Alpecin: Doping for your hair
We are the expert against hair loss - made for men
Alpecin stands for measurable performance. Our unique caffeine-based formulas are developed to reach the hair follicle within 2 minutes during washing. Once absorbed, the Caffeine remains detectable for up to 24 hours, where it supports hair root activity and helps counteract hereditary hair loss.
Targeted stimulation where it matters most - so effective, it almost feels like it shouldn’t be allowed. That’s what we mean by doping for your hair.
