I think this just shows the great need to address the underlying issue: our society’s obsession with a very narrow standard of beauty for women. Why can’t we just do away with mascara and such products all together? If no one wore make-up we’d all learn to find beauty in the natural face. I know this sounds extreme but it’s insidious how marketing products exactly like this rely on making us feel bad about ourselves first.

I must add: You have to get Retin-A prescribed by a Doctor.

My cousin has been using Retin-A for about 11 years now, she is 6 years older than i, and she looks great! Retin-A is very strong, but it works very well, it even got rid of her freckles.

I read about this a few weeks ago when it came out. Crazy if you ask me. http://sec.online.wsj.com/article/SB122833625879476661.html

As to the clinical trial comments, 4 of the 137 people *dropped out* of the trial because of their side effects.

Also, avoidance of more serious or common side effects (like those seem with Lumigan) is dependent upon the application quality (keeping Latisse entirely out of the eye). Finally, the FDA panel strongly encouraged the company to pursue further testing for long-term safety and use in younger adults and those undergoing chemotherapy. Doesn’t sound to me like it’s been proven safe.

I’ll keep my mascara, thank you very much.

Injecting plastic into your face just doesn’t sound very appealing, I’ll take the wrinkles!

All the Best,
