Doping for your hair

Thanks to a special pharmaceutical carrier base (galenic formulation), the unique Caffeine Complex reaches the hair follicle in just 2 minutes. There, it exerts its positive effect:

Hereditary hair loss can be counteracted.

Caffeine has been known for more than 20 years for its growth-stimulating effect on hair roots. It inhibits the breakdown of the intracellular messenger cAMP. As a result, more energy is available to the cells and cell growth is stimulated. Caffeine is therefore the most researched active ingredient of plant origin against hereditary hair loss.

  • Zinc and niacinamide: Zinc and niacinamide promote energy metabolism and can ensure better nutrient supply to the hair roots.
  • Panthenol: Pro-vitamin B5 or dexpanthenol increases skin moisture and thereby strengthens the skin barrier. It reduces itching and feelings of dryness.
  • Allantoin: Allantoin has multiple effects on the skin and scalp. In addition to its skin-soothing properties, it has a keratolytic effect, meaning it can remove the outermost skin flakes. Allantoin also increases skin moisture.

ApplicationThis is the only way to achieve the best result

  • Apply daily

    Itchy scalp – What’s behind it

    Why a shampoo for sensitive or dry scalp is often the right choice for an itchy scalp.

  • A red arrow pierces through an area of hexagons, representing the skin barrier. The graphic illustrates the transepidermal water loss due to the disrupted lipid film in dry scalp.

    Disrupted skin barrier

    An itchy scalp is often caused by sensitive or dry skin. When the skin barrier is disrupted, it becomes more permeable, leading to unpleasant itching.

  • Image shows a man's shoulder in a blue suit, covered with many small white flakes that have fallen from his hair.

    Additional symptoms

    In addition to itching, a sensitive or dry scalp may also experience:

    • Tightness
    • Redness
    • Small white flakes (dry dandruff)
  • A grey bottle of Alpecin pH Sensitive Shampoo S1 stands on a grey surface, supporting the claim that a mild, moisturising shampoo can help with itching caused by a sensitive scalp.

    Reduce scalp itching

    • A mild shampoo supports scalp regeneration
    • Nourishing ingredients, such as allantoin and panthenol, provide moisture and soothe the skin
