Re: Eyelashes--Need Some!
i used a lash conditioner since november and never lost all my lashes. i'd say i have about half my upper lashes and i hope that since it's been 2 mos since chemo no more will fall out (knock wood). it just so happens that i read up on eyelash regrowth products the other day and i found this site to be the most helpful and seemingly unbiased: http://truthinaging.com/eyes/eyelash...are-they-safe/
based on the fact that Latisse is so bloody expensive and you have to get a prescription and probably pay 100% of the doctor's visit, not to mention questionable possible side effects, i chose Folligen. the price is right, and it got good reviews on the site. i might have opted for Revitalash but one woman had a bad allergic reaction and i am not into paying over a hundred bucks for something that might give me eye problems (same goes for Latisse). so for $17.99 on amazon i am giving Folligen a go. valerie
