Product Information

Caffeine-based shampoos have become quite popular recently over the long-held belief that they can help stimulate hair growth, strengthen fine and weakened hair, and prevent further thinning. For this reason, the UK Advertising Standards Authority ruled that Alpecin could not advertise products as reducing hair loss. They came under scrutiny for only using male patients in studies who suffered from androgenic alopecia and for using unorthodox measuring practices. Some studies also did not have control groups for comparison. The central ingredient in Alpecin shampoo is caffeine. Studies show that caffeine can stimulate hair follicles and promote new hair growth in people suffering from hair loss and male pattern baldness (androgenic alopecia). Are you embracing grey hair? And want to maintain it, all the while combating baldness? This Power Grey combination is tailor-made to enhance naturally older hair while protecting it.

Some products contain both selenium sulfide and zinc pyrithione.It can be a little harsher than zinc pyrithione, though, so it's best to start slow by using the product only a couple of times per week at first (then building up from there), keeping an eye out for skin irritation.
