Not to be used by itself, 16 Nov. 2014

This product does not guarantee that you will keep your hair so using it by itself will only work in the early stages of hair loss. I started losing my hair around 7 years ago and I started using Alpecin about 5 years ago and for the first couple of years it was fine just using this and taking some multivitamin each day. However a couple of years ago my hair started to thin pretty badly and so I looked into Propecia which I've now been taking combined with Alpecin and vitamins for 2 years. My hair has not only stopped thinning and falling out but it looks better than it did 5 years ago. Alpecin should be part of a routine but if you think spending £6 every couple of months will keep your hair then you're going to be in for a nasty surprise.

Very good product!, 5 Feb. 2014

I waited to write the review for this product to see whether it worked or not - a month after using it I can say I am seeing results and would definitely recommend.This was a very quick delivery and I will be using this again.

This shampoo gave me a terrible reaction, 22 Nov. 2015

I had an awful reaction to using this shampoo, initially I used this shampoo every day for a week, after a week or so of use I noticed my scalp was sore but didn't think much of it correlate it to the new shampoo. After two weeks of using this shampoo my scalp was covered in scabs and sore to the point of bleeding. When using the shampoo I used it for the recommended two minutes or less, never more. To check it was definitely this shampoo that caused the reaction I stopped using for a further two weeks, and now trying the shampoo again I have the same reaction. I have never suffered from any allergies or skin irritation. I would urge anyone not to use this product as aside from the sore scalp I noticed no difference. You are far better off with a cheaper shampoo, I have gone back to using Loreal for men Body Building shampoo.
