What the gurus are saying

The opaque lavender shade opens up the eyes and applies smoothly, and the pomade itself caught the wave of the fluffy brow trend when it launched in 2015, quickly becoming one of Glossier's most popular products. Gurus praise how well it works over brow gels and waxes, delivering the natural, full brow look without harsh definition. It earned its cult-favourite status as a go-to for anyone wanting effortless brow coverage.

"This is the Glossier Boy Brow in [...] the lavender shade. I love this because it's lavender and it's opaque and it's a smooth application. I just put it on the upper inner eyelid area close to my lashes and it really helps open up the eyes."

"I've been using it since early August because it gets a lot of hype, but I see no difference. The texture feels just like moisturizer and I really don't find that it does anything. To me, this is just a sticky moisturizer."

"Glossier sent me their Boy Brow. Everybody always talks about how great this is, and in my opinion I have been using it for a couple of months now. In my opinion, this is like just some lotion in a tube. I don't get the hype with this."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
