Bimatoprost is Latisse's main ingredient. Why not purchase it for much less?

I have seen many generic Bimatoprost bottles selling for easily 75% cheaper than Latisse, and Bimatoprost is the active ingredient in Latisse, at 0.03%. Why not purchase bimatoprost?

Latisse can make your lashes grow longer, thicker and darker, but there is no guarantee that they'll curl as well. To give your lashes shape, an eyelash curler can be used.

Yes. You can continue wearing contacts when you're using Latisse. The key is to wait about 15 minutes after applying Latisse before re-inserting as this gives the product enough time to dry.

Your eyelashes will grow back. You will have to wait a full eyelash growth cycle which is different for everyone but somewhere between 3 - 16 weeks. Latisse is not necessary for this to take place.

I can not give any recommendations as I am not well versed with Revitalash. Although, these symptoms are usually treated with flushing the eye with water or normal saline, discontinue use of the product and follow up with the manufacturer of the product. All the best.

Is it better to get Latisse or eyelash extensions?

Eyelash extensions can break your natural lashes and take months to grow back. Latisse lengthens and thickens your eyelashes. It depends on the look you like. Latisse is worth a try and is easy to maintain. Latisse typically costs $200 / 5 ml bottle. Also, there is no second party...
