If you’ve succumbed to over-plucking at some point or you’ve experienced hair loss, the best eyebrow growth serums can help you get that fullness back—no painful microblading necessary. “Similar to eyelash serums, over-the-counter brow products can encourage longer, thicker eyebrow hair,” Dustin Portela, DO, a board-certified dermatologist in Idaho, tells Glamour.
To help you find the ones that actually deliver, Glamour editors put a variety of dermatologist-recommended serums to the test. Our team carefully evaluated ingredient lists, ease of use, and overall effectiveness. Below, find the best eyebrow growth serums—many of which can be used on lashes too. (TL;DR: RevitaLash’s RevitaBrow continues to be our far-and-away favorite, delivering noticeable results within just a few weeks of consistent use, even for testers with sensitive skin. If you’re looking for a more budget-friendly pick, give RapidBrow a try.)

RevitaBrow Advanced Eyebrow Conditioner (3 ml)
- What we love: Strengthens and conditions; suitable for sensitive skin
- What could improve: May cause hair growth in unwanted spots; not pregnancy-safe
This brow enhancer takes the top spot on our list, as multiple experts we spoke to (including dermatologists, makeup artists, and beauty editors) raved about the formula’s effectiveness. “It contains a prostaglandin analogue as well as saw palmetto and a biopeptin complex—two ingredients that help strengthen and condition hair follicles,” says Claire Wolinsky, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Spring Street Dermatology in NYC. It’s a great pick for sensitive skin, too, since the brow gel is hypoallergenic and nonirritating. Plus, it’s vegan and cruelty-free.
The wand makes this serum super easy to apply, and it works pretty quickly. “It definitely filled in spots where my brows were having a hard time growing on their own,” says Jordin Bjelland, a makeup artist from Montana. “I began to see results after about four weeks of daily use, but it felt like six weeks was the sweet spot.”
Our reviewer says: “I’m a big, big fan of RevitaBrow’s brow-growth serum (as well as its lash-growth serum, which works miracles),” says Glamour commerce editor Malia Griggs. “I’ve used it for almost nine months now, and it’s done an amazing job thickening and softening the hairs. In the pictures above, you can visibly see (or I hope you can) that the hairs are more numerous. I’m not wearing any pencil or eyebrow gel in that ‘after’ picture! Even the woman who threads my brows every month has asked what I’m using because she’s seen the difference too. Plus, one tube goes a long way—I’ve used the same tube for over four months now. But be careful where you apply the serum, as it’s quite powerful. I’ve noticed that the hairs outside my brow line grow a lot faster, too, so I wind up needing to thread them every three weeks instead of four.”

- What we love: Moisturizing; strengthens hair follicles
- What could improve: Have to be very precise in application because of its wand
Recommended by multiple dermatologists, this hero serum—available OTC from the makers of GrandeLash—contains the prostaglandin analogue hormone for boosting hair growth. It also has hyaluronic acid to condition brow hairs and L-proline, an amino acid that helps fortify hair follicles, says Dr. Wolinsky. Jenneane Rocha, an esthetician in Sacramento, also recommends it. “After years of tweezing and waxing and getting older, my natural brows stopped growing, making it difficult to get a fuller shape. With daily use, this serum completely rehabbed my eyebrows, and now I recommend it to all of my clients,” she says.
