Does Latisse work better than Revitalash?

Does Latisse work better than Revitalash? I still have a lot of Revitalash left, and I'm not sure if it's worth if for me to switch to Latisse...

ANSWER:

Both will work, but Latisse has studies showing proven results

Revitalash works well for many people. Reviatalash's new formulation has a different ingredient than bimatoprost, but it is still a prostaglandin-related analog that has the same side effect of growing hair. They had to change their formulation within the last year, but it is still effective and the results can be dramatic. However, this is labelled as a cosmetic by the FDA, not as a drug; therefore, studies to prove consistent results haven't been done to the best of my knowledge.

Latisse has the same ingredient as the glaucoma drug, Lumigan (made by Allergan). This medication has been extensively studied and the effects on eyelash growth, fullness, and thickness studied. This medication has been proven to predictably and reliably grow eyelashes in approximately 80% of people using it. It is FDA approved, and you won't be able to get it without a prescription from your doctor.

If you have revitalash, and it works for you, there is no need to go get Latisse. But, if the Revitalash you have is not giving you any results, it may be worthwhile to try Latisse when it's released.
