Dr. Barbara Sturm Anti-Hair Fall Scalp Serum
by Dr. Barbara Sturm · hair_care
Editor's Take
Capixyl peptide anchoring at the top, Caffeine and Niacinamide doing the heavy lifting, no silicone slip to hide behind , a serum that actually went to the follicle.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Performance: 7.8 / 10
- Innovative Ingredients: 7.5 / 10
- Clean Standards: 9.0 / 10
- Formula Sustainability: 6.8 / 10
The Verdict
This is a high-performance scalp treatment that earns its strong efficacy score (7.8) and modern technology band (7.5) by concentrating actives where they matter: Caffeine for metabolic stimulation, Capixyl for follicle anchoring, Niacinamide for barrier repair. The aqueous base skips the usual silicone gloss, delivering a high-density active payload directly to the scalp. Clean alignment is excellent (9.0) , only Phenoxyethanol keeps it from COSMOS certification. Worth it if you want a treatment that prioritizes actives over cosmetic feel; the price reflects the peptide system and active concentration, not filler chemistry.
