our friend prostaglandins

you all know that i am totally obsessed with eyelashes, so i wanted to share the latest news (at least to me). you know that jan marini age intervention eyelash serum i've been using? it's pretty well-known that it contains low-dose prostaglandins similar (or the same) as what is in anti-glaucoma meds. apparently b/c jan marini has gotten in so much trouble with the FDA, they have completely changed their product. it is now something like jan marini skin research 'marini lash.' it does NOT have the prostaglandins, so i really doubt it is going to be effective. so if anyone wants to buy it at this point, it is going to have to be through places that still have old stock. i always get it from ebay b/c it is WAY cheaper than the retail $160.

there are also now other products that supposedly have prostaglandins. the biggest/most well-known product is 'revitalash.' i haven't tried it personally but will probably buy it when i run out of my current jan marini stuff. i will obviously update everyone when i try it out. =) i got all of this info from my favorite website--cosmeticcop.com or maybe it is paulabegoun.com. whatever. she also suggests other products with prostaglandins: Peter Thomas Roth Lashes to Die For, MD Lash Factor, and Lilash. anyway, just thought i would pass on the info. =)
