Latisse Effectiveness After Years of Use?

Anna56053Jan 22, 2013
I started using Latiese as soon as it came on the market. I had great results and I loved my lashes. In the last few months it has quit working. I have kept using it faithfully but my lashes are back to their stubs. Any ideas? Have you heard of this before.
