Prokeratin feedback wanted [Beitrag #136426] :: Mo., 22 September 2008 02:36

Hello guys and gals. First of all..thanks for this English section for us English only folks. I came across this product line and was quite impressed with it's naturalness. The minoxidil one confused me though. Anyway, I saw on the website that those involved with this and another site are responsible for bringing the Prokeratin product line to fruition, so I thought this would be a great place to get some feedback.

So...how is the stuff? Even if you don't have a hair-growing story, how do they leave your hair? I was actually searching for styling aids with hair-promoting ingredients when I came across Prokeratin..so am interested in feedback on that as well(the serum, I think).

Also, am I correct in saying these products are more for "inhibiting" rather than growth promotion? I realize "inhibiting" can create growth, but ingredients such as procyanidins are actually growth promoters. I honestly haven't looked into all the ingredients yet.

Thanks Wink

jacob i think it´s not the language barrier, it´s the fact that nobody here uses this product.

And I'm surprised it hasn't at least been discussed here. You would think there'd even be a big announcement(maybe there has been)..unless I got it wrong that the folks running this site are involved with the company/product line.

They even have a test thing going..supposedly you get the products at half off: http://www.hairclinics.com/en/prokeratest.html

Thanks guys Cool

By the way..I'm surprised there isn't a keratin type ingredient in the products(maybe I missed it), like Keratec: http://www.keratec.co.nz/index.cfm/0,130,0,0,html

Hi Jacob,
I am familiar with this line. I took part in their clinical trials in 2007. The reason you don't find pretty much anything here about Prokeratin is because the line is designed for the States and little or nothing is released in Europe.
What I can tell you, from my personal experience is that the things that I tried worked fine for me. I was accepted because I have no baldness (yet) but I loosing hair at an incredible rate, every day that I got desperate and I started searching for some available clinical trials and some answers.
Eventually I got a tip from a friend from Stanford Univ. about this product and I jumped right into it.
Long story short, I had to try their Prokeratin shampoo (has nothing to do with the keratin protein, it’s just a name), their serum called Sercomplex and an oily stuff, pretty gross, which I can’t tell you exactly what it was but it did wonders with me and some white, tasteless powder that I had to take every night before going to bed, with some warm water.
I don’t want to advertise for anybody, not for free at least , but that stuff reduced my hair loss count (hair strands that you lose every day) from about 240 to just 40 a day.
That’s a result you can call just Great!
I remained in their data base and, as special reward, if I may say so, all ex-trial subjects get a 30% off discount for their orders, if they want to buy their products in the future.
It’s not half the price, like I saw in the forum. But to do that you need a special personal code that you get when you register, otherwise it’s not working.
Some friends of mine, with a horrible skin condition and flaky head skin bought and bought a combination of Prokeratin shampoo against hair loss and sercomplex for a month or so and the results were very nice. All was gone like nothing happened.
One thing is for sure, these products are not designed to help your hair grow longer or thicker or whatever. They are designed for hair loss and I admire the producers about this fact because they are honest about the scope and they don’t use those loud, fake commercials “your hair back in one day, get hair like tine tuner” and stuff like this…
So, as long as you’re looking for a nice product to help you control hair loss, I recommend it.
Regarding the minoxidil version of the product, I heard from that woman which was part of the evaluation team, that they were experimenting a combination of dht inhibitor together with minoxidil but they couldn’t make it be stable long enough and by now, probably, that version is dead. Many specific details I can’t give you since the whole stuff is pretty hush-hush. Like I said, I’m no NW x case or so, yet at least, I just had issues with my hair loss and I do not want to endorse anything but the stuff they gave me worked superbly. If it ain’t working for you, don’t blame it on me  Greetz, , Danny M.

But how can that be..you can order from the website/company which is not based in the USA. And there aren't a whole lot of places selling it- probably just as many UK ones. And the company seems to be from the same guys who run this forum and another site Frage

On the Keratin..yeah, that's why I mentioned the Keratec product. With a name like Prokeratin..you might as well have some real keratin in there.

Thanks for the feedback. It may be something I try in the future. It's still strange that they were even looking at minoxidil, since they claim to be so natural. There are plenty of natural things one could use in it's place. Procyanidins have been called natural minoxidil by many. Some study(ies) seem to indicate they work even better than minoxidil. Don't tell the FDA that though Uh Oh

Ok..kind of got some clarification from the company. This place/forum is not associated with the product, except for the advertising of it etc.

So that makes more sense Smug

Aw: Prokeratin feedback wanted [Beitrag #238664 ist eine Antwort auf Beitrag #136426] :: Mi., 15 August 2012 20:44

Hello Jacob
The brand Prokeratin was acquired in 2010 from Hairclincs by L'Óreal SA.
The original product line is since being developed and marketed in US, Asia and Europe under the name of Kératene, mainly in hair transplant clinics.
If you are interested we can offer you a list with the locations you can approach for a personal evaluation.
Kind regards
