Careprost is a topical ophthalmic solution containing the active pharmaceutical ingredient Bimatoprost, specifically formulated to treat hypotrichosis of the eyelashes by promoting growth, increasing length, thickness, and darkness. It is a prescription medication that works by extending the anagen (growth) phase of the eyelash hair cycle and increasing the number of hairs in this productive phase. Clinically proven and dermatologist-recommended, Careprost offers a scientifically backed approach to achieving more prominent, aesthetically enhanced eyelashes for suitable candidates.

• Single formulation strength tailored for topical eyelash application

Benefits

• Significantly increases eyelash length, fullness, and pigmentation
• Clinically demonstrated results visible within weeks, with full effect typically observed after 12–16 weeks of consistent use

Common use

Careprost is primarily indicated for the treatment of inadequate or not enough eyelashes (hypotrichosis). It is used by individuals seeking to improve the prominence, length, and darkness of their natural eyelashes. It is not intended for use anywhere other than the upper eyelid margin and should be applied only with the sterile applicators provided. Off-label uses, such as for eyebrow enhancement, are not recommended without explicit medical consultation due to risks of unintended hair growth and skin pigmentation changes.

Dosage and direction

Apply one drop of Careprost to the disposable sterile applicator once daily in the evening. Carefully draw the applicator across the skin of the upper eyelid margin at the base of the eyelashes, from the inner to the outer part. Do not apply to the lower eyelid. Any excess solution outside the eyelid margin should be blotted away to prevent migration to other areas. Avoid contact with eyes—though some absorption is expected, direct instillation into the eye is not the intended use. Always ensure hands and face are clean and makeup removed before application. Discard each applicator after single use to prevent contamination.

Precautions

• Strictly for external use on the upper eyelid margin; avoid contact with eyes
• Remove contact lenses prior to application and reinsert after 15 minutes
• Not recommended for individuals with active eye infections, inflammation, or conjunctivitis
• May cause permanent darkening of eyelid skin or iris pigmentation—use with caution, especially in those with heterochromia or light-colored irises
• Potential for hair growth on skin areas that frequently come in contact with the solution
• Keep out of reach of children and avoid use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by a physician
• Discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider if ocular irritation, redness, or itching develops

Contraindications

Careprost is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to Bimatoprost or any component of the formulation. It should not be used by individuals with active or suspected ocular infections, corneal abrasions, or inflammatory conditions of the eye or eyelid. Patients using intraocular pressure-lowering prostaglandin analogues for glaucoma should avoid Careprost due to potential additive effects. It is not recommended for individuals under 18 years of age.

Possible side effects

Common side effects may include:

• Ocular redness, itching, or dryness
• Darkening of the eyelid skin
• Iris pigmentation changes (may be permanent)
• Eye irritation, sensation of foreign body
• Less commonly: conjunctival hyperemia, eyelid edema, or photophobia

Rare but serious side effects include:

• Macular edema, particularly in aphakic patients or those with torn posterior lens capsules
• Uveitis or cystoid macular edema
• Eyelid skin discoloration or periocular tissue atrophy

Drug interaction

No formal drug interaction studies have been conducted with topical Bimatoprost eyelash solution. However, caution is advised when using Careprost concomitantly with other ophthalmic preparations, particularly prostaglandin analogues used for glaucoma (e.g., Latanoprost, Travoprost), due to potential additive side effects such as iris pigmentation changes or intraocular pressure alterations. Consult a healthcare provider before combining with any eye drops or dermatological products applied near the eyes.

Missed dose

If a dose is missed, apply it as soon as remembered, unless it is nearly time for the next scheduled application. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Resume the regular dosing schedule the following evening. Consistency is important for optimal results, but occasional missed doses are unlikely to significantly impact long-term efficacy.

Overdose

Topical overdose is unlikely due to the formulation and method of application. However, accidental ingestion or excessive application may lead to systemic effects similar to those of ophthalmic Bimatoprost, including headache, dizziness, nausea, or conjunctival hyperemia. In case of accidental ingestion, seek medical attention promptly. If excessive topical application occurs, rinse the area thoroughly with water and monitor for signs of irritation or adverse effects.

Storage

Store Careprost at room temperature (15–30°C or 59–86°F) in an upright position. Protect from light and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use. Discard the solution four weeks after opening the bottle to prevent contamination or loss of sterility. Do not use if the solution appears discolored or contains particles.

Reviews

Clinical studies and user testimonials frequently report noticeable improvements in eyelash length, thickness, and darkness after 4–8 weeks of consistent use. Many users appreciate the convenience and non-invasive nature of the treatment. However, individual results may vary, and some users report mild side effects such as eyelid redness or skin darkening. Dermatologists and ophthalmologists often recommend Careprost for suitable candidates seeking evidence-based eyelash enhancement, emphasizing the importance of adherence to application guidelines and regular follow-up.
