HOW TO USE: Once nightly, start by ensuring your face is clean, makeup and contact
lenses are removed. Remove an applicator from its tray. Then, holding
the sterile applicator horizontally, place one drop of LATISSE®
on the area of the applicator closest to the tip but not on the tip .Then immediately draw the applicator carefully across
the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes (where
the eyelashes meet the skin) going from the inner part of your lash line
to the outer part . Blot any excess solution beyond
the eyelid margin. Dispose of the applicator after one use.
Repeat for the opposite upper eyelid margin using a new sterile
applicator.This helps minimize any potential for contamination from
one eyelid to another.
