Latisse is an eyelash enhancement product that can make you have fuller, longer, thicker and luscious lashes; you may have seen the commercials with Brooke Shields promoting the product. Latisse is only available through prescription and is aimed at helping people who have hypotrichosis, “a technical term for having too few eyelashes,” states EyeLash-Growth.com.
Some people have reported having allergic reactions after using the product, and there also are a few side effects that are common when using Latisse, but most of the side effects “are reversible once the use of the product is discontinued,” reports EyeLash-Growth.com.
To help you decide if Latisse is right for you, EyeLash-Growth.com has provided a detailed list of the pros and cons of using Latisse:
