Beard Serum Vs Beard Oil: Which One is Right For Beard Growth?

Do you (men) have a patchy beard, and are you finding a way to make your beard well-groomed and attractive so that every head turns to you? If yes, you have two options - Beard growth serum and beard oil.

Many of you find it hard to determine what option you should choose and apply to get a fully-grown and well-groomed beard. Before getting into Beard Serum Vs Beard Oil, be familiar with what a beard serum and a beard oil are and basic ideas about beard growth.

Beard Growth - Comprehend the Science Behind It

Before getting and applying a beard growth serum or beard oil, it is essential to know how beard growth works:

Hair Growth Cycle - The growth of beard hair goes through three phases - anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting). Your beard grows thicker if the anagen phase is longer.
Testosterone and DHT - DHT or Dihydrotestosterone, a derivative of testosterone, plays a crucial role in beard growth. Higher DHT levels have a direct association with thicker facial hair.
Blood Circulation & Follicle Health- The proper blood flow makes sure that hair follicles receive nutrients and promotes growth.

Now, learn about beard serums and beard oils and the differences between them.

Beard Serum - What Is It and How Does It Work?

Beard serums are strenuous liquid products formulated for beard growth and health. With potent formulations of natural herbs, minerals, and vitamins, these serums give an extra boost to your beard and promote its healthy growth. Further, they help make your beard thicker and fuller.

Sheopal’s Beard Serum is formulated using Watercress Extract, Redensyl, and Saw Palmetto. Our beard hair growth serum penetrates hair follicles and the skin to produce the required nutrients.

It helps you have a fuller, thicker, and denser beard. This beard serum for men enhances beard volume, lowers frizz, keeps the skin hydrated, and supports healthy beard growth. Our beard hair growth serum is ideal for targeting patchy areas, accelerated beard growth, and thicker, denser hair.

Scientific evidence for our Beard Serum ingredients

Our beard growth serum contains three key ingredients - Redensyl, Watercress Extract, and Saw Palmetto. Here are a few scientific studies about these ingredients:

According to a study from the International Journal of Endocrinology, Saw Palmetto contains DHT, which helps get a denser and healthier beard.
One study printed in the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology states that Watercress Extract contains vitamins A, C, and K, iron, and calcium. These nutrients strengthen hair follicles and stop hair breakage.

Beard Oil - What Is It and How Does It Work?

Beard oil is a beard grooming oil that softens, hydrates, and nourishes both the beard (facial hair) and the skin beneath it. In general, it contains the right blend of natural oil and herbs to provide deep hydration and get rid of beard itchiness, dandruff, and irritability.

Our beard oil is Herbal Beard Oil Pro +. Its primary ingredients are Almond Oil, Kalonji Oil, Coconut Oil, Rosemary Oil, and Amla Oil. It helps counter dryness and keep the beard hydrated.
