A clinical trial of LATISSE® was conducted on patients who applied the product to the base of their upper lashes only. Do not apply in your eye or to the lower lid.

It is important to apply LATISSE® only to the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes using the accompanying sterile applicators, and to carefully blot any excess LATISSE® from the eyelid margin to avoid it running onto the cheek or other skin areas.
