Regular Member Ashitaka Posted May 11, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted May 11, 2015 Can anybody share there views on Alpecin products. Do they work or are they a con? Hi, Mr6435 I used Alpecin Double Effect Shampoo and Alpecin Liquid lotion for about year and a half and I think that it had probably slowed down my hair loss but, I am still losing my hair significantly. As I also had dandruff problems especially on my crown area, Alpecin Liquid deffiniely has helped me to solve that problem. I think that in first 3-6 months my hair with Alpecin looked better than before and I first was losing about 80-100 hairs every evening when I apply Alpecin Liquid, but after some time it dropped down to 50, even to 20 at some days. But then after a year my hair loss returned to about 70-80 hairs every evening and it is noticable that I have less hair than before. I also noted that the smell (menthol and caffeine) of Alpecin Liquid were more stronger when I first started using it than lately so I started to get suspicious that they are not producting it as they were before. When I started using it my hair also looked more healthy and thick, but after some time it started to get oily and thin. I now don't use Alpecin products anymore, I started using a Ketokonazole based shampoo, and I will start Kirkland Minoxidil soon (probably with Proscar). You can also look into my pictures on this thread to see how my hair looked after 4 months with Alpecin products and how it looks now after more than 20 months (first picture is after 4 months): Please give me right advice - Forum By and for Hair Loss Patients I hope that my reply helps to you.

Regular Member Mr6435 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 12, 2015 Ashitaka thank you so much for you're feedback. I used the products for about 2 years and could not see a difference. Intact I think after I used the liquid my hair got thinner! I will look into you're experience.

Regular Member Fahri Posted May 15, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted May 15, 2018 Thank you for the info, Im on this track now, reading up on Alpecin posts! I see this one is a good few years old. Im trying the liquid caffeine, and also Regaine (uk) - not at the same time of day though, Im unsure how best to use the two. Any advice from folks with experience would be greatly appreciated.
