Mirror, mirror on the wall what’s the best lash grower of them all? Is it Latisse, RevitaLash, Jan Marini or possibly Nutra Luxe? With so many lash enchancers on the market, Beauty Undercover was desperate to find out which works best. So we brought in the eye expert, Dr. Wendy Lee, from Bascom Palmer Eye Institute in Miami, to get the skinny on growing thick, beautiful lashes.
Lee did the clinical trials on Latisee for Allergan. She says it’s the only FDA-approved lash enhancer on the market proven to increase length, thickness and darkness of lashes. “During clinical trials, patients noticed an increase in lash length (average 2mm) after 6 weeks of use.”
While there wasn’t such hard data for the other lash enhancers, Doctor Lee found they did have their own benefits. “They may contain proteins and vitamins that hydrate and nourish the lashes to promote the normal growth cycle of the lash, but they dont’ work exactly the same as Latisse,” explains Lee. In addition, during the studies she found Latisse’s other side effects which can include everything from eye irritation to changes in pigmentation are very rare.
Btw… Beauty Undercover hears that certain Westside patients are requesting doctors’ prescriptions for the drug Lumigan. (Lumigan was used strictly as a drug prescribed to treat Glaucoma, until a far-sighted doctor realized it also made eyelashes grow. It was the impetus for Latisse.) By running Lumigan through their medical insurance, patients are seeing big savings … talk about fringe benefits!
Dear Beauty Undercover:
I was just at my salon in Beverly Hills having my eyebrows shaped and updated. My stylist recommended I use a lash grower on my brows to fill in the spots that are a bit sparse after years of thin ‘Pamela Anderson’ brows. My dilema was chosing the right one. Now, you’ve given me the information I needed to make the right choice that will give me the results I’m paying for.
Thanks Beauty Undercover!
