WORTH IT$100

I've been using the generic for Latisse called Bimatoprost bought from an online pharmacy. It's been about 14 weeks and I can see a big difference. At first I applied it every night for the first month, then about every other day and now it's about every third day.

My eyes still do get itchy and red at times but I feel it's worth it. I've seen a huge difference from my tiny lashes to fuller longer lashes. During the first month I had some lashes that grew long but a patch of short lashes, eventually this evened out and I'm really happy with the results. I will keep using this until I ran out and probably buy another bottle then. To apply it I bought an eyeliner brush and use just one drop of product for both eyes. I only took a before pictures with my eyes closed for some reason, but here are some afters with my eyes open as well.

Wow, you have gorgeous eyes, even before the Latisse!

I agree, you have beautiful eyes to begin with! I also have been very pleased with Latisse. I am now on my second bottle (my doc sold me 3 bottles at a "discount" but still cost $380 for 3). I did find the generic, as you stated, in an online pharmacy at a fraction of the price; I bought some for my future needs. My dermatologist told me that I can stop the daily application after the 16 weeks and only use it 2 a week. I have this neurosis:-) that I might wake up without lashes if I do not use it daily so I am still using it nightly. My reward was when my husband told me that he could see my eyelashes while he was in another part of the room. He calls my lashes "amazing." Just this morning, I was reading something to him from the newpaper and he remarked how long and lush my eyelashes have become. Because of the Latisse effect, I just buy a regular no-frills mascara and my lashes still look good. I figure, those expensive ones claim to give me volume and length but what Latisse did, they could not so I just buy Maybelline (the cheapest they sell) and I still have amazing lashes. I am looking forward to using the generic Bimatoprost; it is as cheap as Maybelline almost! Good luck to all. BTW, I also think my left eye's lashes are not as long as the right but I am the only one who notices- we are all asymmetrical.

What Online company did you purchase from?
May 22, 2010
that isn't a discount at all - its usually around 12o from an Allergan approved Dr. Also they should have offered to sign you up for the Allergan program which gives you discounts every now and again. Most Doctors do a 'buy 2, get one free' deal. I wouldnt purchase from your Doctor again - you are better off to go and buy it from a clinic. NO appt should be needed to purchase - any Doc charging an appt fee is also ripping people off. I work for a Cosmetic Rejuvenation Medical Clinic - so know this info for sure. :)

Hey i ordered through {edited} and they didn't even process my order = i found out 5 days later - so i DONT recommend them. Ordered through {edited} and it took about 8 business days. just arrived. am impressed with the service - was 55$ for 3 bottles and delivery. the brush they send is much better for applying the product - the Latisse one wastes too much product. am VERY excited - thank for the referral to {edited}. kylie
