Rogaine on Eyelashes?
(female) Can I use Rogaine on my eyelashes? I know it has not been tested on eyelashes, but do the ingredients seem harmful, or simply not yet approved for that purpose? Also, what about using Rogaine on my eyebrows?
Rogaine (minoxidil) is an irritant and if you use it around the eye and accidentally get it into the eye, you could be in for problems. I would think that the use of minoxidil in any form would not be a good thing to do for eyelashes. The new eyelash growth medication is Latisse (bimatoprost).
I know some patients have tried minoxidil on their eyebrows with mixed results. Just note that minoxidil isn’t recommended for anywhere other than the scalp, so be cautious if you do use it on the eyebrows.
i somehow have long thick eyelashes as a side effect of putting minoxidil on my scalp (well i assume it’s minoxidil that causes it)
as a matter of fact it seems to grow me a monobrow and thick eyelashes better than scalp hair
anyhow that’s just my response
