Age Intervention Eyelash recalled

[Jenner8675309]

I don't use this, but thought it might be good to post it:

A product that claims to extend the length of your eyelashes, called Age Intervention Eyelash, was recalled this week. The FDA fears that it may cause vision problems in consumers, because it contains a drug that causes increased pressure in the eye. In studies, this drug has been show to increase hair growth (hence its use in a eyelash-growing product). The FDA says that some consumers have experienced decreased vision, and that those who already have elevated pressure in the eye could be especially at risk.

If you own the product, the FDA recommends that you throw it out and contact your doctor if you've had any related health issues.

You know when this first came out I REALLY wanted to try it. I saw a lot of before and afters and I couldn't believe it. It was $160 but if it worked I would have paid it. It was sold out for so long and I totally forgot about it until now. It's kind of scary how little we know about things we use everyday!

eeekk... i've been using this stuff for about 6 months now. the first month i used it every day. then after that i used it maybe twice a week. it really works. i only curl my lashes and no mascara needed. i'm so mad to hear this. i haven't noticed any visual changes, but this is really scary. thanks, jenn, for posting.

^ If you haven't had any problems yet, I doubt you will, so no worries. But I would def stop using it. Sorry

I'm glad I never tried it, eyes are not something to mess around with.

I hate to say this but, if something seem too good to be true - it probably is.
