Clinical and Testing Substantiation

In Plume's 8-week, healthcare-professional-supervised prospective observational study with 85 completers, most users reported noticeable results within 3 weeks, and zero prostaglandin side effects were reported.

Plume Elite is a cosmetic product. These results do not establish equivalence to Latisse or another prescription treatment. Individual results may vary.
