Manuf says better to use both cream/oil. Also claims OIL can help eyebrows & eyelashes, & can be used as pre-shampoo treatment. Any comments?

I've used both the cream and oil. I like the cream better (oil is, well, oily), but I did find that the oil made my eyelashes a little fuller and longer and my eyebrows filled in a little more. Not spectacular, but enough to be a very happy result of using the oil. I did some research on the oils, and argan, avocado and sesame oils all are known to help hair growth. The cream has other ingredients to make it a cream, the oil is 100% of the ingredients with helpful properties, so I guess it's a matter of which form you prefer. I found a little better results with the oils, but probably because it is 100% all oil so you don't have it mixed with other ingredients. I've used both the cream and oil.

Have only used cream/oil on face throat and backs of hands and would say that is is about average in skin improvement.

I use this instead of mousse. I believe it may become too heavy to use another setting or styling gel or mousse with it.

I can achieve an equally great lather with both soaps, but it requires slightly different techniques. With regard to the actual shave I get, the cream certainly goes on thicker & creamier--which requires more time & precision & is great when I have more hair but annoying when there's not so much hair.

I find serum to be more effective, more gentle, and more appropriate. any good brand will do. (e.g youth code facial serum is great too, under regular moisturizer, for daily use.) I would not use eye cream after discovering serum. much better moist, long lasting effect.

My husband is actually a hair transplant surgeon in mexico. The oil and shampoo can help, but are you currently using minoxidil or finasteride? We both just started using the shampoo, conditioner and oil last week because we both lose hair when we get stressed. I notice my hair breaking less and he likes the oil because it doesn't dry out his hair like minoxidil, but we need to use it a couple more weeks before I can give you an honest result. I feel like my hair is breaking and falling out less but that could just be me being hopeful!

I have used rubbing alcohol, and witch hazel. Both cut the oil. It depends on your skin and how dry it is. I prefer the witch hazel.

I have thin baby fine hair on top, and I use this instead of mousse for some volume. It works pretty good but try it both ways....I am not looking for hair that is weighted or attracts dirt or gives me the greasy look as my hair is also oily. Must shampoo every other day.

I have Moroccanoil and regret buying it because it is crap. It's almost entirely silicone. Dousing your hair with silicone will look good in the short term but can damage your hair and scalp in the long term, something I've already done by foolishly purchasing and using loads of silicone laden products and am now in the process of trying to fix. There's only a small bit of oil in Moroccanoil which is absurd considering what they charge for it. Contrary to Ulta's faulty ingredient listing there is no silicone in Diamond Oil and that makes it MUCH better.

I have extremely oily skin and as long as I don't touch my brows, the product will stay. However, if you subconsciously touch your face a lot, it might last throughout the day.

juanjok1, did you try these products? am looking for a mild organic shampoo to add some essential oils to fight the dandruff. I had sebhorric dermatitis on face and scalp. Face has cleared up (thanks to greatly reducing sugar intake but scalp is NOT cooperating, not matter what medicated shampoos I try). First I had few patches of huge flakes around the edge of my scalp which has now changed to all over scalp, smaller in size but many in number and very itchy. Can't wear dark solid tops anymore. Sorry, too much info!

Hi Michelle, I ended up not purchasing his product due to the high number of negative reviews. I opted for just using regular castor oil I purchased at Walgreen's. I apply a small amount of the oil to my fingers then onto my eyelashes and eyebrows about an hour before I go to bed every-other-night. I've noticed since using the castor oil (about 6 months now) that my eyelashes are longer and healthier. Also, my right eyebrow finally started growing back in as well and I actually had to tweeze it for the first time in over a year. An added an unexpected benefit: I don't suffer from dry-eye as much, either. (FYI: I'm 51 years old, and going through the "change" but looking at more natural options, rather than things that contain questionable chemicals to deal with my "deficiencies." GOOD LUCK TO YOU!)

As I understand it, the seed oil is better for anything internally related; and the berry oil is better for externally related (so your skin ). Hope this helps. I actually have used this very product in moderation due to its slight discoloration it causes on your skin. It does washes off .. but be careful not to stain clothes.

Cream. Be careful though, it can get greasy fast. I have oily skin but if you have normal to dry skin im sure it would be perfect!

I would say the mousse will work much better than the thickening cream. I've tried both and the thickening cream at first makes your hair feel full and then it seems to weigh it down after a few hours. Where as the mousse really makes and keeps your hair full.

i use the combination/oily. they don't sell that in stores anymore though. so i have to buy them from here. as for this Sensitive formula, i tried it a few times...wasn't for me. it was a little pastier than i'm used to.

I tried Smartlash and it didn't work for me. I am using GrandeLash and GrandeBrow and they both work great. I thought at first the Grandebrow was breaking me out, but it turned out to be brand new hair growth.

Yes, you can use them for your eyebrows, just make sure to put petroleum Vaseline under the color for protection for your eyes..........it can be left on for the hours it take to do your hair. Keep the color on for at least 2 hours, do not shampoo for 24 hours at which time it will be dry. They, mix 1 egg with 3 tbs virgin olive oil, cover hair and let sit for 30 minutes........wash out with shampoos and double condition with Aussie conditioner............the results are soft luxurious low and high lights..........enjoy!
