I just started using rapid brow about a week or two ago and no change or discoloration yet.

Watch carefully, took about 3 weeks for me to notice the discoloration under my brows, it looks like I am wearing dark grey shadow when I am not.

Hmmm, that used to be a possible side effect of RapidLash as well as Latisse, and I think they said it was permanent. I know the eye color change was permanent.  However, RapidLash removed the prostaglandin which acted like the active ingredient in Latisse after pressure from the FDA and now uses a sea coral extract.  I would expect RapidLash and RapidBrow to be the same or very similar formula.  Any chance you're using an old version of it?  Do you still have the ingredient list?  I have had no luck with the never version of RapidLash and I don't even think they call it a lash growth serum anymore.

Thanks for sharing that, @Icegoddess. I haven't used it in years and didn't know they changed the formula. I'll stop recommending it to people based on that information.

From what I have read about the skin-darkening affects of lash and brow enhancing products is that the dark skin will eventually fade away after you stop using them. How long it takes, I don't know.

I am using Rapid Brow, some reviewers on Amazon said they also have skin darkening under the brows. Dont have the box, but mine is new, exp date is 2021.  I just sent the company an email.  Rapid Lash never contained prostaglandin, but a different ingredient that had similar side effects, they long removed this ingredient from Rapidlash.

I know you are using Rapid Brow, but as I said I would expect them to be pretty much the same formula.  However as far as prostaglandins go:  

The previous formula of RapidLash contained isopropyl cloprostenate, a synthetic prostaglandin analog, which is in the same class of compounds as bimatoprost.

Bimatoprost is the active ingredient in Latisse, which was found to be the cause of most side effects associated with the product.

My Rapidbrow has exp of 2021 so it has to be a newer formula.

I used Rapidlash off and on for several months at a time.  It did make my lashes longer and brows more full.  I never had any discoloration, but that's just me.  I have stopped it for a while in order to try a blend of castor oil, vit. E oil and Avocado oil I made up myself.  I have not really seen any length from this oil, but I feel it is still good for brows and lashes.  Rapidlash would stop working after a while, then I would give it a break and go back to it. I may order Black Castor Jamaican oil to mix with my oils. I hear it is good.

I have done some research, it seems there are 2 US companies mfg Rapidbrow, one is Rocasuba in Mass, other is Intl Research in Cal, but supposedly formulas are same, I am calling both of them.  It is also mfg in the UK.
