WORTH IT$120

I'm Japanese-American so of course by genetics, my eyelashes are sparse and hard to curl.

I'm in week 6 and still haven't seen any real results in length or darkening. Is anyone else who is Asian having this same issue?

Hi! I am not asian and I've only been using the product for 2 weeks. I would advise you to be patient and use the product for the full 14 weeks, then make a decision at that time to stao using it if it hasn't worked for you or contuine if it kicks in down the line. This stuff works differently on everyone, so just be patient and use it for the full 16 weeks. By the way where di you purchase it? On line, Dr. Pharmacy... Let me know!

Yeah, I'm going to keep going forward. The product is way too expensive to stop now. As for your question, I went locally through a private practice dermatologist, not through my general physician. Called, no appointment needed, walked in, was assessed, walked out 30 mins later with latisse. It also helped that the esthetician had used latisse and it worked for her.

it took me at least 3 months to see any results, but by the 4th month 80% of my lashs were longer, still waiting for the last 20% (small area) to grow in. keep using it and be patient. you will see results!

I'm Asian American also and I been using it on and off for a month now (sometimes I'm too tired to apply it on my eyelids - so its been almost every other night I apply them) and I noticed an increase in eyelashes but not in length. So far so good! I have only 4 set of brush left and that's from the first box.

I'm also Asian and have been using it for 2 months. I have not noticed any noticeable difference, but will continue for another 2 months. I will post again at that time.

I didn't start noticing real results well into my 8th week. It DOES work but I just can't afford it anymore.

I am currently researching as much as I can about Latisse before actually purchasing it. (I found a great deal, 2 bottles of Latisse for $75!!) I too, am an Asian American and have ALWAYS wanted longer, thicker lashes. I've done eyelash extensions and had a good experience with them but I would much rather spend money on something that will make MY own lashes longer. Most my questions and concerns have been answered by reading everyone's comments but I had a few more questions if you don't mind my asking.
How long does a bottle of Latisse last?
Is it true that you have to use it everyday for the first 4 months but after that, applying it once or twice a week is fine and will maintain your long lashes?
And lastly, Has anyone else been having a problem with dark circles as a side effect?

I have been using Latisse for 17 weeks now. According to the instructions you have to use it everyday for 16 weeks. Then to maintain use it every other day. I followed the instructions and my lashes are amazing! Longer, thicker and so naturally dark I never have to use mascara.

I'm Asian with typical sparse, stubby, short lashes. I used Latise for about 5 months. I loved it, but got lazy and stopped using it for a while, and now I'm back. Keep at it and be patient. I didn't start seeing noticeable results until about week 10 and then the results seemed to manifest much more quickly. By week 12, I finally had eye lashes long enough to curl. (Yes, my lashes in their natural state are TOO short to stick into a lash curler). By week 16, I stopped using mascara - there was no point since my lashes were long enough to brush against the lenses of my sunglasses whenever I blinked. I saw more lengthening than thickening of my lashes (I guess everyone reacts differently), but it was completely worth it.
