Lash Boost concerns

[Amanah]

I know this is a weird topic for this forum, but, I think it is important to let women know.

This product boosts eyelash production, making eye lashes longer and thicker, and people who use it do have noticeably longer and thicker eyelashes (without using makeup)

I know someone who is selling it and wondered how much it costs, looking into that, I found several articles about side effects of using the product.

I'm posting this so that women are aware there are possible side effects

**************

Skincare product company Rodan + Fields faces a federal class action lawsuit accusing it of violating state consumer protection laws and engaging in fraudulent and unfair marketing of its Lash Boost eye serum. Rodan + Fields says its $150 Lash Boost gives users "the appearance of lush, longer-looking lashes." But the suit claims the multilevel marketing company failed to disclose the side effects of a key ingredient in Lash Boost.

The ingredient in question is a chemical called isopropyl cloprostenate, which is a type of medication called a prostaglandin analog. This one is used to treat eye conditions such as glaucoma. Rodan + Fields omitted information to Lash Boost buyers about the side effects of prostaglandin analogs that are well-known to eye doctors, according to the April 13 court filing in a U.S. District Court in Oakland, California.

"Consumers of Lash Boost ... have experienced serious side effects, including change(s) in iris color, eyelid drooping, itchy eyes, eye/lid discoloration, thinning and loss of eyelashes/loss of eyelash hair, eye sensitivity, eye infections, and vision impairment," the filing says.

But what is the real price of longer lashes? Latisse has well documented side effect potential. The main active ingredient bimatoprost is a chemical known as a prostaglandin analogue. Prostaglandins are chemical compounds found in naturally within almost all of our body's tissue that are responsible for signaling inflammation within the body. As such, it's no surprise that Latisse has been associated with common symptoms of inflammation around the eyes like swollen lids (also called chemosis), redness, itching, and watering. FDA clinical testing show about 4% of Latisse users experience itching, redness, and watering, while a much lower number experience an allergic reaction causing the eyelids to swell. In addition to chronic irritation, Latisse has also been known to darken the eyelid skin and the color of the iris in people with light brown or hazel eyes, as well as potentially causing a sunken eye appearance by shrinking the layers of orbital fat around the eye socket.

Here's a list of the most popular OTC lash growth serums using synthetic prostaglandin analogues in their formulas:
◾Xlash Eyelash Enhancer
◾Neulash
◾NeuveauBrow
◾RevitaLash
◾Nutraluxe MD Lash
◾M2 Lashes Eyelash activating serum
◾Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to die for Platinum
◾Rodan and Fields Lash Boost

Take Home: If you have chronic dry eye, or experience any increase in redness, watering, or eye irritation using these products, understand that you may be causing permanent damage to your delicate tear film and ocular surface. Listen to your body and discontinue use immediately if you experience any symptoms. There is a major push within the medical community to have the FDA put stronger regulations on beauty products that are using chemicals with known side effects without disclosing the risks involved, but regulation and oversight may be many years away. Just because a product is over the counter, doesn't mean that it is safe. Make sure you read the ingredients closely on all cosmetic and facial products that you use, and if you spot Isopropyl Cloprostenate in any product you are using around your eyelid, consider that lasting dry eye issues could result as a side effect.
