A well-groomed, healthy-looking eyebrow can significantly change the character of the face, the gaze, and the overall appearance.
But what if your eyebrows have become sparser, thinner than before? Or you simply want to maintain a stronger, fuller appearance of the hairs?
The good news is that with a few simple habits, you can do a lot for the care of your eyebrows. However, the most important thing is patience: the eyebrow growth cycle is slow, so changes take time.
Why might eyebrows be sparser?
There can be several reasons for eyebrow thinning. One of the most common is excessive or prolonged eyebrow plucking, but this is not the only factor.
The appearance of the eyebrows can be influenced by factors such as:
- frequent plucking,
- age-related changes,
- hormonal changes,
- stress,
- unilateral or inadequate nutrition,
- certain skin problems,
- mechanical irritation,
- as well as certain diseases or medications.
If the eyebrows suddenly start to fall out in patches, or noticeably thin out along with other hair, it is advisable to consult a dermatologist, as it may not be a simple cosmetic issue.
The eyebrows also have a growth cycle
The eyebrow hairs go through a growth cycle just like the hair.
There are three main phases:
1. Anagen – growth phase
During this period, the hair actively grows.
2.Catagen – transitional phase
Growth slows down and then gradually stops.
3. Telogen – resting phase
The hair enters a resting state, then eventually falls out, and a new strand may begin to grow.
This is one reason why it is not worth giving up eyebrow care after a few days or weeks. Eyebrow regrowth can take months.
The first and most important rule: do not overpluck!
If you want fuller eyebrows, one of the simplest things you can do is to leave your eyebrows alone for a while.
Continuous tweezing can mechanically irritate the hair follicle environment, and if the same strands are removed for a long time, some strands may have a harder time growing back.
You don't have to completely give up on formatting; rather, try to maintain the natural shape and only remove the truly necessary strands.
Give your eyebrows some time!
Proper cleansing is also part of eyebrow care
You might not think so, but cleaning the skin around the eyebrows is important.
Throughout the day, makeup, sebum, sunscreen, and other impurities can accumulate around the eyebrows. However, removing these should not involve strong rubbing.
The goal is gentle yet thorough cleansing.
For this, a good choice from the Maruderm range could be the Maruderm Gentle Cleansing Gel for Sensitive Skin, which the brand offers specifically for cleansing sensitive skin.
It is especially important not to rub the skin around the eyebrows strongly and not to try to remove makeup aggressively.
If you want fuller eyebrows, it is worth choosing a targeted serum
Today, we can find serums specifically developed for eyebrow care.
One of the products made for this purpose by Maruderm is:
Maruderm Water-Based Strengthening Eyebrow & Eyelash Serum – Vitamin E, Procapil
This serum is specifically designed for the care of eyebrows and eyelashes.
The formula contains, among other things:
- Procapil complex,
- Vitamin E,
- panthenol,
- niacinamide,
- hyaluronate,
- caffeine,
- as well as peptides and plant-derived ingredients.
The product can be used to support the stronger, fuller, and healthier appearance of eyebrows and eyelashes.
Its use is simple: apply to clean eyebrows using the applicator twice a day, in the morning and evening.
Why are peptides and biotin interesting?
Eyebrow serums often contain peptides and biotin.
For example, Maruderm's eyebrow and eyelash serum contains Biotinoyl Tripeptide-1, as well as Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
These are ingredients specifically used in cosmetic formulas targeting hair and hair follicles.
However, the key here is consistency: it is not worth expecting dramatic changes from an eyebrow serum overnight; the key is perseverance.
Don't forget to take care of the skin around the eyebrows
To achieve a healthy appearance of the eyebrows, it is worth taking care of not only the hairs themselves.
The condition of the skin surrounding them is also important.
If the skin is dry, irritated, or feels uncomfortably tight, it is advisable to pay attention to hydration in your routine.
For this purpose, the Maruderm Centella Asiatica Soothing and Hydrating Milk Serum can also be considered for the care of the skin around the eyebrows, of course avoiding direct eye contact. The formula contains Centella Asiatica, hyaluronate, and panthenol, and the brand recommends it for sensitive skin as well.
If you prefer a creamy texture, the Maruderm Centella Soothing Hydrating Cream also contains Centella Asiatica, hyaluronate, allantoin, and panthenol.
Important: these should not be used as eyebrow growth products, but rather for hydrating the skin around the eyebrows and supporting its comfort.
And what about castor oil?
Castor oil is perhaps one of the most well-known home "eyebrow growth" methods.
Many use it on their eyebrows because it can make the strands shinier, softer, and more well-groomed.
However, it is important to make a distinction:
just because an oil conditions the hair strands, it does not mean it has been proven to stimulate the growth of new hair follicles.
Therefore, do not consider castor oil as a guaranteed eyebrow growth solution.
If you do decide to try it, use a very small amount, and be careful not to get it in your eyes. If you have sensitive skin, test it on a small area first.
Nutrition also matters
For healthy hair and fur growth, the body needs the right nutrients.
It can be particularly important to ensure adequate:&
- protein intake,
- iron,
- zinc,
- B vitamins,
- omega-3 fatty acids,
- as well as other vitamins and minerals.
However, this does not mean that the more dietary supplements you take, the fuller your eyebrows will be.
In case of deficiencies, proper supplementation may be significant, but there is no need to take unnecessarily high doses of vitamins.
If your eyebrows or hair are noticeably thinning, it is better to look for the underlying cause than to buy dietary supplements blindly.
Is eyebrow massage worth it?
A very gentle eyebrow massage can be a pleasant part of the evening routine.
With your fingertip, you can gently massage the area around the eyebrows for a few seconds with minimal pressure.
However, be careful to:
- not rub the skin,
- not pull the hairs,
- not use too much force,
- not massage irritated skin.
The massage alone is not expected to have a proven eyebrow growth effect, but it can be a pleasant part of a gentle care routine.
Maruderm recommendation: Water-Based Strengthening Eyebrow & Eyelash Serum
If you would like to complement your eyebrow care with a targeted serum, it is worth checking out the Maruderm Water-Based Strengthening Eyebrow & Eyelash Serum – Vitamin E, Procapil formula.
The water-based serum has been specifically developed for the daily care of thinning, weaker, or dull-looking eyebrows and eyelashes.The formula contains vitamin E and Procapil, along with panthenol, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, caffeine, and peptides.
The Procapil complex, according to the product description, helps reduce hair loss and supports the formation of stronger, more resilient strands, while vitamin E contributes to the protection of strands against external environmental effects. Panthenol and niacinamide support maintaining proper hydration and a healthier appearance.
How to use?
The serum should be applied to clean eyebrow and eyelash areas using the applicator. According to Maruderm's recommendation, it can be used twice daily, in the morning and evening, for all skin types. It is important not to apply it on irritated or damaged skin and to avoid direct contact with the eyes.
However, in eyebrow care, consistency is key: it is not advisable to expect immediate noticeable changes from a single product.Give time for the natural growth cycle of the eyebrows, while avoiding excessive plucking and harsh makeup removal.

This is what a simple eyebrow care routine can look like
If you want to contribute to a healthier and fuller appearance of your eyebrows, you don't need to establish a complicated routine.
Morning
1. Gentle cleansing

What NOT to do if you want fuller eyebrows?
Some habits can do more harm than good.
❌ Do not pluck your eyebrows daily.
❌ Do not rub harshly when removing makeup.
❌ Do not tug at the hairs.
❌ Do not use a lot of new products at once.
❌ Do not expect dramatic growth in just a few days.
❌ Do not use products around the eyes that are not formulated for that area.
When is it advisable to consult a professional?
If your eyebrows have gradually become thinner, it is often related to previous grooming habits or natural changes.
However, if they suddenly fall out or are patchy, and you notice similar changes on your scalp or eyelashes, it is advisable to seek the opinion of a dermatologist.
At this point, it is more important to find the underlying cause than to try more and more eyebrow serums.
