Expert in hereditary hair loss
Innovative active ingredients and clinically proven effectiveness
Specifically developed for men and their needs
There are many reasons and causes for hair loss. However, in 80 % of men, hereditary hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is the cause – the thinning hair is largely genetically determined.
When facing hair loss, many people are challenged with choosing between caffeine shampoo, home remedies, laser therapy, or other alternatives – what's the best option? Let's clear things up:
I have hereditary hair loss. Should I use Alpecin Caffeine Liquid or Caffeine Shampoo C1 - or both?
For even more intensive care, it makes sense to use both products. The additional use of Alpecin Caffeine Liquid is highly recommended, especially for people who do not wash their hair every day. When applied, the liquid leaves a fresh tingling sensation on the scalp; its active ingredients run along the hair shaft and form an active ingredient depot that lasts for up to 24 hours.
Caffeine against hair loss: What does the complex consist of?
The Caffeine complex consists of Caffeine, zinc and niacin. Caffeine stimulates the hair roots, prolongs the growth phase, and improves hair growth. Niacin and zinc are important growth factors for healthy hair roots.
The combination of active ingredients containing Caffeine cancels out the inherited and undesirable effect of testosterone – the growth phases are extended to their natural length again and continued hair growth well into old age becomes possible.
