This hair loss treatment product was originally intended to treat psoriasis, but users began to see benefits for hair stimulation and re-growth. This only happens in very few people but there are some benefits to those who it works for. In small numbers of people it was found to be very beneficial to those who suffered from alopecia. This condition is where you find patchy baldness which can be very hard to treat and disguise.

As this product was not originally intended for hair loss treatments and is more for the treatment of the skin you will find that it is not ideal for the majority of users.

You can only leave this on for a certain amount of time as it is more of a skin irritant, this is the way that this product works as it is made of mainly chemicals and not any natural ingredients. You must be very careful when applying this as it will sustain anything it touches and also cause irritation to any other part of the body.

The manufacturer

Anthralin is mainly a treatment made for people with psoriasis it is made are a chemical that imitates chrysarobin. This is a fully synthetic drug and only has a shelf life of six months; it can be very irritating to the skin and must be used carefully.

Why it works well

One of the benefits of using Anthralin is that it can be put on specific patches of skin and then left to work. As it irritates the skin this actually stimulates the hair follicles and causes them to germinate again.

You must be aware that only a small proportion of people actually find this works. So if you are someone who has already tried a range of products and had no success then this could be something that would work for you.

Our verdict

What we think is that this is a product that is mainly a last resort. Basically if you have tried a lot of other products and found that nothing else is working and you want to give something a little stronger then trying Anthralin could be the answer to your problems.

Sometimes using all natural products isn’t enough and a synthetic one should be used as a replacement. But be aware that this is a very strong chemical and it does irritate the skin so you must follow the directions and guidelines that are given to you in the instruction packet.
