## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this shampoo vegan? i.e. animal cruelty free, doesn't have animal products?**
A: Hi
After seeing your question I emailed the company about Animal testing and receaved this reply.
Statement on animal testing
Dear Sir/Madam,
Tests on animals have and never will be performed by Dr. Kurt Wolff GmbH & Co. KG!
According to the European legislation1 for cosmetics and cosmetic raw materials, tests on animals are prohibited. Even prior to this ban, we did not perform tests on animals when developing our products. We test our products on volunteers in clinical tests and in dermatological institutes. Furthermore, we comply with the statutory requirements of the cosmetics ordinance on the prohibition of animal testing when selecting new raw materials.
A blanket statement as regards non-animal-tested ingredients cannot be made since numerous proven raw materials which have been in use now for several decades were tested on animals in the past, not least since these raw ingredients are also used in other products such as pharmaceuticals.
Yours sincerely,
Julia Lettmann Regulatory Manager

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good
*by Z***D on 30 June 2025*

Very good for regrowing your hair

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best!
*by J***5 on 7 February 2024*

Simply the best shampoo I have used so far. Better than Head &Shoulders which I have always used. Does not dry out your scalp and leaves your hair very manageable . I still have a full head of hair as a 70 year old male although a bit silvery now lol.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It Works For Me !
*by M***M on 23 May 2016*

I have been purchasing Alpecin Caffeine Shampoo 250 ml size for a while now, and found it cheaper here on Amazonthan buying it in my local pharmacy, so I thought it time to sing its praises. As an older male, I find that it keeps mygrey hair in good condition, it certainly helps with itchy scalp which can be caused by age related skin conditions ormedications, and keeps me free from dandruff.I have short hair and find that using it every other day it gives a slight thickening to my thinning hair.Whether it does live up to the TV adverts which indicate that it can prevent hair loss, I cannot say, but it does keepmy hair looking clean and fresh. I do as the instructions on the bottle suggest and leave it on my hair for the requiredtwo minutes, and feel good after using it.One interesting point of information that is printed on the bottle is that for Competing Athletes," Alpecin Caffeine can bedetected in the hair follicles"!Unfortunately it seems that all of the reviews for Alpecin are being lumped together under the one heading for AlpecinDouble Effect, which I have not tried. It would make more sense if they were listed separately thus allowing prospectivecustomers some idea of the different varieties of the product.
