What is Alpecin Double Effect Caffeine Shampoo and what is it used for?

Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo is a specialised product designed to tackle both dandruff and hair loss. It helps cleanse the scalp of dandruff while promoting healthier hair growth.

 

What’s inside it?

The shampoo contains two key ingredients: salicylic acid and piroctone olamine, which work together to combat dandruff by targeting the root causes. Additionally, caffeine is included to stimulate hair growth and strengthen the hair. The formula also includes niacin (vitamin B3) and zinc to nourish and maintain healthy hair roots.

 

How does it help?

The caffeine in the shampoo works by removing dead skin and dandruff from the scalp. Once the scalp is free from flakes, the caffeine stimulates the hair roots to promote better hair growth and increase strength.

 

How should I use it?

Apply the shampoo directly to your scalp, massaging it in gently. Leave it on for about 2 minutes to allow the active ingredients to work, then rinse thoroughly with water.

 

Are there any bad effects?

Some users may experience mild scalp irritation, such as redness or a warm sensation.

 

Do I need a doctor’s note to buy it?

No, Alpecin Double Effect Caffeine Shampoo is available over the counter, and you can find it at most pharmacies and some supermarkets without a prescription.

 

How is it different from Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo C1?

While both shampoos contain caffeine, Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo offers additional benefits. It specifically targets dandruff and removes dead skin from the scalp before helping to stimulate hair growth.

 

Can I use it with Regaine or Finasteride?

Yes, Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo can be used alongside Regaine (Minoxidil) and Finasteride as they work through different mechanisms. If you’re using Minoxidil, be sure to leave it in your hair for at least 15 minutes before washing with Alpecin.
