Alpecin Double Effect

• Caffeine Shampoo Double Effect loosens scaly, keratinous cells and thoroughly removes dandruff from the scalp.
• From a dermatological standpoint, the combination of the two effective anti-dandruff substances, salicylic acid and octopirox, is recommendable, because it takes into account all dermatologically relevant aspects of cosmetic dandruff:
• Gentle dandruff removal
• Anti-inflammatory action
• Antioxidant effect, i.e. improved resistance
• Antimicrobial properties
• In the past, this combination was exclusively used in pharma products as a dermatologically based anti-dandruff solution. It allows a precise and gentle micro-peeling (micro-exfoliation) and relieves scalp itch.

Suggested Use:

• It should be applied during like a normal shampoo when showering and left on for at least 2 minutes.
• It can be left on for longer, as that will allow for more caffeine to enter the scalp.
• Though this is not recommended for anyone with a sensitivity to caffeine.
