Eyelashes--Need Some!

Has anyone tried the new stuff they are advertising to help grow eyelashes? I think it's called Latrisse (not sure of the spelling).

If so, did it work or did you have any problems with using it? I had very few before chemo so as you can imagine I really don't have any now.

My hair and eyebrows are growing well, along with my facial hair I could do without, but my eyelashes don't seem to be getting any better.
