What is Alpecin Shampoo?
Alpecin caffeine shampoo C1 is a hair loss treatment shown to slow down hereditary hair loss. The product uses a complex containing caffeine, zinc and niacin which promote healthy hair follicles.
The active ingredient caffeine complex begins working just 2 minutes after application coating the hair shaft and going directly onto the scalp and hair follicles. The formulation also avoids silicones and other softening conditioners, allowing your hair to have more grip for styling.
How to use Alpecin Shampoo
For optimal hair care, wash your hair daily with Alpecin shampoo. Leave on the scalp for 2 minutes from application to rinsing out. You may leave the shampoo on for longer to improve absorption of the shampoo into the scalp although this may cause a slight temporary redness.
Ensure like with most shampoos, you avoid contact with the eyes.
With daily use, Alpecin shampoo is detectable in hairs for a long time after application.
It is recommended to use most hair loss treatments for a minimum of 3 months as noticeable results may take this long to develop.
