Latisse can darken and/or redden the skin in the area where it is applied, but it's temporary and will go away after you stop using it.
Latisse can indeed darken the skin a little in the area that it is used. If this is a concern, take a break from latisse or try using it less often. There are also fading creams with hyroquinone, retinol or tretinoin, etc., which your dermatologist can consider for you as well.
I would discuss your concerns with your physician. Usually discontinuation of Latisse will cause the discoloration to resolve. It is unusual to get such diffuse discoloration if you are applying the product with the enclosed applicators to the eyelashes only.
Latisse does have a side effect of eyelid pigmentation. I would recommend that you go back your eyeMD and that you stop Latisse. Often, but not always, the pigmentation will reduce off of Latisse. Once on Latisse, your eyes should be examined for side effects.
I would see your Latisse prescribing physician to see if this hyperpigmentation is truely due to the Latisse. The solution can be slightly irritating, causing a fine line of hyperpigmentation at the lashline- not usually under the eyes on the lower lids. If due to the Latisse, the discoloration will fade when you stop using the solution.
