I'm wondering if anyone has tried I-Soft shampoo for hair loss? It has both ammonium lactate and salicylic acid. I'm curious about the effect of the lactate in particular due to recent threads regarding its involvement in hair loss.
I've used 12% ammonium lactate lotion for years to great effect to treat my keratosis pilaris, which affects my shoulders/back/chest. This condition causes your body produces excess keratin, blocking follicles and causing reddish dots all over as hairs are unable to push through the follicle to the surface due to the waxy layer. When I use the lotion, my skin clears within a few days. I've long wondered if this condition is also responsible for my scalp hair loss, since they began at the same time (age 15-16) and my pattern of loss is very unusual (recession in normal male pattern baldness fashion, but diffuse thinning all over, huge vertex thinning, and retrograde alopecia on the sides and nape of the neck).
So has anyone tried this shampoo for hair loss, and if so what were the results? Also, any ideas on how to purchase it (or any sort of ammonium lactate based shampoo) in the US? Seems to only be available in the UK. Thanks for any feedback.
