As a cosmetic doctor, I routinely advise patients on growing their hair – including that of the lashes thicker and stronger.

My go to products are the proven medical grade formulae such as Latisse by Allergan (the recognized category leader) and other Bimatoprost and Isopropyl Cloprostenate based brands available on prescription as they offer consistent and visible thickening and lengthening of the eyelashes in a few weeks with regular use. Some patients may be allergic to one or more ingredients or prefer a low cost home remedy – in such cases I recommend castor oil be coated on the lashes twice a day like a mascara. The nourishment of the lashes by the fatty acids in oil hydrates deeply and aids better growth.
