Last year I won a trial sample of some serum that claims to help thinning eyebrows regrow. The product is called Rapid Brow, I had seen it in my local Boots for a very hefty price tag of £37.00.
The reason it attracted me was that my brows have been thinning for around three years since I started with my gastro issues. The doctors have not really been able to give me any useful feedback regarding why it's happening nor do they seem to understand the psychological aspect this has on a woman especially as my head hair has been the same.
The product has won a lot of awards and has received amazing reviews in various magazines I have read, however customer reviews appeared to be completely one or the other. People either give it 5 stars seeing outstanding results or 1 star and calling it things like useless.
The serum comes in a small cardboard box, it gives the statistics on the front that in just 60 days I could see up to 108% thicker lashes.
Inside the box is a small purple tube which is sealed in some clear plastic wrap. Once this is removed the serum resembles a normal mascara tube.
You simply twist open like a mascara tube to reveal a wand. This is covered by a clear gel, this is the serum!
TO USE!
The serum is to be used twice a day, you simply remove the wand from the base then sweep it across the eyebrow. The wand combs the brow and works well at evenly distributing the serum onto the lashes.
PERSONAL EXPERIENCE!
Other than the fact my brows were thinning years of short narrow brows being the fashion had led to something many of us women have experienced, no re growth at all in the areas of over plucking! My largest problem is that my brows are now shorter than they should be!
After a week of using the serum something exciting happened, I noticed a few stray hairs at the outer edges of my brow, I was over the moon. Sadly my trial only lasted a few weeks so I did not see much more progress.
After getting some credit on Zeek thanks to some people signing up with my promo code (see post if your interested) I decided to splash out and treat myself to an Amazon voucher and purchase a new full sizes Rapid Brow.
I adore Zeek, the vouchers are discounted so your money goes further. I had £5 worth of promo credit and there was 4% discount. In other words the face value of the voucher was £45, Zeeks cost was £43, with my £5 promo credit deducted I only paid £38 for it.
On top of this the product is only £29 at the moment on Amazon so I basically paid £22 for it as my excess credit stayed on my Amazon account for future spends! Thanks Zeek!
WEEK 1!
I am going to update this as I use my product so anything that happens is fresh in my mind!
The little bit of previous growth is still there, nothing joined it after my sample ran out but at least I retained what I had grown. Nothing much visible happening this week yet, however the gel does help moisturise the brows and holds them in position during the day.
I have had no side effects of any sort from using it.
As you can see the ends of the brow are a only a few lashes thick, sorry about the stray untidy brows. Because I have been growing them I have not been over tidying the base either as I want to try and encourage the full brows thicker. I am hoping the gap between the top ones and the lower stray lashes gets some growth in the next few weeks so the curve is thicker.
On this side you can see the thinning at the front of the brow worse, this is not plucked! I have done no plucking in over 3 months on either brow.
I am happy with the few stray hairs that have started appearing!
