#50  Alpecin Liquid

Alpecin is one of the fastest growing hair care ranges in Europe.  When it comes to popularity, the C1 shampoo leads the way, but let's take nothing away from Alpecin's Liquid formula.  This product is not a shampoo, but rather a topical serum that is designed to stimulate hair follicles, thus aiding the growth of weakened hair.

When applied, it causes a fresh tingling on the scalp, its active ingredients travel along the hair shaft and form a depot sufficient for up to 24 hours. Alpecin caffeine liquid hair energizer's caffeine based active ingredient formula can help maintain hair production. Engineered by German scientists, Alpecin caffeine liquid hair energizer keeps hair roots active and maintains healthy hair growth. The caffeine-containing active ingredient combination keeps hair roots awake and contributes to extending their growth phases for longer than provided for by hereditary predisposition.

Application:

Apply in the morning and after each hair wash to your towel-dried scalp and massage in. Do not rinse out. Allow to dry briefly, then comb your hair and style as usual.

Ingredients:
Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Parfum, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Panthenol, Menthol, Caffeine, Zinc PCA, Niacinamide, Citric Acid, Limonene, Linalool, Tocopheryl Acetate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citronellol, Retinyl Acetate.

Alpecin Liquid is not a cure for hair loss, and more studies are needed to confirm this product's exact effectiveness.  However, there are strong links to caffeine and its association with hair growth, so Alpecin Liquid makes it onto the Top 50 Hair Loss Treatments list, in at 50.

If you suffer from thinning hair along the scalp, then this topical solution is worth a try.    Available for under £10.
