WHAT TO WATCH FOR
Side Effects
Common side effects from Latisse may include mild eye redness, itching, irritation, dryness, watery eyes, eyelid darkening, or longer and thicker lashes. Some people may also notice sensitivity around the eyes or unwanted hair growth if the serum touches surrounding skin.
When to pause and get help
Stop using the serum and seek medical evaluation if severe irritation develops, vision becomes blurry, swelling occurs, eye infections appear, or if there are unexpected changes in eye color or the surrounding skin.

Who needs a safety review?
Before using this product
Latisse lash serum should not be used, or should only be used with medical clearance, by individuals who are allergic to bimatoprost or any of its ingredients, have active eye inflammation or infections, glaucoma, elevated eye pressure, or who already use prescription prostaglandin eye drops such as Lumigan, latanoprost, or travoprost. Those with a history of retinal swelling, certain cataract surgeries, chronic dry eye, recurrent eye infections, or recent eye procedures should also use caution and consult an eye specialist beforehand. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals are generally advised to avoid it due to limited safety data. Additionally, people concerned about orbital fat loss or a more hollow or sunken appearance around the eyes may want to avoid prostaglandin-based lash serums like Latisse, as they have been associated with periorbital fat atrophy in some users. Common side effects may include redness, itching, irritation, eyelid darkening, dry eyes, and unwanted hair growth if the serum spreads onto surrounding skin, while rare cases of permanent iris darkening have also been reported.
Conditions and medicines to review
Medical conditions and medications that should be reviewed before use include glaucoma, elevated eye pressure, dry eye syndrome, eye infections, recent eye surgery, retinal conditions, or use of prescription eye drops such as prostaglandin medications like Lumigan, latanoprost, or travoprost. Pregnancy and breastfeeding should also be discussed with a medical provider before starting treatment.
