Reddit user lookatthatcass took her brows from limp to luscious in just three months with an item.
She showcased the three-month eyebrow growth progress in a post on the social platform.
She used the PURA D'OR Organic Castor Oil, $14.99, every night after a friend recommended it to her.
In the top left panel in the grid above, those are her OG brows which are penciled-in and have bad lighting.
She wrote in a comment that she regretted not having a plain close-up of the original brow without makeup on it.
The top right panel was the "awkward in-between growth phase" with natural lighting.
She was not smiling in this photo and her eyelashes were curled with mascara.
"Caterpillar brows" emerged in the bottom left panel image with her eyelashes curled without mascara this time.

She explained that she was grinning while it was being taken in natural lighting.
Lastly, the bottom right panel was her with "freshly threaded brows" after three months of hair growth.
"You can actually see in my pupils me taking the selfies in the same spot in front of the windows in my apt. If only I were consistent with my facial expression and makeup," she added in a comment.
The Reddit user admitted that she was "not expecting much" because of the "mixed reviews" the budget buy had, but cheaper brands previously caused her to get acne breakouts.
But this product worked wonders for her.
I got tired of paying for microblading appointments - I'm impressed by an $18 buy that fills in my brows the same way
"THEY LOOK SO GOODD," a Redditor commented.
"Thank you! When I tell people growing out eyebrows is hard as s**t, I feel like they don’t understand but it’s hard going from maintaining them almost every day to just not touching them AT ALL," she replied.
"You have to be painfully consistent to see results," another person added.
Redditor Lookatthatcass did have one suggestion from her experiences.
She recommended ordering separate applier brushes and not using the ones that come with the castor oil.
"The applier tubes Amazon ships with this castor oil are cheap/break easily," she explained.
She added that it was also cleaner for your skin to not reuse the same applier.
For a free alternative, she also suggested snagging a few trial mascara wands from Sephora " without looking suss" or suspicious.
