The only thing with using growth serums is that you might need a prescription because of the risks involved in using it. The ingredients in some serums change the color of the eye. You must check the ingredients list and do as much research as possible to ensure that you are not harmful.
Using a serum to regrow your eyebrows is not as sensitive because they are slightly far from the eye. But again, do research and make your choice with the risk involved in mind. It is best to visit a doctor to get a prescription if your serum requires you to have a prescription. Having a doctor look at the damage also gives you an opportunity for professional advice and guidance.
Serums can also have other benefits because some have ingredients that prevent aging. The eye area has thin skin, which tends to age faster than the rest of its skin. Thus, having serums suitable for use around the area that can help with that as they help with eyelash and eyebrow growth is a big plus.
