Isdin Lambdapil Anti-Hair Loss Lotion Spray, 125ml

Isdin Lambdapil Lotion is a leave-on scalp spray for thinning hair, applied daily and not rinsed out. That is the important difference from a shampoo. A shampoo has perhaps two minutes of contact before it goes down the drain, while a leave-on lotion stays on the scalp all day, which is why hair products of this type are usually lotions rather than washes.

Hair loss has many causes, from genetics to thyroid problems, iron deficiency and stress, and they are not all treated the same way. It is worth finding out which applies to you before spending months on any product.

Specs

Benefits

• A leave-on lotion stays in contact with the scalp all day, unlike a shampoo that rinses away in minutes
• A spray applicator reaches the scalp through the hair rather than sitting on top of it
• Hair grows slowly, so anything in this category needs several months of daily use before it can be judged
• Consistency is everything. Occasional use achieves nothing at all
• Isdin sells through pharmacy channels, and our pharmacist can talk through what might suit you

How to Use

• Apply to a dry or towel-dried scalp, parting the hair to reach the skin
• Massage in gently with the fingertips
• Do not rinse out. Style as normal afterwards
• Use daily and continue for several months before assessing
• Avoid contact with the eyes and rinse with water if it occurs
• See a doctor about sudden, patchy or rapid hair loss, which needs investigating rather than treating at home
