does vaseline help eyebrows grow

Does vaseline really make eyebrows/eyelashes thicker?

Is there any evidence of this working, or is it just a myth?

Agreed- try castor oil every night! I've been using it for over a year now and it makes a big difference

I tried to use castor oil for a while but I gave up since I'd always wake up with my eye burning and sensitive for the whole morning

I definitely agree with this, Vaseline didn't do anything for me. I've been using castor oil now on my brows and lashes for about 3-4 years but it took approximately 6 months to begin to make a noticeable difference, while being extremely consistent as well. I have continued to see the benefits so it's staying a part of my routine for sure.

Where do you find yours? I've found stuff that has castor oil in it but it's either in something unsuitable for lashes or such a negligible amount it doesnt do anything.

Vaseline didn't work for me and neither did Castor oil. I have only gotten results with Latisse (RX in the US).

Vaseline holds in moisture which can help prevent breakage. It does not stimulate the hair follicles to help them grow; and I would not put vaseline on anything other than the tips of the hair. Like conditioner for the hair on your head. I have used it for a couple years now to help support growing my hair back after postpartum hair loss when I lost my eyelashes and eyebrow hair. I believe it serves its purpose and contributes to the health of the hair but you may need something else to stimulate actual hair growth first.

I've always used vaseline as a brow gel and although it looks nice, I'm more than sure it doesn't do anything as far as growth.

Try castor oil for 6 months. Guaranteed results

I've tried to put vaseline on every night on my lashes and brows for two weeks. The results never really fade away when I stopped. Never tried castor oil though.

Castor oil is the HG for hair growth. I got the Shea Moisture Castor Oil and Strengthening Shampoo and I'm telling you, my hair has grown like crazy. My brows have also from the shampooing. I think Vaseline is just moisturizing and doesn't it contain Petroleum Jelly?

level 2

don't vaseline and petroleum jelly mean the same thing?

I have really dry skin, so I've been using vaseline pretty much nightly on my face, eyes, eyebrows etc since I was 12 years old (I'm 20 now). There is absolutely no difference in growth, however I think it keeps everything hydrated which makes my lashes feel a lot stronger

I don't know if it's only for me because there is lot of people saying vaseline doesn't work for them but it does work for me. I just put it on every night casually.. and In the end of the month I definitely can see a result..:)

The only thing that worked for making my eyebrows grow was the Lumigan eyedrops applied on the eyebrows everyday. You can see growth and thickening around 4-6weeks and it's impressive.

Downside is that it costs a bit and if you stop using it, then the new growth can fall back again.

I've been brushing vaseline through my brows almost every night for about 3 years, and I didn't notice any growth. I only did this to reshape my brows a little more cleanly after my horrible high school eyebrow razor experiments, yikes. But I think they've come a long way in that respect :)

Yes!! I will advocate for Vaseline till the day I die
