Safety
If LashesMD® Gets Into Your Eye
Because LashesMD® is used around the eyes, we have taken care to formulate our product with ingredients that
have excellent safety profiles. In addition, our tests have shown that, when used as directed, LashesMD® does not
get into the eyes and, therefore, should not have a physiological effect on your eyes.
If a small quantity of LashesMD® accidentally gets into your eye, it will usually be washed away by your tear film;
however, if you are concerned or experience any irritation, we recommend that you lightly splash a little tap water
in the eye in order to dilute and rinse away the LashesMD.
As a helpful reminder, we recommend that you be careful not to over-saturate the LashesMD® application brush.
Remember that you only need to apply a small quantity of LashesMD® (the amount on the brush is sufficient for
both upper and lower lids on both eyes) at bedtime.
Possible Allergic Reaction
First, please be sure you are using LashesMD® as directed on the package. Remember, only a small quantity of
LashesMD® is needed per application.
LashesMD® has been shown to be safe to the skin in tests conducted by an independent research laboratory.
However, as with any topical product, some individuals may be allergic to one or more components of the product.
If you know that you are allergic to any of the ingredients in LashesMD, or if you suspect that you may be allergic to
any of the ingredients, do not use LashesMD. If you suspect that you may have had or are having an allergic
reaction, stop using the product and consult a physician immediately.
If you experience such irritation, either reduce or discontinue the use of LashesMD® until the irritation goes away.
If the irritation persists, discontinue use completely and consult your physician.
