Hi, Thanks to all of you on this link I just ordered my first shipment of Lumigan from ADC. I should get in a couple of weeks. I am so excited! I have had lash loss since my early teens which has left me virtuously lashless. I would like to hear more of your experiences with Lumigan and exactly how you use it to get the best results. Thanks and I will let you know how it works for me! I have heard that they are looking into make this a product for hair loss also, which would be great. Very Happy

You can purchase Latisse now, which is the same as Lumigan. Go to latisse.com and search "find a doctor". You don't need an appt. You just go in and buy it. If there is not someone in your area that sells it, then call another place and have them send it to you.

If the Latisse is $100, I'll be sticking with the $12 Lumigan Neutral

From the articles I've been reading, it's apparently $120 per month! Shock

I'm on ADC, and got to the part on the order form where you're supposed to fill in doctor's information...if you don't need a prescription, what do you do? What did you guys enter here?

I hate to say it, but I honestly can't remember. Do you have the option of just skipping it and going to the next page?

I don't think so. Thank you for replying!

If you buy from ADC make sure to buy several bottles because shipping is 24,twice the cost of shipping.

Can anyone tell me how they completed the doctor's area of the order form? I've decided to order, but won't until I know

allysonb,

I just went to ADC, added something to my cart and am going through the checkout process to try to remember what I did last time.

You do NOT have to fill out Dr info, if you look, it is already filled in automatically with the name of the doctor associated with their website.

As I suggested before - just scroll to the bottom of the page and hit "continue". There is nothing else you need to do.

I just left it blank and submitted the order.. It went through and no questions were asked.

Just an FYI regarding Lumigan.. I've been using it since last July.. Nightly caused spindly too long lashes, with increased shedding.. Every other night for the past 4 months has shown maintenance of a lovely length, maintained thickness, and only the same normal shedding you would have without a lash enhancing product. I use Ardell Lash Conditioner most days, and it holds a curl all day..

Thanks for the input, Kassy! I was wondering exactly how much I could use it without having trouble. I've been using it 2 to 3 nights a week, but I might bump it up to every other night and see if I can boost the results. I just recently hit the one month mark so I guess I still have some time before seeing full results anyway.

I think it was about 6 or 7 weeks before the growth kicked in, but then it was very fast after that..

Then the lashes were just growing and shedding at an alarming rate, and I cut back to every other day with good results.. I skip an extra day here and there, when I see a growth spurt.

If you PM me an email address I'll send you a picture.

You guys are killing me with PM's so here are my before and after pics.. Laughing

(I don't use mascara, but use Ardell Lash Conditioner most days, which keeps my lashes healthy and moist!)

ETA: My bloody crows feet have come a long way in the last 10 months... Yippeeeee!

Kassy_A, you've got gorgeous eyes! I don't see any crows feet, either. Do you put Lumigan on your bottom lashes as well?

Thanks blaze!

I very seldom give a swipe to the bottom lashes, or they will get out of hand. The tops aren't as responsive for some reason.

Kassy, impressive results!
And Blazy is right-- you have very pretty eyes!

Fri Feb 13, 2009 2:51 pm

Wow, you have more eyelashes on the lower lid of one of your eyes than I have entirely! I just got my Lumigan a couple of days ago and have been using it with no problems. I ordered from ADC and received it 4 days later! I hope to have beautiful eyes like yours soon!

Broke down and finally bought Lumigan at ADC today. Meds from India is still scaring me, but there are so many great reviews here.

So what's the best lash conditioner to go with Lumigan? I've heard Ardell. Will plain jojoba oil work too? Any other recommendations?

Hi Blaze,

Ardell is fine because it's inexpensive and seems to work nicely, but jojoba oil would probably be even better! I've been rotating various oils and just lately threw the Ardell back into the mix because Kassy mentioned it, and it reminded me that I already had some.

For being so inexpensive I was surprised at how much it made a difference. I guess my poor lashes were starved for attention Laughing

I just got my lumigan, and started using it today. I hear some do it every other day, not sure what i should do? Start off every day for a bit then go to every other day? everyone seems to like lumigan a lot. I used Revitlash the original formula for three years and got lovely lashes, hope it works the same or better.

I'd suggest starting off every night, and once your lashes start to show good growth, go to every other night..

In my experience, continuing every night after the growth started, resulted in too long spindly lashes, that shed at an alarming rate.

Every other night is keeping mine at a nice length and denseness, with just a normal amount of shedding.. (I'm not into lashes that look fake or spindly!)
