What is brow serum, and how does it work?

The trend cycle of eyebrows is one of varying extremes, from pencil-thin brows to fluffy brows and beyond, one thing always stays the same; healthy eyebrows will always be in fashion. 

Whatever style of eyebrows you prefer, a regrowth brow serum should be in your beauty arsenal. Wondering ‘What is brow serum’? An eyelash growth serum is a powerful brow enhancer that can improve the look of thin, sparse or over-plucked brows, strengthening the brow hairs, so they can appear fuller and more defined over a certain period of time. 

Keep reading to learn ‘what is brow serum’ and how UKLASH can help you achieve your brow goals. 

How does a brow serum work?

Our brow serum at UKLASH works by infusing a blend of vitamins, extracts and peptides - the perfect concoction for eyelash growth. By applying to clean and dry brows daily, you can expect to see longer-looking lashes in 8-12 weeks. 

Here’s how to apply: 

  • Step 1: Remove your makeup with an oil-free makeup remover or cleanser.
  • Step 2: Apply a thin layer of UKBROW across your entire eyebrow line. One dip is enough for both brows.
  • Step 3: Wait until the serum has fully dried if applying additional beauty products.
  • Step 4: Allow the serum to work overnight.

Our brow serum works in sync with your eyebrow growth phases, as one of the key ingredients we rely on is Pumpkin Seed Extract. This works overtime by conditioning the hair, affecting the hair growth cycle at the same time. This helps to delay brow hairs falling out as long as possible, meaning your brows stay fuller and lusher for longer.

Brow Serum Hair Cycle Phases & Stages

 

Anagen Phase: Active Growth

The Anagen phase is also known as the growth phase. This is the most important phase when it comes to using UKBROW Brow serum, as it's during this phase that the eyebrows grow to their full length, making the most out of our nourishing ingredients and peptides. 

This phase usually lasts from 4-6 weeks. 

Catagen and Telogen Phases: Rest and Shedding

The Catagen phase is sometimes called the transition phase. In this phase, the eyelash has stopped growing, but it's not yet ready to shed and start the lash cycle anew. If an eyelash is pulled out in this stage, the lash cycle is disrupted, and the follicle will take even longer to grow back, and that's if the hair follicle isn't permanently damaged.

This phase lasts around 2-3 weeks. 

The Telogen phase, also known as the resting phase, is the final stage of the eyelash life cycle. At this point, the hair has stopped growing, and it’s preparing to shed, starting the growth cycle again. 

This phase can last up to 3 months.

These two phases create the perfect time to introduce lash life-extending products to your daily routine, as brow serum can prolong this resting phase, delaying shedding. 

How does a brow serum differ from brow-enhancing products?

Eybrow Enhancing Growth Serum

 

UKBROW Brow Serum stands out from other brow-enhancing products primarily due to its formulation and method of application. 

Unlike pencils, powders or gels that offer temporary brow solutions by shaping or filling in existing brow hairs, our brow serum is formulated with powerful peptides, vitamins and minerals to nourish and promote the growth of new eyebrow hair. 

Our serum should be applied to the skin beneath the brows, stimulating follicles for long-term results. In contrast to microblading or tattooing, brow serums are non-invasive and offer the most natural and gradual enhancement of your brow's thickness and fullness. 

This is why brow serums make the perfect choice for those seeking to achieve fluffy brows without all the commitment and potential side effects associated with more permanent options. 

What are the key ingredients commonly found in brow serums?

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 - Stimulates keratin growth

Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 stimulates keratin growth by mimicking the body's natural signalling mechanisms. When applied topically, this peptide can penetrate the hair follicles and skin, where it interacts with the necessary cellular receptors. It promotes the production of keratin, a key protein responsible for hair growth, by activating specific pathways within the cells. By doing so, Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17 encourages the development of stronger and healthier hair, including the growth of eyebrows and eyelashes. 

Vitamin B5 - Smooths, conditions and supports

When applied topically, Vitamin B5 attracts and retains moisture in the skin and hair, resulting in a smoother and more hydrated texture. Its conditioning properties come from its ability to penetrate the hair shaft, strengthening and softening it from within. Additionally, Vitamin B5 supports the overall health of skin and hair by aiding in the synthesis of essential compounds, such as fatty acids and proteins, which contribute to a healthier appearance and improved resilience.

Green Tea Extract - Helps grow long, fluttery lashes

Green tea extract promotes the growth of long lashes by offering a rich source of antioxidants. These antioxidants protect the lash follicles from damage, allowing them to function optimally and extend the growth phase of the lashes. This ultimately leads to longer and thicker lashes. Green tea extract also contains polyphenols that stimulate blood flow to the lash follicles, ensuring a steady supply of nutrients for lash health and growth.

Biotin Peptide - Vital for healthy hair growth

Biotin peptide is vital for healthy hair growth due to its role in supporting the production of keratin, a protein essential for hair strength and structure. This biotin derivative peptide can penetrate hair follicles, promoting increased keratin synthesis. Biotin itself is known as the "hair vitamin" because it aids in the conversion of nutrients into energy, necessary for the active hair follicles. Additionally, biotin helps in maintaining a healthy scalp, reducing dryness and flakiness, which can hinder hair growth. Overall, biotin peptide plays a crucial role in fortifying hair from within and creating the ideal conditions for robust and vibrant hair growth.

Peptides for Brow Growth

To put it simply, peptides are short chains of amino acids that are held together by peptide bonds. Peptides come together within our cells to form the proteins we need for a healthy appearance, including keratin, collagen and elastin.

Each peptide has its own purpose, and there are over a thousand different types of peptides. Some work to enhance your skin tone, while others target signs of ageing, balance the texture of your skin, support the skin barrier or even promote thicker-looking hair. 

When combined, these microscopic technologies can address certain cosmetic concerns of your choice, which is why we include them in our brow serum. 

Peptides for hair stimulate hair follicles for eyebrow growth by acting as signalling molecules. When applied topically, these small protein fragments can penetrate the skin and reach the follicles, where they interact with cell receptors. Peptides send specific messages to the follicles, prompting them to enter the growth phase, or anagen phase, which is crucial for new hair development. 

Additionally, peptides can enhance blood circulation in the area, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the follicles and further promoting eyebrow hair growth. By activating and nourishing the follicles, peptides play a pivotal role in creating the ideal conditions for thicker and fuller eyebrows.

Biotin and Vitamins

Biotin in our brow serum plays a crucial role in nourishing and strengthening eyebrow hair. Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is a key component supporting your brow hair's overall health. It aids in the production of keratin, the protein that forms the structure of hair, making brows more robust and less prone to breakage. 

Furthermore, biotin improves the hair's elasticity, which can reduce hair damage and thinning. When combined with other essential nutrients typically found in brow serums, such as peptides and vitamins, biotin fosters a nourishing environment for hair follicles, promoting healthier, stronger, and more luscious eyebrow growth.

Natural Extracts and Oils

Natural extracts and oils in brow serums offer a range of benefits for promoting eyebrow health and growth. Some commonly used extracts include:

  • Castor Oil: Rich in essential fatty acids, castor oil nourishes hair follicles, stimulates growth, and enhances the overall thickness of eyebrow hair.

  • Green Tea Extract: Packed with antioxidants, green tea extract helps protect hair follicles from damage, prolonging the hair growth phase and supporting healthier and longer brows.

  • Ginseng Extract: Known for its stimulating properties, ginseng extract can improve blood circulation in the brow area, providing more nutrients to the hair follicles and aiding in thicker and fuller brows.

  • Aloe Vera: This soothing and moisturising ingredient keeps the eyebrow area hydrated, preventing dryness and breakage.

  • Lavender Oil: Lavender oil has calming and anti-inflammatory properties that can reduce hair loss due to stress or irritation and promote a healthier environment for hair growth.
  • Selecting the Best Brow Growth Serum for You

    When choosing a brow serum, several factors should be considered. First, identify your specific needs, whether it's enhancing thickness, length or addressing sparse brows. For optimal results, look for serums with ingredients like peptides, biotin, and natural extracts. Always check for hypoallergenic and dermatologist-tested options to minimise the risk of irritation. Consider the serum's application method, ensuring it's convenient for your daily routine. Lastly, read reviews and seek recommendations to gauge the serum's effectiveness. 

    One product worth considering is our UKBROW Brow Enhancing Serum. It's known for its clinically tested formula with peptides and natural extracts to promote healthier and fuller brows. For those looking for a trusted option, UKLASH offers a suitable solution catering to individual needs.
