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 travel along the hair shaft and form a lasting layer that remains effective for up to 24 hours.
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.
