| On other boards I have seen a couple people who have said the new formula doesnt work,they are returning it. Has anyone seen success yet?I noticed that on ebay the new JM sells for 100 and the old JM sells for 250! If the new formula doesnt work I suppose there will be a run on revitlash. |

I have seen some difference...lashes are slightly longer...I was a false eyelash addict and loved using the individual Eyelure ones on my outer corners. These areas have grown back and seem fuller after two and a half weeks of twice daily application
I do wonder though if that has anything to do with time passing rather than the Jan Marini...Why o why didn't I jump on the bandwagon a year ago when the original formulation was out?
Once I figure out how to post photos I can show you guys the difference...yes, I was sad enough to do before and afters!  |

I'm using the new formula and my lashes are responding incredibly well. Today I applied mascara and took a double-take -- my lashes nearly looked false they were so long.
It hasn't even been three weeks yet, by the way (my hair does tend to grow very fast). Super happy with it. |

I'm so glad to hear that some people are seeing results ... I've been using the new JM for 2 mos now, but I don't really see anything yet. Before that, I had eyelash extensions, and I'm sure my natural lashes are still recovering from that. (In fact, I still have a few of those old extensions that are clinging on after all this time!) I've heard that some people will see results quickly, and for others it can take 10 - 12 weeks. Guess I'm in the latter group (sigh)
I also started taking Hair, Skin & Nails supplements along with MSM, and also using Ardell on my lashes. |

Would love to see your pics before and after, or if no before, then the after ones with and without mascara. Thank you in advance.
ETA: Were your lashes short, medium, or long before you started on the new JM? Did you measure your lashes before vs after? Thanks again. |

I never really had complaints about my lashes, but they weren't impressive, either. I would say medium.
I am dumb and didn't take before pictures.  Here is the best I could find so far. With mascara, eyes closed, before:
After:
A little deceptive, since the second photo is larger in size, but you can tell they're about 25% longer. In particular, the lashes towards the center are a lot longer than those on either corner in the after picture. I think I need to be more careful to apply in the corners too! Else all the long eyelashes will be just in the middle. It hasn't been 3 weeks yet (day after tomorrow).
I don't have a good camera right now, but I will try to take more after pics when I get one. |

| I've been on the new jan marini for one month now...I I've seen absoutely no improvement.....I am so disappointed....I see better results with castor oil than the new formula for jan marini..I wish I bought the revitalash instead....can we return the jan marini if we aren't satisfied??? I would buy the revitalash now if I had the money but I put all my extra money in getting the jan marini....I hope I could return the jan marini...I would definitely get the revitalash instead. |

| I am sure hoping that the new jan marini works. I finally bit the bullet and spent $130 on it only to read all these reports that it doesn't work like the old one! I guess I will just have to wait and see.... |

| my sister has been using the new formula for a month and says she sees a big improvement in her lower lashes. There are more positive reports on makeupalley too so I am inclined to think that the new formula does work,just stick with it and make sure not to skip a night in the beginning. |

| Thank you. I will give it a try and then post my results as well. I read somewhere else on this forum that the new one will take 3 months to really show the dramatic results (instead of 3 weeks like the old formula). I wonder if there is any truth to that? |

| I have been using the new JM for about 3 weeks and I am definitely seeing results. My stubby, sparse lashes are almost wow now (at least for me). |

Is there any new reports on the NEW Jm??? 
I began using it 4 days ago. At first my eyes were sooooooooo irritated, but I am sure that was because I applied too much product and it leaked into my eye. Now I am applying just enough to coat the lashes and the irritation is almost gone. 
I have gotten a little scared that I have wasted my money on this product because I cannot find very many reveiws on the new formulation.
So if you are out there and do use the new JM, please, please pop in here and give us a little update

I'm using the new JM and although I'm finally seeing results, it took 3 months! I had read on this forum to give it a full 3 months and sure enough, at 3 months, I was quite happy with the results. I don't believe they are any thicker, but they are definitely longer. I don't curl them anymore because my husband said they are out of control and look fake when curled with mascara. I'm Asian and normally have short, stubby lashes so I'm lovin' this. Now I use the JM every other night. I just started adding Ardell to my routine, so I'm hoping to see more thickness. Hope this lasts!  |
