A bushy and manly beard is one of those things that a lot of men dream of, and of course as that is a problem for some, we've seen the rise of beard growth oils, now the question of course is do any of them work? The answer is that yes there is some truth to it, possibly not quite as much as some of the manufacturers would lead you to believe, and from our testing it seems to work for a little over half of men, but a couple of our top picks have money back guarantees (which we've verified) so if it doesn't work for you ultimately there's no loss. There's a couple of pretty simple ways in which they work, conditioning the beard, meaning the beard hair you have looks thicker, looking after the skin under your beard (which yes does effect growth), increasing blood flow to the region, and then there's some question around certain ingredients and how they effect hormone behaviour at the follicle. Now, there's a bit of science around this, but in general it revolves around DHT and there are a few plant extracts that can effect that, but they do need to be standardized for these ingredients if they're going to help your beard grow.

So let's get into a bit more detail of how they work and what you should be looking for.
