Are you wondering which of these two, Li Lash vs Latisse, can give you the  long, thick and to-die-for lashes you wanted since they started falling off like crazy?

You’re welcome to say thanks to most cosmetics and pharmaceutical  industries for coming up with great eyelash growth products.  But if you’re a cautious cosmetic user like me, you would try to analyze and narrow down significant points of each eyelash growth serum first, in this case Li Lash vs Latisse, before making a decision.  After all, the eyes are one of the most sensitive parts of your body and you don’t really want to end up with red, puffy ones after applying a lash enhancer that you thought  would just give you the lashes you desire.

This article is dedicated to compare two of the most popular eyelash growth serums, Li Lash vs Latisse, to help you decide which of them is more suitable for you.

Cost of LiLash vs Latisse

I had to take the “costs” of these eyelash enhancers into account first because it’s the most important factor.  You have to know how much you may spend for the product to set your wallet’s expectation.  Li Lash costs around $80 to $100.  You may want to inquire about the  product’s promotion or discount  through ebay and amazon.  Latisse, on one hand, costs $120.  You won’t find it sold in ebay or amazon.com because it needs prescription and is exclusively distributed by Allergan, the company that manufactures it.  You may visit its official site for more information.

In this factor, Li Lash vs Latisse's cost, I'd say Li Lash wins 10 points for being a few dollars cheaper than Latisse.

Components and Effectiveness of Li Lash vs Latisse

There are three key ingredients in Li Lash Eyelash Conditioner that are combined with other polypeptides, vitamins and minerals.  One is the Lupinos Albus Seed Extract for hair growth, Prunus Amygdalus for lash strengthening and Panthenol for conditioning.  Makers of Li Lash say that improvement on your eyelashes may be noticed after 4 to 6 weeks of regular usage.  It’s also less irritating because of its natural ingredients.  It’s actually considered to be hypoallergenic.  Users who have tried this have shared that they don’t just see changes on the thickness and length of their lashes but also on texture.  The lashes appear to be softer and are not flaky at all.

Latisse’s active  ingredient however, is bimatoprost.  Allergan said that this promotes length and thickness.  This eyelash growth enhancer is approved by FDA (Food and Drug Administration), thus the need for prescription when buying it.  Effectivity period of the product has been estimated to be between 4 and 16 weeks.

There is a Li Lash review here and also a Latisse article here for more comprehensive information.

In this round of Li Lash vs Latisse battle, I'm calling it a draw.  Ten equal points are given for Li Lash's major natural ingredients and Latisse's FDA approval.

Raves and Criticism of Li Lash vs Latisse

There are users who attest that Li Lash has made their lashes thicker, darker and longer within 1 month of using.  They recommend applying the product during the night, although it’s alright to use it during the day too.  Some don’t see apparent changes in 4 weeks but continued using it anyway. Eventually, they see positive changes and are happy with the results.  But there are also some users who are not that satisfied with the results saying that it’s taking longer than the supposed 4 to 6 weeks effectivity period for their lashes to grow longer and thicker.  Some have even tried their third tube without any changes at all.  Also, there are users who think that it’s too costly and have given side effects like eye redness and darkening around the eye area causing them to stop using the product.

Latisse raves lie in the fact that it’s FDA approved and has an extensive information seen on its official website.  You can actually see legitimate writings and indications about the product.  It’s also advised to use the product once a day during the night or depending on your doctor’s instruction.  There are a few users who think that it’s way too strong for their eyelashes and some have also reported irritations like the ones reported by Li Lash users and uneven lash growth.  But another side effect that seem to bother other users is that after a while, their lashes start to fall off at which one user even suggested the decrease of the frequency of Latisse application after 16 weeks, say 3 times per week instead of the recommended 7 times.

In this particular round of the Li Lash vs Latisse comparison, I'm giving Li Lash 10 points for more users' positive review.  The information I got were mostly from testimonials.  I'm giving Latisse 5 points because of Allergan's transparency in informing the people about the possible side effects of the products.

Li Lash or Latisse?

I’ve searched the whole internet for Li Lash and Latisse reviews just so I can give this verdict.  So far, I’ve read more positive reviews on Li Lash than Latisse.   The points being:  most ingredients are natural and less potent, high number of users have confirmed that it’s working within 4 to 6 weeks, minimum lash fall-offs reported after more than 6 weeks of usage and the cost is reasonable given the high positive results.

If you still want a professional’s advise, I suggest you check with your doctor quick before using any of these two eyelash growth enhancers.  I still wish you get the long, thick, to-die-for lashes that you really desire but right now, this is me doing my internet research on Li Lash vs Latisse.
