Tinted eyebrow gel versus eyelash & eyebrow serum: are there differences between these two products?

The tinted eyebrow gel is a versatile cosmetic product that allows to define, color, and hold eyebrows in place. Easy and quick to use, it offers the possibility to achieve perfectly structured eyebrows in a single step, even on rushed mornings. Moreover, eyebrow gels are formulated with pigments that color existing hairs, and sometimes even the skin beneath the hairs, thus creating the illusion of fuller eyebrows.

Furthermore, unlike other eyebrow products such as pencils or powders, tinted eyebrow gels do more than just color the eyebrows: they contain setting agents that lightly adhere to the hairs and freeze them in a chosen position. This action is particularly beneficial for individuals whose eyebrows tend to be unruly or adopt a messy appearance.

As its name suggests, the eyelash & eyebrow serum is primarily a treatment. It is designed to promote the health of eyelashes and eyebrows by nourishing and strengthening them. Its formulation is generally rich in vegetable oils but also in active ingredients that work to improve the anchoring of the hair bulb in the dermis and limit hair loss. Most eyelash & eyebrow serums are also capable of strengthening the lipid cement present between the scales of the cuticle, the outermost layer of the hair. In addition to improving the impermeability of the cuticle, this provides more flexibility and softness to the hair.

Eyelash and eyebrow serums are particularly beneficial for individuals with thin or sparse eyebrows, perhaps due to excessive plucking, or those with coarse eyebrows. For these treatments to be effective, it is recommended to apply them regularly, ideally once a day. It should be noted that the effects are not immediate and require several weeks of use to become visible.
