I can assure you I'm not being paid to dismiss the product out of hand. Feel free to go back and read the rest of the comments before you make such judgments. All I've done is to say the following. 1. There is scant real evidence that it works. Lots of anecdotes (your own included) but minimal scientific studies. 2. If the product does work as claimed, it is a DRUG. It would be ILLEGAL to sell as a cosmetic. It would be sold only by prescription by doctors. Nothing you've said disputes these two facts. Feel free to check the rest of the blog for articles about JM. Particularly the one where JM admits the product "...is not intended to stop, prevent, cure, relieve, reverse or reduce eyelash loss or to promote the growth of eyelashes" "Not intended to promote the growth of eyelashes." These are the company's words, not mine. Thanks for you comments Brandi. I can assure you I’m not being paid to dismiss the product out of hand.

One of the thing people need to realize is that it requires constant application. It does not permanently change the lash growth. Lastly, as my expertise is on not only efficacy but cost-effectiveness, if someone is spending $30 or more on a mascara (say a dept. store brand) that is used every day and need to be tossed for hygiene reasons once every three months, then the cost per use on JM products may actually be much less as a tube lasts when used correctly at least six months.
