Latisse has been extensively tested and is approved as safe and effective by the FDA. SmartLash did not get reviewed and tested by the FDA and is sold over the counter where it can make ALMOST any claim it wants to. Latisse has a scientifically proven hair growing ingredient while SmartLash contains " Marsupium Bark extract, Apigenin, Panthenol, Mannitol, Lecithin and soybean oil" . The Pterocarpus marsupium, or the Indian Kino Tree has been used in Indian medicine as an astrigent and treat inflammation and Diabetes. Panthenol an alcohol version of Vit B5 is used as a hair lubricant and conditioner. NEITHER of them has been shown to GROW hair. As for the reviews, look at politics and opinion polls. Don't you ever wonder how misguided some of your fellow Americans really can be? Everyone has an enthusiastic opinion on everything. But that does not make it valid. I would go with science rather than voodoo any day.
Latisse is the only FDA approved product on the market. It has been tested and proven safe for eyelash enhancement. I only recommend Latisse to my friends, family, and patients. Hope this helps. Dr. Grant Stevens

Unfortunately, the FDA has little control over companies making claims such as these.
Did your physician give you this free sample of Lumigan for your eyelashes, or was it given to you to treat glaucoma? Latisse is only FDA approved for eyelash treatment at 0.03%. Also, Lumigan doesn't normally come with the correct brushes to apply it like Latisse. Are you dropping it in...
You are not alone! About 90% of people who use Latisse, according to one pooled study, have mild side effects -- of course, they are so mild and people like the product so much that most of them keep using it anyway. The most common side effects are mild inflammation, which makes sense,...
There are two issues. The first is that you should only use the drug that has been prescribed by your doctor. If you'd like to use Latisse, please ask your doctor first before using. However, I don't think it is a viable replacement for Lumigan. The second issue is purchasing a product labeled...
