I've been using Latisse for 4 weeks now and I am starting to see my little tiny lashes start to grow but I am also getting dark circles under my eyes which I don't usually have. Is anyone else exhibiting this side effect?

Answer: Dark Circles from Latisse One of the side effects of Latisse is minor coloring of the skin that you apply the product to. This can look like a light pink line above the lashes (like an eyeliner line). Be sure that you are not allowing any excess product to drip on any other part of your face or eye. This could increase growth of hair in those areas as well as light pigmentation. Luckily, this coloration is reversible and will disappear after stopping the application for several weeks to a couple months. The dark circle under the eye could possibly be from trace amounts of solution getting on the lower lid, especially if you are using Latisse on the lower lid line.To avoid this from happening, only use minimal amount of product (a little goes a long way!) and only use on your upper lashes. You can also purchase an inexpensive eye-liner brush from the drugstore and use this instead of the brushes that come with the product. It allows for more controlled and direct application. Hope that helps!

Answer: Dark Circles beneath the eyes assoc. with Latisse If you apply Latisse on the lower eyelashes then there is a risk that the product will spill onto the skin of the lower eyelid. This can cause a staining of the skin since it is capable of hyperpigmentation in this area.
