Hey, I certainly will! Have you been using the RL or have you yet to purchase? |
No, I have been using the NOTH serum regularly now for 4 weeks and I am not noticing anything yet (this is my 2nd try with it, as I learned about using Johnsons baby shampoo or something similar to wash the lashes with before applying the serum. I didn't have any luck the first time with it unfortunately, and I am not sure I will this time either). |

Revitalash works super well for me. I noticed a difference in a week. My lashes were longer. I found I needed to apply this only to my lash line. I let the brush slip a few time and noticed that I was getting fine hairs on my actual eye lid. |

I've been using the NOTH serum for about six weeks - and whilst I did think that I saw some length in my lower lashes, the overall result has been underwhelming. The serum did sting slightly if I got it in my eye, however, the biggest thing I noticed was that my dry eye syndrome improved allot. In fact, I stopped using my eyedrops.
But because of all the hype about the Careprost product, I decided to give that a try. I used it for the first time last night. It didn't irritate my eyes at all, in fact, it felt like water, no stinging or anything. But when I woke up this morning my eyes were very bloodshot and the skin surrounding my eyes was also red. I applied the serum again this morning and my eyes have just got redder. In fact, I look bloody awful. Has this happened to anyone else? I'm usually a person that nothing ever happens to, either good or bad, so for me to notice something - it's pretty drastic. I don't think I should use this again - help! |

I'm thinking it could be an allergy. After I had my upper and lower bleph the doctor gave me this cream to apply and I had a shocking allergic reaction to it - the Careprost reaction was very similar. My eyes are a bit better this morning. |

I'm glad to hear they are doing better. What you say about an allergy makes a lot of sense, side effects would probably take longer to effect you! |

I know you should only use it once in a 24 hour period. I use a very slim brush (eyeliner size) and do one sweep. I also do not do it everyday. I don't recall ever knowingly getting it into my eyes. I"ve never had any reaction but I'm not generally sensitive to anything.
It sounds like the NOTH is a good choice for dry eyes - I keep reading that.
I'm sorry the Careprost isn't working. Hopefully others will give you their take. You might pm Antonia - she uses it and maybe she can tell you how it works for her. |

I did apply it twice within 24 hours - but I had the reaction after only the first application. What surprised me was how bloodshot my eyes were - and I really didn't think that I'd got allot of it in my eyes. But the skin all around my eyes was also very red. |

Just my silly opinion but I would at least patch test on the inside of my elbow and see if my skin reacted before risking it anywhere near my eyes again. |

Keliu, I had the same reaction you have had,bloodshot eyes,red around the rim of the eye.After a week went to the Dr. and he said it was an allergic reaction to the lash serum I was using,he gave me drops to put in them twice a day for 2 weeks.OBW I have tried just about every lash serum and had the same reaction. Dr said as we get older our eyes are more sensitive to things because our eyes are not as strong as they once were,I did'nt like hearing that.You and I are close in age so it makes since. |

Yes, I'm positive it was an allergic reaction now because, as I said, I had the same thing happen with the eye cream after the bleph. My eyes looked and felt exactly the same each time. Oh well, everything happens to you in old age - but I can definitely live without the long lashes if I have too. |

Welcome erinbear and good luck with it. Many members use it and purchase at ADC or other overseas pharmacies. |

i think i might order the NOTH serum in case i have adverse reactions or i'm not fully satisfied with careprost. i'm new to this so i'm not really 100% sold on anything. oh, the pressures of being a newbie! |

It is so easy to get caught up in all the things that are raved about on this forum! The NOTH serum has worked beautifully for me and some others, but there are those who have had no results at all with it also! Who knows why? |

Thanks DM! I knew you would know something about it! |

Yes, I'd be a bit inclined to be skeptical over this one. The Athena 7 Day Lift product is the biggest scam ever and is a shocking product. |
