No, the caffeine in coffee cannot penetrate the scalp or reach the hair follicles. A specialized carrier base (galenic formulation) is required to deliver the active ingredients to the areas where they can be effective.

The specially developed galenic formulation in Alpecin products by Dr. Wolff Research ensures that caffeine is transported to the hair follicles, where it has been proven to stimulate the hair roots.

The Caffeine complex is made up of Caffeine, zinc, and niacin:

  • Caffeine strengthens the hair roots, energises them, and promotes healthy hair growth.
  • Niacin and zinc support energy metabolism and enhance the nutrient supply to the hair roots.

For stronger, fuller-looking, and healthier-looking hair, daily application of the Caffeine complex is essential to nourish the hair roots effectively.
