Stephanie Gebara from The Polished PA
According to Stephanie Gebara from The Polished PA, she initially planned to promote Rodan + Fields Lash Boost over Latisse, highlighting its convenience and affordability. However, her deeper research led her to stop using Lash Boost due to concerns about one of its ingredients.
Key Findings:
- Lash Boost contains isopropyl cloprostenate, a synthetic prostaglandin analogue—chemically similar to the active ingredient in Latisse (bimatoprost).
- Prostaglandin analogues are known to cause side effects like:
- Darkening of the skin around the eyes
- Potential changes in iris pigmentation (though R+F denies this for Lash Boost)
- Stephanie noticed increased dark circles under her eyes while using Lash Boost and stopped using it. After discontinuation, she saw improvement.
- Lash Boost is not FDA-regulated as a drug, so side effects may not be as thoroughly disclosed as with Latisse.
- She resumed Lash Boost with modified application:
- Thin layer on the upper eyelid only
- Blotting off excess
- Waiting at least 20 minutes before sleeping
- With careful use, her lashes remained long without worsening under-eye darkness.
- She emphasizes transparency and encourages users and consultants to be aware of potential side effects.
Stephanie Gebara, a Rodan + Fields consultant and dermatology office employee, stopped using Lash Boost after discovering it contains a synthetic prostaglandin analogue (isopropyl cloprostenate), similar to Latisse’s bimatoprost. Concerned about under-eye darkening, a known side effect of such ingredients, she discontinued use and noticed improvement. While she later resumed use with more cautious application, she now advises awareness of these potential side effects despite the product’s effectiveness.

Camille Levi from BAmakeupcompany
According to Camille Levi from bamakeupcompany, she turned to Rodan + Fields Lash Boost after experiencing lash damage from prolonged use of extensions. Her goal was to restore her natural lashes, which had become extremely thin and short.
Key Points:
Background:
Camille wore eyelash extensions for over 18 months. After removing them, her natural lashes were left weak, sparse, and shorter than before.
Product Experience:
She began using Rodan + Fields Lash Boost nightly, applying it to her upper lash line after cleansing her face.
The product is a clear gel with a cooling effect, dries quickly, and comes in attractive packaging.
Results (After 7–8 Weeks):
- Noticeable improvement in lash length and fullness
- Thicker, healthier-looking lashes with consistent use
- Minimal residue in the morning, easily removed
- Still had plenty of product left after 8 weeks
Cost & Value:
At $150 per tube, she notes it’s a higher upfront cost, but cost-effective compared to regular lash fills ($35–$45/month).
Recommendation:
Camille recommends Lash Boost for those looking to rebuild or enhance their natural lashes and considers it a worthwhile investment over extensions or falsies.
