Are you considering Careprost to naturally grow your lashes? Don’t be put off by the myths surrounding this effective and popular eyelash growth solution. This guide will help you understand the facts to decide whether this eyelash growth serum is right for you.
The cosmetic industry was boosted when the Careprost bimatoprost eye drops showed a surprising side effect. Many users reported longer, fuller eyelashes. Manufacturers took the active ingredient of the medicine, a prostaglandin analogue (Bimatoprost), and it was approved for eyelash growth. Bimatoprost is also a generic version of Careprost. You use an applicator to draw the solution along your upper lash line. This way, only a small amount of the product comes into contact with your eye, reducing the risk of adverse reactions. Some people still experience side effects, including red eye, itchy or dry eyes, darkening of the eyelid, eyelid swelling, brown pigmentation in the iris, and an allergic reaction.
- Myth: Using Careprost can harm your eyes.
Originally, Careprost Bimatoprost ophthalmic solution was designed for people with eye diseases, such as glaucoma, which increases pressure within the eye. The active component Bimatoprost reduces this pressure and treats glaucoma; therefore, it doesn’t harm the eyes if it accidentally gets into the eye. Clinical trials conducted by various research groups have shown that regular use of this product can increase the length and volume, and darken them further than before.
- Myth: Your eyes will change colour.
You may have heard that Careprost will darken your eye colour. The truth is that the risk is incredibly low. The risk is primarily associated with the other users of the active ingredient Bimatoprost. The active ingredient present in the Careprost is Bimatoprost, which is used directly in the eye for glaucoma, where it can sometimes cause discolouration (brown colour) of the iris. You are applying far less of the eyelash growth product and focusing on the lash line, not the eye’s surface.
- Myth: Hair growth occurs on your face.
Hair growth appears on your skin where Careprost frequently comes into contact. This is one of the reasons some people prefer using the solution to encourage eyebrow growth. You can avoid the side effect by applying the product as directed. If unwanted growth occurs, don’t panic, as it should be very fine and almost unnoticeable, and it will likely disappear when you discontinue using the product.
- Myth: Extension is better.
Professional eye growth solutions are often touted as safer and more convenient alternatives to Careprost. However, they give temporary results and certainly come with their fair share of drawbacks worth considering. Professional services such as eyelash lifts and extensions can cause infection, irritation, and temporary eyelash loss. One also needs to book follow-up appointments every few weeks to maintain the desired length. In the long run, these options are more inconvenient and expensive.
Play it safe with Careprost.
If you are thinking about trying Careprost for eyelash growth:
- Check with your health care specialist if you are already receiving treatment for glaucoma. These ophthalmic preparations you are using may trigger Bimatoprost’s side effects.
- Avoid applying the product if you have eye conditions such as macular oedema, conjunctivitis, or uveitis.
- Do not use the applicator brush more than once. Also, do not let the tip of the bottle touch the eye or any other skin surface.
- Be sure to remove contact lenses before applying Careprost, and wait 15 minutes before putting them back in. Contacts can absorb the solution.
Conclusion
It is worth noting that people worldwide who have used Careprost to stimulate eyelash growth mostly provide positive reviews. This is because of the active component’s high efficiency, which becomes apparent after some weeks of standard use, as with its safety.
