Hello Everyone :)
I'm a 42 year old female who had very short, thin eyelashes and brows. My Doc, in her 60's talked to me about Latisse - she uses it herself. She has had no patients with serious side effects. I found the cost too much for extended use so decided to try Careprost - Pics attached - I've had no side effects, my hubby uses it too now with great success and no issues. All of my girlfriends use it now too -even the blue eyed ones - I attached pics of before, after with no make up so you can see my eyes haven't sunken in, turned color ect and with mascara so you can see the real results :) I just use a drug store mascara.
Really happy with the results. I've used for approx 1 year now. I got it from a Canadian Supplier -I know we can't say where but am comfortable with my supplier and happy with the results.
My doctor knows I use the product and thinks my results are great - same as I would achieve with Latisse.

NO SIDE EFFECTS FROM CAREPROST - Stop the diagnosis.
Please Note: I have had NO side effects. I started using Cellex-C around my eyes to treat crapey skin and wrinkles and it worked wonders but I have had NO , ZERO side effects and would appreciate if the diagnosis' would discontinue.

I've used Careprost for years with no side effects at all, and I do have sensitive skin. It's really an awesome product. I too recommend Canadian Careprost because after a couple failed attempts to order cheaper Careprost and once bought fake stuff from a girl in the news paper (should of know right) finally I have a real supplier with a solid product. Great pics. I'll have to see if I have any befores, I know I have afters :)
UPDATED FROM Promisekeeper
CAREPROST BEFORE & AFTER - NO SIDE EFFECTS
I took this picture this morning after all the comments from members diagnosing me with fat atrophy.
I'm 42, I have crapey type skin around my eyes. I started using Cellex C Vit C / B which has really done wonders for the texture of my skin from sun damage/aging/wrinkles and crapey skin.
I have no side effects from Careprost. You can even see the skin around my eyes hasn't darkened, I have no itch and I certainly haven't lost any fat around my eye - which I really don't have that much of.
I think that the critiques need to consider that we as reviewers are not professionals at photo's - sometimes I'm sure my eyebrow is raised making the eye seem to have less of a hood, or the lightening - I'm not great at eye photo's.
Careprost has really been wonderful for me, my friends, my hubby (I still laugh a little when he's talking and I see his gorgeous lashes - very cute) My doctor again has had no patients with serious side effects. I think woman should be comfortable trying Careprost / Latisse - which ever.

I think you reyes and lashes look great!

Thank you, I do too. I'm 42, so with long lashes (which I've never had before!! haa) I wear less make-up (no eyeliner) so it's a much more pretty, youthful look. I just use Careprost now about 4 days a week.

I love the lashes lumigen ha given me too! I got tattoo eyeliner! Love it! Had brows done too. Filled in a scar in the middle of my brow where there was no hairs. But there is now from using lumigen on brows

People are only trying to be helpful about stating the risks of this product, including periorbital fat loss. I find it more helpful to hear real life experiences versus opinions from doctors or drug companies that have financial incentives to used certain products. You shouldn't be offended by the comments and I'm sorry if you were. There is also one clinical study that did confirm this was a side effect, so it's not like there is no information to support it either. I was absolutely in love with this product and swore to be lifetime user, until 6 mos later I noticed my eyes looked slightly off in pics and I started feeling my brow bone and noticed my eyes were less hooded. And just because it's not listed as a side effect on the product and your doctor doesn't know of patients with the issue doesn't mean it isn't possible. Sometimes side effects are added later after studies, etc. to support or whatnot. This product has only been used for lashes for maybe 5-10 years at most so I'm sure long-term effects aren't even established. Everyone also reacts differently so even if 90% of people don't have the issue if doesn't mean it doesn't happen for some. It could be perfectly fine for you and not for others. It wasn't worth the risk for me so I stopped. If you are happy with it, certainly continue. Your lashes look awesome and you're happy with the results so that's all that matters. I may post my pics at some point, but the difference is quite subtle regarding fat loss.

Agree. I want to read everyone's comments, good and bad, in order to get the best information possible. I prefer this sort of feedback from real users abd not the pharmaceuticals or doctors. Doctors I read for medical information but product value is more beneficial to me from us users.

I'm not "offended", and want to be clear I have had no side effects. I in no way appreciated the diagnose of orbital fat loss in the comments. Doctor's state the risk, they also prescribe to many many patients, examine and ensure we are using the product correctly. If you'll note the comments were Diagnosing me with orbital fat loss. I really don't think that anonymous comments online are more reliable. For every medication, beauty product, health products there will be those who can not tolerate it, but I think it's important to ensure that the majority of us users who are getting wonderful results, with no side's are sharing with woman and men who are interested in trying it. I just can't get behind the culture of fear and judgement.

Hi they look great! Eventually we all get peri-fat loss. We as human loss a lot of beauty? But if it makes u happy go for it. I don't see any fat loss at all!

I couldn't disagree more strongly- there are MANY women on here who've experienced the orbital fat loss- I'm glad you have not- but you may over time. Had I known there was even a 1% chance of this happening I never would have touched this stuff! The hollowing affect is dramatic in me and makes me look aged and sickly. I never comment on boards etc but doing it now trying to find out if most people heal- and to give a heads up to others that this can happen :(

Thanks for starting a review and posting pics! Your results are amazing.
Also, thank you for not posting where you purchase it (because it is against our Community Guidelines for anyone who is wondering why).
I'm using it on my brows now. I'm very happy with the results. It took me a little while how to do this ideally... The best results have been first shaping my brows how I want them to grow. I apply every night only where I want my brows to be fuller. I dont pluck (only really stray hairs) and instead comb and trim the brows. They look great now - I wish I had taken brow before pics. My brows are shaped better, they are fuller. I think the results make it worth while to be consistent with until you get your desired results.
