I have alopecia areata .. lose hair when very stressed ... and eyelashes .. so I started using Latisse at $125 per tiny bottle years ago .. at first was great .. my lashes did not get thick only long and I was so happy ! After about a year my lashes grew in crooked.. making it difficult to wear mascara and I began tweezing or cutting them because they were so scrambled up ... I ran out last time months ago it now sold only by bigger quantity so $175 in the US ... I have now noticed that both eyelids but one in particular is very dark .. I thought this entire time I wasn't quite getting makeup off...! so now I have to wear concealer on eyelids because it looks like I haven't removed all my makeup off. Very obvious .. Dark eyes ... the second you stop using it your eyelashes fall off. NOT WORTH the hassle .. the darkened skin .. and the money ... I have less lashes on one side but they are growing out a bit and I'm ok with that .. HATE the darkened eyelids !!

I'm so glad you wrote this! The same thing happened to me! My eyelashes started growing in all crooked and curly to the point of not being able to see them. I haven't used it in years, and I am still plucking out crazy eyelashes. Thank you again. I was tempted to try again, but it's not worth it!
I used Latisse for almost a year. The changes are very subtle and gradual and therefore are not noticeable at first. It wasn't really until people started asked me if I was tired all the time that I started putting it all together.
I loved the longer lashes while I had them, but the side effects and long term risk are not work it! Wish I had been warned more about these side effects before I started using it.
