RapidLash Eyelash & Eyebrow Enhancing Serum: Look at the label

Just because a product is a best beauty seller on Amazon.com doesn’t necessarily really mean that it does what it says. Case in point, look at the active ingredient in Revitalash.
The active ingredient is Isopropyl Cloprostenate (a cousin of Bimatoprost, the drug which has been approved by the FDA to enhance eyelash growth.) But just because it’s a related compound doesn’t mean it functions the same way. Our good friend Paula Begoun the Cosmetic Cop points out that the isopropyl version is actually considered to be a hair-conditioning cosmetic ingredient. That means it hasn’t been proven to work the say way as the drug version. And even if it does happen to really work, wouldn’t it have the same side effects (darkening of the iris.) Our recommendation is to skip cosmetic products such as this and stick with prescription drugs that have been proven to work and which you can discuss with your doctor.
