Overall, we think that caffeine is a very versatile and biologically activeВ ingredient. A 2017 study compared a 0.2% caffeine liquid with a 5%В Minoxidil (an FDA approved active to treat baldness) solution and found that ' a caffeine-based topical liquid should be considered as not inferior to minoxidil 5% solution in men with androgenetic alopecia', or English translation means that the caffeine liquid was pretty much as good as the FDA-approvedВ Minoxidil stuff. We have found some recent and promising research to back this up. The theory is that it can inhibitВ the activity of the 5-О±-reductase enzyme that plays an important role in hair lossВ and allows a renewed growth phase of the hair.

But you know, the proof is in the pudding.ДЄnother thing Caffeine is used for in body care products is its anti-cellulite effects. Lauryl PEG-9 Polydimethylsiloxyethyl DimethiconeДЄ well-known thing about Caffeine isВ that it improves the microcirculation of the blood vessels.
