Over-plucked in the noughties. Thinning with age. Patchy at the tails no matter what you do. If you fill in your brows every single morning and wish you didn't have to, you're not alone. The best eyebrow serum is peptide-led, prostaglandin-free and hormone-free, easy to apply exactly where your brows are sparse, and backed by a guarantee long enough to see real results. Our pick is the Dermaworks Advanced Eyebrow Growth Serum, for fuller, thicker, more defined-looking brows that are all yours.
The market is crowded, and not every serum is what it seems. Some are little more than conditioners. Others use drug-like ingredients with side effects you'd never expect from a cosmetic. Here's exactly what to look for, what results to expect, and why we're proud to put our name to ours.
5 things to check before you buy an eyebrow serum
A peptide that targets fuller-looking brows
Look for a peptide such as Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 near the top of the ingredients list. Peptides are the workhorses of a good brow serum, helping brows look thicker, fuller and more defined with consistent use. A serum that's mostly oils and fragrance is a conditioner, not a growth serum.
No prostaglandins, and no hormones
Some lash and brow serums use prostaglandin analogues, ingredients related to glaucoma medicines, such as isopropyl cloprostenate, MDN, ethyl tafluprostamide and norbimatoprost. They can cause permanent darkening of the iris, darker eyelids, irritation and fat loss around the eyes. In January 2026 France's health agency ANSES issued a consumer warning, and in February 2026 the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety found none of the prostaglandin analogues it assessed safe for cosmetic lash or brow use. Your brows sit right next to your eyes, so choose prostaglandin-free and hormone-free from the start.
A complete formula that conditions too
Growth-focused peptides work best in a complete formula. Hydrating and strengthening ingredients keep brow hairs healthier-looking and less prone to breakage, so every new hair can show off its full length.
An applicator that goes where you need it
Brows aren't uniform. A precise applicator lets you focus on the sparse spots, the gaps and the tails, without wasting product or smudging it into the rest of your skincare.
A guarantee long enough to see results
Brow hair grows in slow cycles, so no honest brand should promise results in days. Look for a guarantee that gives you at least 60 days, which is how long a brow serum needs to show what it can really do.

How long does an eyebrow serum take to work?
Brows grow in slow cycles, and eyebrows can be more stubborn than eyelashes, so patience is part of the plan. With consistent morning and evening use, here's what to expect:
Week 1: your journey begins
Make it part of your morning and evening routine. The serum starts conditioning your brow hairs and the skin beneath them from the very first application.
Week 4: early signs
Many people start to notice healthier-looking, better-conditioned brows, and some see the first signs of fuller brows in sparse areas.
Weeks 6–8: visible improvement
Brows look noticeably fuller, and patchy areas start to fill in as new hairs appear.
Week 12 and beyond: your best brows
Enjoy the fuller, thicker, naturally defined brows you've been working towards, then keep them that way with 2–3 applications a week. Results vary from person to person.

Does it really work? Real results
Real results with the Advanced Eyebrow Growth Serum. Results vary.
"By week eight the gaps were noticeably filling in and by twelve weeks I barely need brow pencil anymore." — Chloe M., Leeds
"Started using this morning and night and within ten weeks they looked fuller and more defined than they have in years." — Diane R., Surrey
"I am even getting growth where there's been no hairs for years!" — Anne B.
How do you use an eyebrow serum for the best results?
- Start with clean, dry brows. Remove every trace of brow make-up and cleanse first.
- Apply a thin layer along your natural brow line, making sure it reaches the roots, and focus on the sparse areas.
- Let it dry before you apply skincare or make-up.
- Use it morning and evening for 8 weeks, then 2–3 times a week to maintain your results.
Two tips that make a real difference: put the tweezers down while your brows grow in, and don't skip days. Consistency is everything. For more detail, read our guide on how to apply brow serum.
Brow serum vs castor oil vs microblading: which is best?
A brow serum isn't the only route to fuller-looking brows. Here's how the main options stack up.
| Advanced Eyebrow Growth Serum | Castor oil | Microblading | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works on your own brows | Yes | Conditions only | No, it's semi-permanent tattooing |
| Results | Visible improvement from around 6–8 weeks | Softer, glossier hairs | Instant shape |
| Upkeep | 2–3 times a week after 8 weeks | Ongoing, and messy | Regular top-up appointments |
| Cost | £24.99 | Low | Salon treatment, much higher |
| Money-back guarantee | Yes, give it 60 days | No | No |
Castor oil is a decent conditioner, but it doesn't contain the peptides that help brows look fuller: we compare the two in are eyebrow serums better than castor oil? Microblading gives instant shape, but it's a tattoo, not your own brow hair. Many people try a serum first to see what their natural brows can do. Read eyebrow serum vs microblading to decide.
