I’m looking for recommendations for an eyebrow growth serum. Anyone know of one that works well? I know some are pricey but I’m willing to pay if I know it works! Thanks in advance. 😊

Sorry, I don't. I have tried different products over the years. Lost all my hair including eyebrows with original diagnosis and chemo. They never really came back well and nothing worked for me. I finally got microblading done. Now I no longer have to fuss with makeup. Good luck in your quest. Eyebrows do make all the difference!

Some of the serums for lashes and brows have hormones in them and might not be a good idea. A friend was going to gift me a product that she'd been using with great results...she thought it would be good for me as it was actually developed by a dermatologist for his wife who had cancer.

But the difference was she was in recovery following chemo....not stage 4 like us.

And when we looked into the details of the product it actually said "not recommended for cancer patients"...

My brows and lashes have thinned a lot.

I use a Mascara with added fibres and a similar brow version to boost the thickness temporarily. Benefit and Mac have good options.

Hello, I hope my comments help you. I'm on Letrozole and Ibrance. I was using Latisse for my eyelashes and whatever was left in the brush, I used on my eyebrows. Latisse is pretty expensive so I got a prescription from my oncologist for the generic bimatoprost ophtalmic. 03%. I used Good RX and got it for half the expense.

While talking about hair...for the hair on my head I'm using Bosley minoxidil aeresol 5% and I've seen growth! About 2 inches (fill in since I didn't lose all my hair).

Because of lack of estrogen, I went to Sprouts and asked what I might use. They suggested SEA-el moringa oil, repair& replenish facial oil. I had never used oil on my face and I kind of love it!!

I'm grateful for all of my life saving medications.

Thanks! Good to know! I will have to ask my oncologist about it.

Also, when applying Bimatoprost use a small brush, drop the drops, 2 or 3, on the brush. Go over each upper eyelashes. I forgot that if you hadn't tried Latisse you might not have know that!!

I’ve been using Librow by cosmetic alchemy for a while now. No issues at all, and works. My brows never grew back fully from my first bout of chemo, so I looked into all sorts of things and this was the only one that worked for me, but I didn’t try any prescription serums. It is a bit pricey, but now I buy the 6 month size around Christmas sale, and use it all year long. For the first several months you need to apply it nightly, but now I only need to make sure I get it on 1-2 times a week. Very, very satisfied.

Brows thinned even more from Ibrance and Letrozol, so I know how you feel about missing brows….without them you still look like a cancer patient and your eyes have no frame.

Thanks. I will have to look in to that one. I've never heard of it. :)

thank you greatday2 for asking the question…I’m in my first round of Piqray and am experiencing dry skin and eyebrows are getting thin…I ended up buying the sea el moringa oil for face and the sea el castor oil for eyes. Thanks to all who made the suggestions!

microblading was a game changer! Looks real and my brows always look perfect.

I agree. Just get up and go. I use to fret about my brows. For a while I used pencil to fill in and sometimes one would rub off and I would end up with one brow.. lol.
