REVITALASH

[MRJ1972]

Has anyone ever used or heard of Revitalash?

I saw an advertisement that promises longer, thicker, lashes? :look: Just checking to see if anyone has gotten good results using this product??

...bumping for answers... there seems to be a couple products out now that claim to make your lashes longer and fuller, they're all a bit expensive. I noticed on the website that they have a mascara, that might be worth checking out.

I think some ladies here use SAA to lengthen and thicken lashes...I've never tried it myself, but it's a lot cheaper!

Unless I am confusing it with another product, I think it was called back or sth. Hold on...BRB.

ETA: Maybe the new version is safer but I also heard it wasn't as good as the first. This talks about what I had heard about it being off the market:

Effects
While there are many testimonials in favor of Revitalash from women from all walks of life, including celebrities, complaints are also not unusual. On the official Revitalash website, consumers are warned that there have been reports of mild irritation on the skin at the base of the lashes, as well as discoloration on this area. The solution given is to either lessen the use of the product or to discontinue it and consult a physician. Some users claim that their formerly blue, green or hazel eyes have darkened to brown with the use of Revitalash, or that their lashes turned brittle and sparse once they stopped using the lash conditioner. If you are still curious about the product, at least apply it sparingly, and not if you are pregnant or breast-feeding, as it has not been tested for use within these conditions.

Warning
An early version of a product similar to Revitalash, Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner, was pulled from shelves by the FDA in 2007 due to the presence of a form of glaucoma medicine called "bimatoprost." Although this same ingredient is responsible for the growth and improved condition of eyelashes, it can also cause eye discomfort, a burning sensation, blurred vision and swelling of the retina. Those afflicted with glaucoma who use a medication containing bimatoprost and are subjected to an additional dosage through the use of an eyelash enhancer with bimatoprost will find a decrease in the effectiveness of the medication. Following the FDA recall of the Jan Marini product, Athena Cosmetics voluntarily took Revitalash temporarily off the market, as it likewise contained bimatoprost. Even though both Revitalash and Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner have removed bimatoprost from their list of ingredients and are once again available for purchase, this situation illustrates how you could seriously be putting your health at risk if you don't thoroughly educate yourself on the ingredients of any cosmetic item prior to use. http://www.ehow.com/about_4679060_revitalash-side-effects.html
