Alpecin Double Effect Product Information
Alpecin Double Effect Caffeine Shampoo is a dual-action treatment designed to both remove dandruff and help reduce hair loss. It contains salicylic acid and piroctone olamine, which work together to gently exfoliate the scalp and control microbial growth that contributes to dandruff.
It also contains a Caffeine Complex with caffeine, niacin, and zinc, which penetrates the hair roots to support hair strength and growth. This combined mechanism promotes a healthier scalp environment and helps to maintain stronger, fuller-looking hair.
Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo is an anti-dandruff shampoo that also helps to slow the rate of hair loss.
It combines dandruff-removing ingredients with Caffeine Complex to provide two benefits in a single treatment.
Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo contains two anti-dandruff ingredients, salicylic acid and piroctone olamine.
These ingredients have antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and help to gently remove dandruff from the scalp.
It also contains a Caffeine Complex - a formula containing caffeine, niacin (vitamin B3) and zinc. This stimulates and strengthens the hair roots and helps to prolong the hair growth phase.
The caffeine in Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo helps loosen scaly, keratinous cells and removes dandruff from the scalp.
Once the dandruff is cleared, the caffeine in the shampoo penetrates the hair follicles to promote hair growth and strengthen the hair from its roots. This combination creates the ‘double effect’ of the shampoo’s action.
Massage the shampoo into your scalp and leave it in for 2 minutes before rinsing with water. This helps the scalp to absorb the active ingredients.
Aim to use Alpecin Double Effect every day for the best results.
Possible side effects can include redness and burning of the scalp. If you experience severe or prolonged irritation from using Alpecin Double Effect, speak to your doctor or GP.
