What Time of Day Should I Apply Latisse?

Question

I wondered if I could apply Latisse in the AM instead at bed time? I have other 'eye treatment' that needs to be done at bed time. I use lubricant for a dry eye syndrome.

Try to apply the Latisse around the same time daily in order to maximize compliance with the eyelash stimulator. Surgery90210

It is advised that you apply Latisse at night, after cleansing and before you go to bed, so that it can be properly absorbed to improve effectiveness. If you can guarantee that you'll apply Latisse in the morning after you've cleansed your face, and allowed the product to dry before applying anything else, then it may be okay. However, please note that all clinical research on Latisse was conducted on nightime application.

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

Latisse can be applied at any time of day.  The important thing is to establish a routine and maintain it.

Jeff Donovan, MD, PhD · Answer

The most important aspect of Latisse application, by far, is to be consistent. My patients have had success with a great variety of different routines. It's important to note that the clinical studies with Latisse all involved nightime application - so that's the primary recommendation. Morning application is also acceptable provided the product dries before any other makeup is applied.

Latisse can be used any time of day, but you will want to ensure that you maintain a consistent time so you can establish a routine.
