About
A prostaglandin analog designed for lash/hair growth — modified from latanoprost with reduced but not eliminated drug-like side effect potential.
Dihydroxypropyl Dehydrolatanoprostamide is a synthetic prostaglandin analog structurally related to latanoprost, modified with a dihydroxypropyl amide group and dehydrogenation. CosIng-listed for hair conditioning. Prostaglandin analogs stimulate hair growth via FP receptor activation. While cosmetic modifications aim to reduce systemic side effects, the drug-like mechanism means periorbital concerns (iris darkening, fat atrophy) remain possible with eye-area products.
