Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.
So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.
You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Didn't work for me
This makes me breakout in my eyebrow area. No, it's not folliculitis -- the skin between the hairs develops whiteheads and pustules.
My eyebrows are very faint and I don't have a lot of them. Boybrow didn't really do enough to make them stand out more, but the color does at least last, as minimal as it is.
