Bimat Bimatoprost Ophthalmic Solution is a professional-strength eyelash growth serum designed to help you achieve naturally longer, thicker, and darker eyelashes. Containing Bimatoprost 0.03%, the same active ingredient found in Latisse and Careprost, Bimat offers a formulation that delivers effective lash growth with fewer side effects — particularly less eye redness and irritation compared to other bimatoprost products on the market.
This makes Bimat the ideal choice for those who have experienced sensitivity with Careprost or Latisse, or for first-time users who want to start with a well-tolerated lash growth solution. Pair it with our Eflora Cream if you also want to slow unwanted facial hair. With consistent daily application, many people notice a gradual improvement in the look of lash length, thickness, and darkness over several weeks. Individual results vary.
Every eyelash goes through a natural growth cycle consisting of three phases: the active growth phase, the transition phase, and the resting phase. After the resting phase, the lash falls out and a new one begins growing in its place.
Bimatoprost works by extending the active growth phase of this cycle. By keeping lashes in their growing phase for a longer period, they have more time to grow before falling out — resulting in lashes that are measurably longer than they would be naturally. Bimatoprost also stimulates an increase in the number of lash hairs that grow during each cycle and enhances the deposit of melanin (the natural pigment) into the lash, making them appear darker and more defined.
| Longer Eyelashes | Extends the natural growth phase so lashes grow longer before shedding. Formulated to help support the appearance of longer, fuller-looking lashes. |
| Thicker & Fuller | Stimulates more lash hairs to grow during each cycle, creating a visibly fuller lash line. |
| Darker Lashes | Enhances natural pigment in each lash, making them appear darker and more defined without mascara. |
| Gentle Formula | Known for causing less eye redness and irritation compared to other bimatoprost products, making it ideal for sensitive eyes. |
| Free Applicator Brush | Includes a premium eyeliner-style applicator brush for precise, hygienic application to the lash line. |
| Natural-Looking Results | Grows your own natural lashes — no falsies, extensions, or glue required. Results look completely natural. |

Step 1 – Prepare: Remove all makeup, contact lenses, and ensure the eye area is clean and dry.
Step 2 – Apply: Place one drop of Bimat solution onto the included applicator brush (or a clean, fine-tip eyeliner brush). Carefully draw the brush along the base of the upper eyelashes, from the inner corner to the outer corner, like you would apply liquid eyeliner.
Step 3 – One Drop Per Eye: Use only one drop per eye. Blot any excess solution that runs beyond the lash line with a tissue. Do not apply to the lower lash line — the solution naturally transfers to lower lashes through blinking.
Step 4 – Frequency: Apply once daily in the evening before bedtime. Contact lenses may be reinserted 15 minutes after application.
Step 5 – Maintenance: Once you achieve your desired lash length (typically by week 12–16), reduce application to once or twice per week to maintain results.
Weeks 2–4: Subtle early changes. Lashes may begin to feel slightly stronger or appear marginally longer. Most visible change is not yet apparent.
Weeks 4–8: Noticeable improvement in lash length and thickness. Lashes begin to appear darker and more defined.
Weeks 8–16: Full results. Lashes are visibly longer, thicker, and darker. Many users report no longer needing mascara for everyday wear.
Ongoing: Continue once-weekly or twice-weekly maintenance application to preserve results. If you stop using Bimat entirely, lashes will gradually return to their natural state over several weeks.

Bimat is generally well-tolerated. Possible side effects include mild itching or redness at the application site, darkening of the eyelid skin (reversible upon discontinuation), and, rarely, a change in iris color with prolonged use. These effects are uncommon with external eyelid application (as opposed to eye drop use). If you experience persistent irritation, discontinue use and consult your eye care provider.
For external use on the upper eyelid only — do not drop directly into the eye. Do not apply to the lower lash line. Use a clean brush for each application to prevent contamination. Remove contact lenses before applying and wait 15 minutes before reinserting. Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of eye conditions, or are currently using eye drops for any condition.
Q: How is Bimat different from Latisse?
A: Both contain the same active ingredient (Bimatoprost 0.03%) and deliver equivalent lash growth results. Latisse is a branded product at a significantly higher price point. Bimat provides the same benefits at a fraction of the cost.
Q: Will my lashes stay long if I stop using Bimat?
A: Lashes will gradually return to their natural length over several weeks if you stop completely. Most users maintain results by continuing application 1–2 times per week.
Q: Can I use Bimat if I wear contact lenses?
A: Yes. Remove your contacts before applying Bimat and wait at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Q: Can I use mascara with Bimat?
A: Yes. Apply Bimat in the evening, and use mascara during the day as usual. Many users find they need less mascara (or none at all) once full results are achieved.
