Legitimate Eyelash Growth Enhancer Coming to a Store Near You

Remember back when the Beauty Brains told you about a company developing a legitimate product for improving eyelash growth?  Well, that product is one step closer to reality, now that the FDA has confirmed a bimatoprost derivative appears to increase eyelash length and thickness. (You can read the entire 108 page report here).

Eyelash Growth Proof

In the study cited by the FDA, 78% of people showed an improvement versus 18% of people using a placebo control.  Also, only 4 subjects in the 278 person trial reported eye problems.  This is the kind of evidence that was lacking with the Jan Marini Eyelash product.  The fact that bimatoprost was a patented ingredient by Allergan also had something to do with Jan Marini’s troubles.

When Can you get Latisse?

Allergan still has some hoops to jump through, but once a panel of independent medical experts vote on the new product, it’s as good as approved.  Since it is a drug, the product, called Latisse, will only be available through prescription.  That should be sometime during 2009.
