What the gurus are saying

This shampoo delivers visible volume and fullness within days, though the effect fades once you stop using it. Dermatologists praise its gentle formula and well-studied ingredients like caffeine and acetyl tetrapeptide-3 that may help with hair loss and shedding, making it a solid option if you're treating androgenetic alopecia or want a thickening boost. At $34.95 for 8 ounces it costs more than basic shampoos, but experts who have reviewed it say the ingredient list and results justify the price.

"In terms of price, accessibility, and the very comprehensive ingredient list, I think this is one of the best hair loss shampoos you can get right now. It has caffeine, acetyl tetrapeptide-3, a growth factor complex, red clover extract, and a bunch of ingredients that have actually been fairly well studied when it comes to improving follicle metabolism, doing a little bit of DHT blocking, and also anchoring the hair in the follicle so that it doesn't want to shed as readily."

"Weird" Things I Do for My Skin + Body That Make a HUGE Difference | Dr. Sam Ellis

"Now that I'm also treating hair loss, because I have androgenetic or female pattern hair loss, I actually use a hair loss shampoo as my second shampooing step. I really like my Maelove full follicle shampoo and often go in with it as my second cleansing step."

"I had been using a shampoo before that was not good, and within a matter of a couple of days of using their new line, I had a significant improvement in the overall cosmetic appearance of my hair. It looked fuller, and that fullness was maintained throughout the time I used the products. It seemed to give me a little more volume at the crown, just kind of lifting the hair up a bit. Although once I finished the line and stopped using the products, my hair went back to the way it was."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
