Latisse should continue to work after 3 years as long as the product continues to be applied. Although there will be phase when lashes will fall out, the new growth phase should follow.

There is no reason that Latisse should stop working if you are using it regularly. If you stop using Latisse, lashes will gradually return to their previous appearance.
There is no clinical evidence to support that Latisse should stop working at any point. I've had no patients report that it stopped or lessened over time, and my staff has used it since the day it became available and all are still using it effectively.
Latisse should work for as long as you wish to apply it. Latisse works by increasing the amount of time each eyelash hair remains in the growing phase. The growth phase of an average eyelash hair is approximately 1 to 2 months. There are approximately 100 to 150 eyelashes on each upper eyelid. The growth of eyelashes is cyclical, going through 3 stages: a growth phase, a transition phase, and a resting phase. Since there are always new hairs entering the growth phase, Latisse should continue to be effective.
Latisse does tend to grow the lower lashes as well. The upper eyelashes will transfer some of the product to the lower eyelashes.
After you have achieved your lash potential, you can switch to a twice weekly maintenance schedule. --
Latisse is the only drug approved by the FDA for growing eyelashes. Interchanging other similar drugs or drugs in the same families may be reasonable, but the truth is they have not been tested for that purpose.
Latisse has several side effects reported on the website. However, acne is not listed as one of the side effects.
Try to use as little of the product as possible and apply it just to the lashes. If you find yourself still having irritation, discontinue use.
