Revitalash seems to be have some controvertial side effect, it seems.. not sure what to think

My eyelashes took ages to come back about 4 or 5 months after last chemo. Both my eyebrow and eyelashes are much more sparse and my eyelashes very short now although I am happy to have some(I thought they may not come back). but yep do not go now without mascara and I am thinking of tattooing my eyebrow..

wish the bad comment on revitalash did not exist I would have definitely got some, now I am not sure..
