In reply to Oly. Anything you don't need a prescription for is considered over the counter. So, everything except Latisse and other Bimatoprost products.

In reply to Christine. Which one would be considered over the counter? And thank you very much for your responses and all the info on here!

In reply to Oly.

Both of these things are known side effects of prostaglandins and their analogues. It is MUCH more likely to happen with latisse than an over the counter.

It’s actually hyperpigmentation, not just changing the blood flow, and it’s somewhat thought to be reversible but isn’t always. The fat under the eyes actually can atrophy away (meaning, it basically dies), and that isn’t reversible though you can get tear trough filler that’s less visible. You can also get irritation/dryness/itchiness of the lids, that’s a temporary effect that goes away with continued use.

Basically, all of these side effects are thought to be due to the prostaglandin analogues. To avoid you pretty much just need to use an over the counter version (I’ve only had irritation, never the other side effects personally, I only use over the counter), or if you’re still having issues then switch to a lash serum without a prostaglandin.

Hello! I just have a general question. There are claims out there that lash serums make your lids age/appear aged faster, because they dry your lids and also drain whatever liquid and fat there is, making lids even thinner than they are. Have you heard anything about this?
Also, the only serum of the multiple ones I have tried that worked for me was LiLash, but it makes my already veiny lids even more burgundy because all the veins can be seen more. I assume that is because of all the blood flow to the lashes so they grow longer? Is there a way to avoid it and might it cause any issues in the future?

In reply to Amber M.. Your lashes “fell out” because the serum keeps them from shedding. That’s how they get so long. So when you stop use of the serum they go on to do what they are supposed to do.. which is shed.
