Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 36 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers found the product ineffective, reporting no visible change or even increased greying despite prolonged use, often over several months. Reviewers frequently mentioned that the product did not work as advertised to conceal grey hair, leading to significant disappointment. People also widely felt it was an expensive waste of money, given the complete lack of desired results. However, some customers also noted that the product could lead to undesirable hair color changes, such as blue, purple, or pink tinges, rather than achieving a natural look.

No effects, completely useless

You must know: There is NO scientific evidence for caffeine-based agents to show any effect on male-pattern hairloss whatsoever. Alpecin is pure scam. Don't waste your money and your time with this dubious product!

Worked after a fashion on white hair

I am touching 64 years old. My hair is predominantly white.
True,it was slow to take noticeable effect, but using it every two days did give me slightly greyer hair, which for me was what I wanted. My hair had been dark brown along with my eyebrows which still are, so black would have looked odd on mevin a way that grey ISH doesn't.

However, having to wash / dye my hair every two to 4 days is tiresome, so although it worked for me after a fashion, this first bottle will probably be my last.

Expensive junk

My dark hair did indeed get darker.
My gray hair just stayed gray after a whole bottle.
A bottle costs a %$#@$#! €15.
That will give you gray hair. Don't buy it!

A complete scam

A complete scam, do not know how this company is getting away with it, been using for over 2 months now, if anything my greys have got worse, even tried leaving it in for an hour and it changed nothing, all these reviews are correct, this should be taken off the marker and everyone refunded for paying way too much for a product does not work in the slightest, false advertising.

Fancy a purple rinse ?

I don’t leave reviews but feel this is warrantied . Been using for 12 weeks to give the benefit of the doubt . Grey hair goes purple , yes purple , bits of brown hair have gone darker . Followed the instructions to the letter. Please don’t buy , it is a complete scam.

A complete fraud at £14 a bottle

A complete fraud at £14 a bottle. Used four bottles over 6 weeks and grey hair greyer .. it’s disgusting the the likes of Boots and other high street stores are involved in this conspiracy to defraud .. every review on here says the the same. You have been warned. I have written to Boots and want my money back

Alpecin Grey Attack - Not as advertised

I've purchased two bottles, followed the instructions to the letter. The result? My hair is exactly the same colour and is in the same condition as it was before I started, and at nearly £16 a bottle, I'm not impressed at all. I won't be buying anymore.

Another blag from a big company

Another blag from a big company! The bigger the promise the bigger the lie!

When you’re seeing things like this advertised you think if it does a fraction of what it promises you’d be happy- but nothing! Used exactly how was told on the application section and persevered. There was no improvements whatsoever just an uncomfortable burn whenever I applied

Yep, I know people will say look at the reviews but you always hope it’s a whiner from people expecting a miracle. However I can confirm the reviews are wholeheartedly accurate

Alpacin grey attack scam product.

I used Alpacin grey attack and it turned my lovely beard purple. It was for my sons wedding and i felt so embarrassed. I contacted Alpacin direct and they just literally lied about how great the product is. Do not use this product at all. Its a scam. A complete scam. Your better off getting a hair dye than thia expensive fit for the bin rubbish. How can a company literally lie on adverts what this product does when its just the opposite. Save your money and the embarrassment. I should have paid heed to all the customer complaints i read before buying the product. Harsh lesson learned the hard way
