UltrActive Hair Review

UltrActive Hair is a hair regrowth treatment that promises to be a 100% safe and effective way to end premature hair loss. Here’s our review of this popular new treatment.

What is UltrActive Hair?

UltrActive Hair is a hair loss treatment that contains minoxidil.

The treatment claims to provide a number of exciting benefits, including the ability to instantly stop thinning hair, grow fuller hair, look 10 years younger, and end premature hair loss.

Best of all, UltrActive Hair claims to be 100% safe and effective – which means it will work on 100% of all users who take it (at least, that’s what the manufacturer says).

The hair loss treatment uses minoxidil mixed with a range of botanical extracts. Together, these ingredients purportedly stimulate old hair follicles to star growing hair again.

Priced at $160 USD, UltrActive Hair is one of the priciest topical hair loss sprays you’ll find on the market. Let’s find out if it’s worth the high price by checking out how UltrActive works.

How Does UltrActive Hair Work?

The formula comes in the form of a small spray. You apply that spray directly onto your scalp when it’s dry. Then, the treatment will go to work and restore your hair.

Some of the key ingredients in the formula include water hyacinth, oleander, reed extract, ginseng extract, Chinese Angelica extract, and polygonum multiflorum extract. These botanical extracts are mixed with minoxidil to restore your hair.

Minoxidil is the only FDA-approved topical treatment for hair loss. In numerous studies, it has demonstrated its ability to halt hair loss in its tracks.

However, minoxidil comes with a few problems. First, it only works on about 40% of all people. Second, it’s only a temporary solution that will last for about 2 years before your body grows accustomed to the chemical. And thirdly, the solution works best when targeting hair loss on the crown of your head – it doesn’t work as well when you’re targeting a receding hair line or other problems.

There’s also another problem: minoxidil treatments either come in concentrations of 2% or 5%, and the 5% concentration is the more desirable solution for those who really want to combat hair loss. UltrActive Hair doesn’t list its concentration, so we’re led to assume that it has a 2% concentration (or even less).

UltrActive Hair Ingredients

UltrActive Hair claims to contain all of the following ingredients:

— Minoxidil
— Water Hyacinth
— Oleander
— Reed Extract
— Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) Extract
— Chinese Angelica (Angelica Polymorpha Sinensis) Extract
— Polygonum Multiflorum Extract

Together, these ingredients claim to stop DHT, which is the hormone linked to hair loss. It’s unclear how they stop DHT or what their effects may be, as the manufacturer never actually explains it.

We took a closer look at the ingredients and were disappointed by what we found.

Ginseng, for example, has never been shown to inhibit hair loss in men or women. Oleander is actually a poisonous plant in certain doses but is sometimes applied topically to treat skin problems. However, it has never been linked to stopping hair loss.

Water hyacinth is a type of flower found in Brazil. When you try to look up evidence online for whether or not it can treat hair loss, all you get is results about UltrActive: so UltrActive appears to be the only formula that uses water hyacinth for this purpose.

Ultimately, the only ingredient in UltrActive that has any type of evidence reinforcing its use is minoxidil. And we don’t even know the concentration of that formula. That’s not good.

Scientific Evidence for UltrActive Hair

The creators of UltrActive Hair claim that their formula has been extensively studied. They say things like:

“Over and over, our scientists have confirmed that our proprietary formula contains the best mix of ingredients to counteract and in many instances stop the DHT problem.”

Unfortunately, that’s where the good times stop for UltrActive Hair. The manufacturer hasn’t released the details of any of these studies. We don’t know where the studies were published, what kind of people were involved in the studies, or even whether or not these studies took place.

In any case, we know minoxidil works as advertised for many men and women. But the botanicals and other ingredients in UltrActive Hair show little evidence that they work as promised. And the UltrActive Hair formula as a whole does not appear to have ever been studied by a third party organization.

UltrActive Hair Pricing

Minoxidil is a popular hair loss treatment that typically comes in the form of Rogaine, which you can buy from any supermarket. Walmart sells a monthly supply of Rogaine for about $40 to $50, and that formula contains 5% minoxidil.

UltrActive appears to contain 2% or less minoxidil. So you would think it would be priced significantly cheaper than Rogaine and other similar treatments.

That’s not the case with UltrActive, which is priced higher than pretty much any hair loss treatment on the market today. Here’s how pricing breaks down:

— 1 Bottle (30 Day Supply): $159.99 USD

Depending on your location, you’ll see different prices for UltrActive in your local currency. It’s priced at €159.99 in Europe, for example, $219.99 in Australia, $219.99 in Canada, £143.99 in the UK, and $249.99 in New Zealand.

The website also features various promotional deals, like where you can get 3 or 5 bottle packages at a discount rate.

There’s also a “risk-free trial” that lasts for 10 days. That trial charges you shipping today, although you’ll be charged the full $159.99 USD price 20 days from now, and you will continue to be charged that price every month until you cancel (the manufacturer automatically ships repeated orders of the hair loss treatment to you every month).

Canceling that program is deliberately difficult: you need to email the company at [email protected] and request that they cancel your subscription. Based on customer reviews for UltrActive Hair that you read online, customers have had enormous trouble canceling their packages and getting any type of refund.

If you’re thinking of getting a refund on UltrActive Hair, then think again: the manufacturer only accepts refunds if your product is damaged or defective. Plus, refunds are only valid for the first 30 days from the date of shipping. After that, you’re stuck with the pricey credit card bill.

Obviously, reputable manufacturers don’t implement pricing policies like this and they don’t charge prices like this. So who makes UltrActive?

Who Makes UltrActive?

UltrActive Hair is made by a Dutch company that never lists its name on the official website. The company only lists its address, which is as follows:

The company is also responsible for making UltraGrow, although it doesn’t appear that they sell any other products.

Should You Use UltrActive Hair to Fight Back Against Hair Loss?

UltrActive Hair is a hair loss treatment that contains a low-concentration dose of minoxidil mixed with a confusing blend of botanical extracts. These botanical extracts have never been linked to balding cures or stopping hair loss. In fact, they haven’t really been linked to any health benefits.

That hasn’t stopped the manufacturer of UltrActive from charging a ludicrously high price for the hair loss treatment: at $160 USD for a one month supply, UltrActive is pretty much the most expensive minoxidil treatment you can buy.

None of these things convince us that UltrActive is worth a purchase. For that reason, we recommend avoiding UltrActive and buying something from a more reputable manufacturer: like Rogaine or another minoxidil-based solution.
