Best eyelash & eyebrow growth serums for thickness

Thick and full eyelashes and eyebrows, it’s definitely the in-look of the moment, but for some, it’s just not a look we can naturally achieve. Thankfully there are plenty of eyelash and eyebrow growth serums on the market that we can shop instead.

Formulated with the best ingredients these serums are going to help you achieve longer and healthier looking lashes, you’ll just need a little bit of patience.

These products aren’t going to work overnight, they’re going to take weeks to see some improvement, but there’s no doubt that they’ll make your lashes and brows look healthier and fuller.

Why are our eyebrows and eyelashes likely to go thinner and more sparse?

The most common reason is age, which is difficult because it's something that we can't stop. As we age our hair follicles will become weaker and also reduce too. This means our hair, lashes and eyebrows can look thinner, shockingly even to the point that we have none at all.

Other causes might include chemotherapy treatments, stress, nutritional deficiencies or even hormonal disorders.

Rubis Eyelash And Brow Anti Ageing SerumRubis Eyelash and Brow anti-ageing serum

This is definitely one of the more expensive of the bunch, but it’s definitely worth it because of the formula of the product. The Rubis Eyelash and Brow anti-ageing serum has two ingredients which are designed to stimulate the hair's growth deep in the follicles, panthenol and biotinoyl GHK.

The formula nourishes and helps to maintain the health of the cells, the effects are not merely cosmetic, but go all the way to the root.

New growth alone is not truly beneficial if hairs break off too easily or fall out too soon. In addition to panthenol and biotinoyl GHK, this formula contains important plant proteins to strengthen and ensure thicker, healthier eyelashes and eyebrows.

Hyaluronic acid is known for its natural anti-ageing effects – its inclusion in this formula helps to reduce the thinning of eyebrows and eyelashes that can happen due to the normal ageing process.

This product is definitely worth the price tag, which you’ll see after a few weeks, the only downside is the packaging. The nib is great for applying a bit of product to the brows, but it’s a little too big to get at the eyelashes, it’ll take some practice, or do what we did and apply the product to a cotton bud and rub along the lash line.
