OMEGA 3 6 AND 9! I am prone to dry sensitive eyes and used to get cysts and styes. really painful. So one eye doctor recommended omega fish oils (easier for body to absorb)so – upshot is, i have healthier eyes but also lashes are stronger and slightly longer. Probably as they should be, so, try it, it takes me two weeks to see my eye health improve and a month or more to get better eyelashes. You will only get healthier trying

I too am now seeing dark, fine facial hairs under my outer edge of my eyes. I’m going to contact an electrolicist and see about having them removed. I do not recommend laser hair removal as my technician refuses to laser facial hair. She has read numerous studies suggesting the laser may stimulate hair growth so she refuses to use the laser on their faces. Don’t know if these studies are accurate, but I won’t take the chance.

I use Revitalash for my lashes and have seen amazing results. I have tried every lash thickener under the sun and none worked as well as Revitalash!! Plus a doctor created it so I feel very safe using it.

I have been using Lilash for 5 months now and I do love the length of my lashes, they do look false because they’re so long, but I have decided not to purchase another Lilash due to the unwanted side-effects, I have little dark hairs under my eyes in the corners, I never had these before, and at the base of my eyelashes some of them look like they are actually GREY!!! this is horrible as I’m only 35 with naturally dark lashes, I hope to god when I stop using this product, which I’m going to do with immediate effect they will start to come back dark again. I feel that for just a little extra growth, there are too many side-effects for this product to be positive.

Hi Melissa,

Cosmetic Alchemy, the maker of Lilash, is currently involved in patent litigation with Allergan, the Latisse people. The trial date is 1/19/2010 (I got the info from the Allergan shareholder report here http://agn.client.shareholder.com/secfiling.cfm?filingID=1193125-09-105410 (scroll down to page 43 for legal proceedings). From this I would deduce that no, the product has not been reformulated YET— but given the way that other defendants named in this suit have been forced to reformulate their products it seems likely that Cosmetic Alchemy will have to also.

Lilash worked great for about 3.5 months for me. I did get the redness and a bit of the fuzz off to the sides of my lower lashes – but my lashes were gorgeous. It really does make a difference that ppl notice: thick and long lashes. A bit of concealer took care of the redness. I purchased a second tube and it doesn’t seem to be working. I am hesitant to believe that I have become “immune.” I am wondering if Lilash has also been reformulated (like Revitalash) and is not as effective anymore. With Latisse on the market now, the other companies may be under pressure to modify their ingredients if they are not FDA approved. Anyone have any knowledge of reformulation??

I used Revitalash after two failed attempts at lash extensions. It worked for about 6 months without any side effects. Crazy long lashes with not redness or extra facial hair. I stopped using after about 8 months. For the last two months it didn’t seem to work. It was like I was immuned to it. I decided to try Lilash after giving my lashes a break for year. After about 3-4 months my eyelashes were long and thick and growing in every direction. I got the extra fuzzy hair underneath my bottom lashes. One day when I looked in the mirror, I thought my eyeliner had smeared, and it was a patch of hair. It really freaked me out. I plucked them, but they grew back a few times. Tonight after I washed off my eye makeup, I really noticed the red upper eyelids. I’ve decided to stop using Lilash. I’ve been using it for about 9 months, and it worked for about 7-8 months, and I’ve noticed that the extra long lashes are gone, but the thickness is still pretty much there. The discolored eyelids are freaking me out, and I hope it goes away. Like the Revitalash, I think I have gotten immuned to the product and it’s not working anymore. I think they are all a temporary fix with the potential for some strange side effects. I may just live with my short stubby lashes, but at least I won’t have extra hairy patches on my face and discolored eyelids.

I’ve been using LiLash for almost 7 weeks now. Has anyone noticed the formula in the tube getting watery??? It dosen’t have the gel like consistency it first had. My lashes have gotten a bit longer but it feels like it stopped growing after the first 3 weeks. And I also have the little dark hairs under my lower lid upper cheek that wasn’t there before.

I have been using Lilash for about 5 months and I’ve have noticed very fine hairs growing on the top of my cheekbones under my eyes. I didn’t connect it with using Lilash until I read a review for Lilash on MakeupAlley, but I was wondering why they had started growing. I also think that my lower lash line is slightly darker because I was looking at some photos of me taken in July and I look like I’m wearing browny-red eyeliner, although my fiance says he can’t see it!
The strange thing is that I used the first version of Revitalash with no problem – in fact my lashes were totally amazing and I got so many comments and compliments. Then they re-formulated it without the prostaglandins and the second tube did nothing. That’s when I decided to use Lilash.

I’ve thrown my tube of Lilash away now as I’m so horrified about the hair growth thing! All of you ladies who also noticed hairgrowth in this area, has it now gone away again once you stopped/reduced usage of Lilash?

Just started using Lilash yesterday. Wish I would have read all these comments before purchasing, because now I’m quite nervous! My eyes were red today and a few close colleagues asked if I was okay. I’d love to have long lashes but not if the price is red eyes and facial hair!
Questions: Does the redness go away? For those of you that experienced this, is it better to apply at night or in the morning? I feel like it’s dry shortly after I apply and therefore won’t drip in my eye. Is it fine to apply mascara on top of it? Essentially, does anyone that initially got redness now love the product? I’m wondering if I should stick it out for a week or return immediately. Please advise!
