Latisse: The accidental Beauty Breakthrough?

Like so many great inventions, Latisse came to be by accident. An unexpected, welcome side-effect experienced by patients using the glaucoma eye drops Lumigan.

Patients who were just trying to get some relief from this painful eye condition, were finding that their eyelashes were growing longer, thicker, and darker.  Not bad when it comes to side effects!

Allergan, the massive billion dollar beauty empire that makes both products, obviously jumped on this discovery, and took it to the FDA for approval as a cosmetic, now called Latisse.
