Is itchy skin a normal side effect of Latisse?
I've been using latisse for three days, and the skin around my eyes gets very itchy after I apply it. Is this normal, or could I be having an allergic reaction?

Yes, Latisse can do that as well as other products. If it continues, then you might not be able to use it for the itchiness will intensify.

My first suggestion for you if you are truly concerned, would be to visit the doctor's office where you purchased your Latisse. With that being said however, the majority of Latisse users will often find that there is mild irritation within the first 7-10 days of use. Most symptoms are redness, flaking, itching, watery eyes etc. Make sure you are only applying one drop to each eye and if needed you may chose to alternated days for the first week to allow your skin to adjust better. If it is still a concern, I go back to my original statement and would suggest that you contact your doctors office.

I heard that Latisse can turn your eyes brown. Is this true? How common is this side effect, and would you still recommend Latisse for someone with blue eyes (who wants to keep them blue!)?
