Jan Marini, Developer of Marini Lash™, Comments
on New Latisse™ Eyelash Product by Allergan, Inc.
Marini Cites Marini Lash as Safe and Affordable Non-prescription Alternative to Latisse

Jan Marini, president & CEO of Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. (JMSR; www.JanMarini.com), which revolutionized the multi-million dollar cosmetic eyelash enhancement category in 2005, today stated that Marini Lash Eyelash Conditioner is a safe and cost effective alternative to the new prescription-based Latisse product by Allergan, Inc. for consumers seeking dense, lush-looking lashes.

"With Marini Lash, anyone can have thicker and lusher-appearing lashes without the substantial cost or warning labels that accompany the Latisse prescription product,” said Marini. "Neither Marini Lash nor its companion product, Marini Mascara™ Performance Mascara, contain the glaucoma drug in Latisse that was developed by Allergan to treat a serious ocular condition.”

Both Marini Lash and Marini Mascara offer dramatic eyelash enhancement benefits.

"I am immensely proud of Marini Lash and Marini Mascara, which are based on a proprietary peptide blend formula,” said Marini. "I believe that they provide the best benefits for lash enhancement of any product on the market. Marini Lash is also fantastic for eyebrows.”

Marini Lash, named the preferred lash enhancer by InStyle magazine (November 2008), and Marini Mascara are available through skin care professionals and physicians worldwide.
