Just a quick update: I've been faithfully using Careprost each night for 3 weeks now. I know that typically they say you will results within 4-6 weeks, but I thought that since I had already been using RapidLash for over a year before that with some success before starting Careprost that maybe I'd see a little added length by now.

Unfortunately, there is no change as of yet, but I'm not giving up hope. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for those doe lashes to appear in another few weeks.

I'm trying to remember how long it took me to notice... I feel like it was closer to 2 months.

Darkmoon, at least you are blessed with naturally having long lashes. Here is what my lashes looked like right before starting Rapidlash and then Careprost:

Talk about nonexistent! Shock

Even with mascara on back then, you could barely see my lashes. Now, with mascara on, I look like I'm wearing false lashes. I love it!

I used RapidLash for over a year before starting Careprost. I've never had any problems with it making my lashes grow in different directions, but I have heard of that happening to others.

Regarding Careprost/Rapidlash being used in a scalp solution, I don't think a few drops added to the scalp solution would make a big enough difference to make the hair grow any faster. I take 2 5000 mcg of Biotion (one in the morning, one in the eveining). It's made my thinning hair stop falling out and now I have new hair sprouts growing in. Yay! It takes about 2-3 months to see results. Some people get results with only 5000 mcg a day, some with only 1000 mcg. So, I'd start with the lowwest dosage and go from there.

Try Viviscal for hair growth....it is the only thing that has ever really worked for me.

That's great to hear, Glamcat. When did you start to notice them getting thicker and darker? I'm only noticing length right now.

My length and thickness kind of went hand-in-hand - but as I'd gone from wearing eyelash extensions that had pretty much destroyed my natural lashes lol Laughing

my natural lashes were so short and stumpy it was quite horrifying! It took a good 3-4 months to 'rehabilitate' my lashes and for them to start growing. But once the effects kicked in I knew this was something I would never ever be without ever again! Wink

Since the biotin is way cheaper and is working okay for me, I'll stick to that for now. I may look into the Viviscal if the biotin stops working.

Biotin is definitely cheaper. Unfortunately it didn't work for me, and with 50% hairloss I was pretty desperate at that point!

Thank you for the advice sandooch and bethany. I have been taking Biotin for a while and just bought Viviscal last week. Will let you know how it goes.
