Careprost is a popular medication primarily used to treat hypotrichosis, a condition characterized by inadequate or insufficient eyelash growth. The active ingredient in Careprost is bimatoprost, which belongs to a class of drugs called prostaglandin analogs. Originally developed to treat glaucoma, bimatoprost was found to have the side effect of stimulating eyelash growth, leading to its use in cosmetic applications.
When applied topically to the base of the eyelashes, Careprost works by prolonging the growth phase of the eyelash hair cycle, resulting in longer, thicker, and darker lashes over time. Many individuals use Careprost to enhance the appearance of their lashes, achieving a fuller and more dramatic look without the need for mascara or false eyelashes.
