            • 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.
            • Sugar Surfactants: Sugar surfactants are mild, cleansing agents that provide gentle cleaning performance. They are particularly suitable for dry and sensitive scalp.

              Itchy scalp – What’s behind it

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

              Reduce scalp itching

            The Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo combines a particularly gentle and moisturising cleansing of the scalp and hair with the powerful effect of Alpecin Caffeine for the hair roots. It has been specially developed for dry and sensitive scalps. Thanks to its moisturising effect, Alpecin Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo is particularly suitable for dry scalps that are prone to small, fine flakes. Scalp itching is reduced.

            The Caffeine complex also strengthen the hair roots.

            More than one in four men experiences a sensitive scalp. Symptoms such as itching, dryness, redness, or a feeling of tightness can occur, depending on individual predisposition. These issues are often linked to dry, sensitive scalps, which may result from underproduction of the sebaceous glands, disrupting the scalp's natural balance.

            In such cases, it is crucial to use a shampoo that does not further dry out the scalp. Alpecin Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo gently cleanses the hair while moisturising and soothing the scalp. It helps reduce scalp itching and, thanks to its Caffeine complex, strengthens the hair roots.

            Many people don’t realise that not all dandruff is the same. To effectively cleanse the scalp and hair and address the issue, it’s important to distinguish between 'dry dandruff' and 'oily dandruff.'

            Dry Dandruff
            Dry dandruff occurs when the scalp produces too little sebum, causing it to lose its natural balance. This results in small, fine flakes and often an itchy scalp. In such cases, the scalp is dry and flaky.

            For a dry scalp, gentle and moisturising cleansing is recommended. Alpecin Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo is particularly suitable, thanks to its gentle formulation. It moisturises the scalp and promotes its regeneration.

            Oily Dandruff
            Oily dandruff tends to be larger, plaque-like flakes and is associated with an oily scalp. For this type of dandruff, Alpecin Double-Effect Caffeine Shampoo is ideal. In the first step, it dissolves encrusted horny cells and thoroughly removes dandruff from the scalp. The effective anti-dandruff ingredients, salicylic acid and piroctone olamine, prevent the formation of new dandruff. In the second step, the Caffeine complex penetrates the hair roots to strengthen the hair.

            Dry dandruff is caused by a dry scalp. These small, fine flakes appear when the scalp produces insufficient sebum, disrupting its natural balance. This leads to a dry, flaky scalp, often accompanied by itching.

            For a dry scalp, gentle and moisturizing cleansing is recommended. Alpecin Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo is particularly effective due to its gentle formulation. It moisturizes the scalp and supports its regeneration.

            The two shampoos are designed to address different scalp conditions. When choosing a shampoo for dandruff, it’s important to understand that not all dandruff is the same. Differentiating between 'oily dandruff' and 'dry dandruff' is key to selecting the right product for cleansing your hair and scalp.

            Alpecin Double-Effect Caffeine Shampoo
            This shampoo is formulated for oily dandruff, which consists of larger, plaque-like flakes caused by a greasy scalp. In the first step, Alpecin Double-Effect Caffeine Shampoo loosens crusted cells from the horny layer and thoroughly removes dandruff from the scalp. The effective anti-dandruff ingredients, salicylic acid and piroctone olamine, help prevent the formation of new dandruff. In the second step, the Caffeine complex penetrates the hair roots to strengthen the hair.

            Alpecin Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo
            This shampoo is ideal for a dry scalp prone to 'dry dandruff,' which manifests as small, fine flakes often accompanied by itching. The gentle formula of Alpecin Hybrid Sensitive Caffeine Shampoo moisturises the dry, weakened scalp and supports its regeneration, effectively preventing dry dandruff and relieving itchiness. At the same time, the Caffeine complex energizes the hair roots and promotes stronger hair.
