This would kind of be like comparing Restylane and Juvederm - even though they are both hyaluronic acid fillers, they are not the same. Latisse is the only product FDA approved for eyelash growth. Careprost is not comparable and you cannot be guaranteed the same results.

No.  Latisse is the ONLY FDA approved product on the market.  It has been scientifically proven to enhance your lashes by doubling the fullness, increasing the length, and darkening of the hair within the first 16 weeks of use.

Good luck

Latisse and Careprost are both bimatoprost ophthalmic solution 0.03%. However, Latisse is trhe only treatment that has been scientifically proven to stimulate the growth of eyelashes. Many studies have been done to prove its effectiveness using unbiased observers. At present, Latisse is the only FDA approved treatment for growing eyelashes.
