BRIGHTEN YOUR EYELIDS WITH ‘CINDERELLA DROPS’
Do you have a droopy upper eyelid that makes you look sleepy and hurts your confidence in social settings? If so, you have a condition called ptosis — and help is available. If you wish that your eye(s) opened wider, you should know about a solution we call “Cinderella Drops.” More commonly known under the brand name Upneeq, these prescription drops lift your eyelids for several hours before you turn back to the person you were — just like Cinderella!

The drops take about 20 minutes to work and typically keep your eyelid(s) raised for six to eight hours.

Because it is a stimulant, it should not be used by people who take MAO inhibitors or who have a history of narrow-angle glaucoma or unstable cardiovascular disease. Whether you want a quick way to brighten your look or a glimpse into what a permanent end to droopiness could look like, “Cinderella Drops” are here to give your eyes a brighter look.
