Eyebrow serums: 5 most frequently asked questions

An eyebrow serum is a specially formulated liquid designed to stimulate the growth of your eyebrow hairs and improve the thickness and fullness of your eyebrows. It is usually applied to the eyebrows, often daily, and contains active ingredients aimed at lengthening the hair growth cycle, strengthening existing hairs and stimulating new hair growth.

Yes, eyebrow serums can really work, but the results depend on the specific formula, the ingredients and your own hair growth cycle. Many people experience noticeable improvements in the fullness and density of their eyebrows after consistent use of a quality eyebrow serum. Here are ingredients that determine whether an eyebrow serum can be effective for you:

Eyebrow serums contain active ingredients that promote hair follicle health and stimulate hair growth. The most common ingredients are:

• Peptides: These help strengthen hair follicles and promote growth.
• Biotin and keratin: These vitamins/builders support healthy hair growth by supplementing or boosting hair building materials.
• Nourishing oils and humectants: Castor oil and other natural oils are known to nourish hair follicles and make eyebrow hairs look fuller (often through moisturizing properties).
• Plant extracts: Can condition or dilate the vessels of hair follicles, leading to hair growth.
• Growth factors and prostaglandin analogues: These substances act on hair growth and cause hairs to remain in the growth phase longer. Regular use of a serum can stimulate weaker or inactive hair follicles to regrow hair. In addition, existing eyebrow hairs can become stronger and thicker, leading to a fuller appearance.

In our opinion, serums that use both peptides and analogues/growth factors are most effective when the goal is to stimulate as much hair growth as possible. With this, you achieve a hair growth stimulating effect from different angles with as few different ingredients as possible. With this philosophy, our Ecuri Beauty super brow serum was created.

• People with thin, over-epilated or uneven eyebrows.
  
• People who want to thicken their eyebrows or achieve a fuller look.
  
• Anyone who wants to naturally enhance their eyebrows without relying on makeup or semi-permanent treatments.
  
• Anyone whose eyebrow hairs are falling out (excessively).

Usually not, but this depends on the specific formula and the manufacturer's instructions. Many eyebrow serums contain similar ingredients to eyelash serums, such as peptides, biotin and nutrients that promote hair growth. However, there are some concerns:

Using an eyebrow serum effectively requires consistency and proper application method to achieve the best results. Here's a handy step-by-step guide to ensure that your eyebrow serum works optimally.

1. Cleanse your face thoroughly: Start with a clean canvas. Remove makeup and cleanse your face thoroughly so that no oil, dirt or other products are left on your brows. This ensures that the serum can be properly absorbed by the skin and do its job.
2. Dry your skin: Make sure your eyebrows are completely dry before applying the serum. This helps the ingredients absorb better and ensures that the serum is not diluted.
3. Apply a small amount of serum: Use the applicator (often a thin brush) to apply the serum directly to the brow line where you want thicker, fuller brows. Often one dip into the bottle is enough for both brows. Be sure to spread the serum evenly over the areas where you want to stimulate hair growth.
4. Let the serum dry: Let the serum dry completely before applying other products such as moisturizers or makeup. This usually takes a few minutes.
