Review: Worth a Punt Guys! - As a fellow balding male I thought I'd take the time to post my experience of this product. I've been steadily losing hair from my crown for about 2 years. I don’t yet have a bald spot but a palm sized section of my crown has thinned dramatically. I'm not over conscious of it but won't pretend I'm entirely comfortable either. I gave C1 a whirl because it is affordable and figured I have to buy shampoo anyway right? In the month and a half I have been using it I'm less aware of my balding and feel great to be doing something about it. I took pictures of my thinning at the start and I'm chuffed to say the appearance has clearly changed for the better. My girlfriend, who arguably has the best view of my head, has commented on the improvement. I don’t believe C1 will restore my hair but for the cost I'm very happy with the results. If it holds back the inevitable a bit longer thats OK with me. Good luck to those who try this as it's probably different for each of us but I'd say it's worth a punt.
Review: Thicker, fuller hair - Excellent product, didn't tell my family that I'd ordered it and decanted it into my usual shampoo bottle to hide it. After about 2 weeks my wife asks "have you done something to your hair? It looks different, alot thicker and denser, not so fine and flyaway". All the confirmation I needed and have now ordered my second bottle after a month's worth of daily use. Don't use so much as "regular" shampoo, massage in well and leave for 2 minutes before rinsing. Don't expect miracle cures and for new hair to start growing but do expect thickness and fullness to your existing hair. Brilliant.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does the bottle say ‘coffeine’ rather than caffeine? Is this a clue that it’s not genuine?**
A: Coffein is German for caffein.  Lots of the writing on the bottle is also German. This is a product produced for German market. Still the same as alpecin you buy here just with different writing on bottle.

**Q: Is this product only for men or is that a marketing ploy and is it okay for sensitive skin??**
A: Hi, Alpecin products are specially created for men. We also have a shampoo for sensitive skin. Just look up "Alpecin Hybrid", which is specially formulated for sensitive scalps. Thank you.

**Q: Is this product also be effective for women**
A: Yes, it can be used on women as well

**Q: can women use it**
A: I believe so . I have used it with no problem . I don't think there is any advice to the contrary.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ What would have happened if I had not complained about the shortage.
*by D***4 on 29 April 2026*

Unfortunately only one of the shampoos turn up in the post. The company however did after giving them a detailed email, give me a refund of half the cost. Thank the Alpecin Store for their almost prompt action.
