I had severe dandruff and used that shampoo, but later I found that using the shampoo from the pharmacy, Nizoral, was the most effective.
If you have severe dandruff, I recommend using the pharmacy shampoo along with it! The pharmacy shampoo should only be used two to three times a week.

As soothing as the sensation felt, if it accidentally gets in your eyes, it's very, very irritating. The price is a bit disappointing considering the volume. While I was focused on the dandruff, I felt like my hair texture became a bit dull.

I suddenly had a lot of dandruff, so I bought a seemingly effective shampoo in a state of fear. I've tried various shampoos, but this one showed the most immediate dandruff reduction effect. From the moment I used it, I felt a sense of trust that the soothing sensation would help remove the dandruff, and the dandruff did indeed disappear quickly, making this the best shampoo I've used.

No, no, this is truly the shampoo of my life!

I found the light with this shampoo. It's really amazing. Especially those with oily scalps should definitely use this shampoo!!!
As an oily-scalped person myself, my scalp gets extremely oily and I get a lot of dandruff just a day after, but even on the second day, my hair still feels light and fluffy! Even though my scalp gets oily, there's no itchiness or dandruff. I can really feel how light my hair is, and it's changed my quality of life. I'll be using this shampoo for the rest of my life!!!

If you have severe seborrheic dermatitis, scalp flakes, or dandruff, be sure to give this a try.

The ingredients aren't the best, but for some reason, this shampoo is incredibly effective for seborrheic dermatitis, so I ended up using it despite the mediocre ingredients.

I used to have seborrheic dermatitis, with my scalp always feeling hot and having some kind of rash. Even the natural shampoos and cooling shampoos I tried didn't seem to improve the condition, but after using this shampoo for just 3 days, my seborrheic dermatitis completely disappeared...

If you think about delivery food, you'll realize this lasts more than a month! It's not expensive at all!!!! Slurp ㅠㅠ

The lack of a distinct scent. The small volume.
Considering the price, I hope they offer a larger size.

I immediately felt (after using it twice in 2 consecutive days) that my hair gained strength.
My boyfriend and I both have hair loss issues, so we pay a lot of attention to shampoo. At this price (if the effects continue), I think it's not at all expensive compared to delivery food.
However, I like cooling shampoos, so I'm going to try a different version. I'm planning to switch from the green tea shampoo I've been using.

The small amount for the price and the small amount of water used, as well as the lack of lather when used, were disappointing.

The cleansing power was not bad. It felt well-cleaned and there was a refreshing feeling afterwards.

My hair has become stiff? But since I got used to not using conditioner, it's been fine.

My hair loss has disappeared.
I only used shampoo.

The only downside is the price. It would have been better if the size was 250-300ml instead of 200ml. For people with slightly less hair volume than average, based on chest-length hair, this 200ml size will likely last about a month if washed almost daily. For those with longer hair and more volume, it will probably last less than a month. At 15,000 won per month, it's not an inexpensive price - that's around 180,000 won per year just for the shampoo. While salon costs are understandable, haircare products shouldn't just be limited to shampoo. However, since there aren't many alternatives that I'm satisfied with, I'll likely continue purchasing this, either finding a better deal elsewhere or just accepting the current price for now.

This is the first shampoo that doesn't cause pimples on my scalp. I've been buying and using mild shampoos with good ingredients, but I've always had those pimple-like bumps on my scalp. But I happened to buy this during an Olive Young sale, and it's been great. The lather is not overly dense, but it lathers up nicely and softly. The cleansing power is good, so my hair has volume and rinses out cleanly, leaving a refreshed feeling. Normally I have to shampoo twice - once for the whole head and once more focused on the nape and upper ear area. But with this, one shampoo is almost enough. It turns out there are anti-dandruff ingredients in it, so even though the cleansing is effective, it doesn't dry out my scalp. That's why I don't feel the need to switch to a different Alpessine line and I'll likely keep repurchasing this Double Effect shampoo. The scent doesn't linger for too long, but it's not unpleasant like a men's skin care scent. It actually helps mask any scalp odor. I've tried various anti-hair loss shampoos before, but compared to those, I see way fewer hairs in the drain after washing. I'm not sure about the hair growth effect, but at least my hair isn't falling out as much, which is psychologically satisfying.

The 2-minute waiting time is a bit boring. After shampooing, my hair feels a bit tight. Other than that, it's good.

After shampooing, I feel like my hair is shedding less. Less than 10 ^^

For women, there is a separate women's line called Plantur, which is a caffeine shampoo. There are two options, Plantur 21 and Plantur 39, so choose the one that suits your age.^^

It appears to have slightly more of the undesirable ingredients compared to other hair loss shampoos.

This hair loss shampoo is considered to be on the higher end in terms of cleansing power. Caffeine seems to help with hair loss.

However, it does not seem to be very effective in soothing the skin and relieving itchiness.

The cleansing power is great!! The cleansing power was definitely effective for my scalp, which is prone to seborrheic dermatitis and constant breakouts.

You need to leave it on for at least 5 minutes to see the effects

It's not easy to find a place to purchase. Only available through overseas direct purchase 😢
The lather doesn't form well, so you have to use more of it compared to other shampoos to get a good lather.
The amount is not much, so you can't use it for a long time.

The scent of a man lingers.
It has excellent cleansing power, and after rinsing, it leaves a very refreshing feeling.
After using it for several months, my hair hasn't gotten thicker, but at least it doesn't seem to be thinning out anymore.
Once you start using it, you can't use anything else...

The price is a bit high.
The lack of abundant lather is a downside.

My hair definitely feels stronger.
The fragrance is not overpowering.
