day to maintain. Hope this helps, Dr. Nazarian

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

there is no generic versions of latisse, there are alternatives that do not have the medication that is used in this such as revitalash.  I suggest you continue to get latisse from your board certified physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Latisse is a prescription formula for making lashes longer and thicker.  There is no approved generic for Latisse.  Please be sure to purchase your Latisse from a licensed medical professional.

Although, there are products that claim to create thicker,longer eyelashes, there is no generic substitute for Latisse.  I have not found a product that works nearly as well as Latisse.   If cost is a factor, once you have established the length and thickness of lash that you like; many patients can maintain this effect by using the Latisse every other day, instead of everyday, cutting the cost in half.  best wishes, Dr. Lepore.

The formula for Latisse was discovered after Opthalmologists patients with open-angle glaucoma using prescribed eye drops developed beautiful long lashes. The drug is called Lumigan and still requires a prescription by a licensed physician. Warm Regards, Jennifer Murphy, MD
