Ducray Keracnyl Cream-Review

Ducray Keracnyl Cream – Review

I had thought with time, my oily skin would get drier and less acne prone but then we moved to Chennai where there is constant humidity, no winter and dry skin is unheard of. So then again wearing greasy makeup could lead to acne again for me and hence I started trying more things for myself. I have a derma friend to whom I asked about this cream and she said I could try it but had also advised glyco6 with Clearz cream for combating future acne. But still I was keen to try this one out!Let see what it did for me:
Ducray keracynl cream

Specifically formulated for acne-prone skin, Keracnyl complete regulating care acts on the factors involved in the formation of unsightly blemishes and blackheads. Poly-hydroxy-acids (glycolic acid, salicylic acid and lactic acid) enable gentle exfoliation of the cutaneous surface. Pores are cleansed in-depth, skin texture is left visibly smoother.

Myrtacine, a new purifying active, limits the appearance of blemishes and blackheads. The zinc salicylate / Sabal extract association reduces excess sebum production. Skin is matified. Improvement is visible as from the first month of use, with smoother and healthier looking skin. Oil-free texture, ideal as make-up base. Hypoallergenic. Non-comedogenic.

Direction for use: Apply Keracnyl complete regulating care once or twice daily to thoroughly cleansed and towel-dried skin. Avoid the eye and lip contour.

Price:

Rs. 365
What I noticed about this cream was that this is not an Alpha-H-A one but its has Poly-hydroxy-acids and I have heard all sorts of peeling effects on a gentle overtime manner it has and hence I got happy at the purchase. The cream has a small tube so i suspect very small quantity has to be used.

A major dislike I had about this cream is that though it says it can be used a makeup base, i found it extremely greasy, in fact it makes my skin very greasy and overnight, it makes it very oily. I tried using very little of the cream but no help.

Some more things I would like to point out is that since I stay in humidity, this might have felt more greasy for me. Another thing is that it has medicinal smell.Then again, it tingles and burns very mildly and the pack also mentions this. I imagine that would be some sort of gradual peeling effect it would have on my skin.

The effect I saw was that overnight my pore size was reduced, and my mild scars were a little fuller, but this cream works only after 4 to 5 weeks.Moreover,my complexion was little vern and the blemishes were lighter, of course only over time.

There are these major things I would like to point out, this cream works only on mild to moderate acne and scar situation, It works only on skin that it not much experimented upon and is still open to mild treatment. Again, it is loaded with chemicals I feel and the mil burning sensation may not be taken wel by all. This is not meant for sensitive skin at all.If you are already in your late adult acne, I really think you have to give it a lot of time.Try using it in addition to this if you wish!

Last word:

It works for mild to moderate acne and scar issue with at least 4 weeks invested in it.Also, sensitive skin should stay away from this cream,if you have been interested in Aha and Poly-H-A then you can try this.Remember, I find it way too greasy for my oily skin.I dont know whether this will work for scars in a dry climate and also how much it would work for active acne. Moreover, if you dont like greasy skin treatments, then stay away.

PS: I dont have much knowledge on AHA or skin peeling, so please consult your doctor before you try anything new.

  1. I was really looking forward to but this Neha but you are saying it makes us feel more greasy!!!!!!!! And anyways my blemishes are way to dark!!!!!!!!! Will hunt for some other cream now!

  2. Neha hi ๐Ÿ™‚
    I have used this too, n it worked really well for first 2-3 weeks of use lekin lekin uske baad no effect on skin at all ๐Ÿ™
    n i dislike the stinging sensation this gives on application :\

  3. Thanks for the timely review Neha. I wanted to check its review before buying it. Currently I am using Effaclar Duo from La Roche Posay which is similar (atleast the way it works on the skin, not really sure of the ingredients though).

  4. hey!

    i have similar skin issues and my dermatologist prescribed glyco 6 at first and then glyco A and Papulex – both have worked really well to prevent my acne.

  5. This worked wonders for me. It is true it very oily in itself and takes several minutes to absorb. It also makes my face ‘melt’ if it’s too hot. (I have my dresser, and wardrobes in my storeroom and if I have to spend a few minutes there after putting Kerancyl on, my face turns to liquid). I agree with the reviewer that it seems to puff up the smaller breakouts initially but they don’t grow to actual pimples and flatten out in a day or two. The whiteheads on my chin are as firmly lodged as they were when I started, but I have noticed that blackheads on the sides of my nose are more forgiving in making an appearance now.

    I get say, one pimple per week and this has shown me amazing results (fingers crossed that they continue). I am not sure if it will work for people with global breakouts but it is definitely something you should try if you get the odd zit now (more so because it is v v inexpensive). I noticed a lightening of the scars left by pimples on the first application (not exaggerating here) and 2 weeks later, the marks are, I’d say 70% reduced. I feel so dumb for not having taken before and after pictures but my father who is 64 and has had cataracts removed from both eyes told me that my cheeks look clearer when he looked at me sleeping.

    It worked for me and cost very lil. So, it is a 5 star product for me rofl
