Can I use folliserum for my eyebrows? I've noticed that the hair on one side is kind of superficial. I'm wondering if folliserum would be a good option for this. Any advice would be appreciated!

Folliserum is a topical solution containing minoxidil, which is commonly used to promote hair growth. It can be used for eyebrows as well. You can apply a small amount of Folliserum on the sparse areas of your eyebrow once daily. Make sure to wash your face before applying and allow it to dry before applying the solution.
