This stuff actually works! I was SUPER surprised. I have been using this everyday for like a year. I've just included it into my makeup routine and every time I get out of the shower. I've actually noticed that it works best/grows more if I use it when my skin is still warm from the shower. I've gone through almost 3 tubes. Now I know a year sounds like a long time to see results, especially using it every day, but that all depends on what you're looking for.I wanted it to fill in scars and so that I didn't have to practically draw on my left eyebrow.And for the most part, that goal was sorta reached. It took a year, but my eyebrows match now.For me, I have 3 separate scars on my eyebrow. One scar goes horizontally through my entire left eyebrow. A millimeter below that is also a horizontal scar that goes directly under the place where the other horizontal scar is. Another goes vertically toward the T zone, but is still in the eyebrow hair (where it should be).So for like 17 years I've been walking around like a hot mess with my left eyebrow arched like a horizontal parentheses sign. And my right eyebrow frowning at my left like }. No joke. Just a mess.**To be clear, this did not fill in the scaring, HOWEVER it has made the hair around it long enough to cover the scar. Some of the less deeper parts of the scars did grow hair though!! It's so exciting. My eyebrows practically match now. And I barely fill them in!!The wand looks like any other basic mascara wand. I honestly think it feels really weird while I put it on and while its drying, but after I don't mind. It also has a kind of odd smell, but I don't smell it (and neither does anyone else, I've asked) once its dried. Its like using clear mascara on your eyebrows. Each one has lasted me a really long time. I actually bought one tube to begin with to see if it worked and then bought a 3 pack. I gave one from the 3 to my sister because she wanted to grow her overplucked eyebrows out. She used it for about a month before she got tired of doing it every night. So I don't know. I personally think doing it every day is a small price to pay for nice eyebrows again. I guess it just depends how much your eyebrows mean to you. I do the whole eyebrow question thing so it's important to me. OkSo I added this to my makeup routine. It's kinda like eyebrow gel, but slightly thicker. I apply this TO THE SKIN ON THE EYEBROW. You have to remember this is not mascara; if you brush it on the hairs you're just painting the hair and that's not what this is for; this is to make the skin that does not usually produce hair (at least not eyebrow hair) grow hair. So you don't have to put a ton on, but enough on that it's on the skin where you want the growth.Takes a while to dry, but I usually do something else while I wait. If you're like me and fill in the sparse areas then PLEASE make sure you wait until it's dry. It's just a mess if not.This truly did help me. I know it may sound crazy to some people - that my eyebrows (eyEBROWS???) could make me feel bad about myself, but it does make sense. I mean, when you look in the mirror and one side of your face doesn't look close to matching up with the other, you feel ugly. I'm not saying having bad eyebrows ruined my life because that would be dumb, but it did lower my confidence and make me feel ehk.SO I found this and a year later I feel like my eyebrows are sorta twins!!! I still use this today even because I figured out about 4 months in that when you need a whole new eyebrow, it's best to ease it in to it. As in, focus on the spots that are sparse first, not empty. If you do them at the same time, it will look like you have never heard of tweezers, much less wax, in your life. I can't guarantee that you're eyebrows will look 100% good every day that you try to grow them out, but it's a process and honestly it has to be done, grasshopper.I recommend if you don't like adding this to your morning routine, then doing it at night and washing it off in the morning. I find that I see better result if I use it right after I get out of the shower even though I use it every morning I don't shower.Anyways, so comparing my eyebrows now to how they looked a year ago is scary. I still fill them in a bit, but mostly where I'm still working on the empty spots. You can still see the vertical scar, but now it looks fine even when I don't fill it in. Also, I want to point out that when I say fill in, I mean I lightly dab it a couple of times with my eyebrow wax (E.L.F.), but only so that it blends it in with the rest and you can still see skin by it. A year ago I was not dabbing, but I literally had to draw and then rub it in so it didn't look draw on (but it did) which was a huge hassle getting ready for school. I had to color it in to match the shape of the other one and then had to color the right eyebrow to match the color of the left then blah blah blah.. A hassle I tell you.My whole goal with this was to not have to fill in my eyebrows everyday. Now, you can't see the scar going through my eyebrow at all now, because the hairs above and below it cover it enough, which is saying a lot because it's deep and pretty long in it's entirety. The scar just under that is pretty noticeable now, but not in a bad way I don't think. I actually like it as a matter of fact. I'm still kind of in shock that I have eyebrow hair on my left one. I'm like super thankful this was recommended to me. All the other hair growth stuff would have been too expensive, especially if it didn't work.So as I said, I pretty much now only use this now as a gel to guide the hair where I want, to keep up the progress of my new and improved eyebrows, and to keep working on my arches. Also, I wanted to recommend that when you see progress (a noticeable difference, not 3 hairs) getting your eyebrows tinted or diy. I've done it once or twice and I thought it made my eyebrows look really good afterward because the progress was even more profound.I really recommend this to everyone! It worked wonders for me and I hope it does for you too!!The area of brow that has hair is slighty fuller. The area where I want hair has more fine hairs growing. However, that area is still gapped after one month of use. I am going to keep applying and see if I aquire any additional results. In the photos you can see the beginning of my brows have long brows growing. You can also tell that I have had my brows plucked where the tech would pull straight up because that's how the are growing, straight up! I will trim them but I wanted to see the difference if any. (I haven't plucked, waxed or trimmed while waiting to take the photos.) The beginning of my brows show the most improvement as far as individual hair fullness and how fast they are growing. Again new hair growth is fine and gapped.I think age maybe a determining factor on how well this product works. I am in my 40's, so for 20+ years I have been keeping my eyebrows in the thin 90's shape. I noticed there is a young lady in one of the other review photos and she is having great success with this brand accelerator. I'm seeing a small difference but again, I think that may be because of the years difference in brow removal and shaping.After so long of plucking and shaping, you begin to damage the whole growth process until growth isn't possible. Also, now spa techs say to always wax, never pluck. They made that change a little to late in my life.I have extremely long full eyelashes already. That's why I have not mentioned eyelashes. The accelerator is clear and has a mascara type brush for application. All you do pull the brush along your brow and also in the area you want more hair to grow. Too easy! Like other reviewers, I apply morning and night. Although I put a small amount in the morning and put a thicker two layer amount on at night. Being clear it doesn't interfere with make up application, I just have more time at night.I received three individual packages that looked exactly the product photo in the ad. One of bottles was busted at the bottom. It was unuseable. Although the liquid didn't leak out, it had dried inside the tube. I lost a little money but when you divide the total cost by two (useable bottles), your talking $5.84 + tax each. I think I'll live!Good ?Garbage. Don't bother.
