Ducray Melascreen UV Light Cream SPF 50+ 40 ml white tube Melasma Daily Sunscreen
Ducray sunscreen

Melascreen UV Light Cream SPF 50+

The daily-driver companion to Ductray's Melascreen line — a broad-spectrum SPF 50+ with strong UVA coverage and supporting brightening actives, in a formulation gentle enough for indefinite use. The right choice for melasma maintenance, pregnant patients, and anyone who wants daily sun protection that does a little more than just block UV. The lighter sibling to the Depigmenting Cream variant.

Ducray Dexyane Anti-Scratching Emollient Cream 200 ml white tube Pharmacy Eczema Staple
Ducray moisturizer

Dexyane Anti-Scratching Emollient Cream

A specialist eczema cream that does something most competitors don't bother with: actively targets the itch, not just the dryness. Enoxolone and sucralfate layered on a solid shea-butter emollient base deliver genuine anti-itch relief within minutes, and it's gentle enough for daily use on face, body, and children's skin. Hard to find in the US, worth the effort.

Ducray Dexyane MeD Soothing Repair Cream 100 ml white tube Clinical Flare Fighter
Ducray moisturizer

Dexyane MeD Soothing Repair Cream

A genuinely unusual eczema cream — one of the few over-the-counter options built around Tripterygium wilfordii extract and registered as a European medical device. Faster-acting than typical emollient creams on acute flares, with published tolerance data to back it up. Not a steroid replacement for severe cases, but a credible bridge between basic barrier creams and prescription treatment.

Ducray Keracnyl PP+ Anti-Blemish Cream 30 ml white tube Acne Companion Plus
Ducray treatment

Keracnyl PP+ Anti-Blemish Cream

An upgraded version of the original Keracnyl PP that adds celastrol and phytic acid for more aggressive anti-inflammatory and anti-pigment action. The four-mechanism approach (sebum, inflammation, bacteria, pigmentation) is unusually comprehensive for a non-prescription acne cream, and the formula is still gentle enough to layer with retinoids. Held back only by the pregnancy uncertainty and small tube.

Ducray Melascreen Depigmenting Cream SPF 50+ 30 ml white tube Melasma Day Cream MVP
Ducray treatment

Melascreen Depigmenting Cream SPF 50+

One of the most thoughtful melasma day creams on the European pharmacy market — four brightening mechanisms layered with broad-spectrum SPF 50+ in a single daily product. Specifically built for the patient population most prone to melasma treatment failure: people who skip either the active treatment step or the sunscreen step. Pregnancy-safe, well-tolerated, and clinically credible.

Ducray Keracnyl PP Anti-Blemish Soothing Cream 30 ml white tube Acne Treatment Companion
Ducray treatment

Keracnyl PP Anti-Blemish Soothing Cream

A thoughtful soothing cream for acne-prone skin that earns its place in a routine alongside — not instead of — stronger acne treatments. Niacinamide, Pierre Fabre's patented Myrtacine, zinc PCA, and bisabolol do real work calming barrier damage from retinoids and benzoyl peroxide. Not a standalone treatment, but one of the best retinoid companions at this price.

Ducray Melascreen UV Rich Cream SPF 50+ 40ml tube Melasma Specialist SPF
Ducray sunscreen

Melascreen UV Rich Cream SPF 50+

Ducray Melascreen UV Rich is one of the rare sunscreens built around the actual biology of melasma instead of a generic SPF number. The four-filter European system prioritizes deep UVA coverage, and the Nonapeptide-1 plus ferulic acid backup gives it real pigmentation credentials. At $32 for 40ml it's not cheap, but for anyone actively managing hyperpigmentation it earns the spend.

Ducray Ictyane HD Emollient Cream 200 ml white tube Classical Dry-Skin Staple
Ducray moisturizer

Ictyane HD Emollient Cream

A classical French pharmacy emollient that does the fundamentals well at a fair price — ceramides, cholesterol, squalane, and shea butter in a rich but non-greasy cream. Excellent for genetically dry body skin, winter xerosis, and mild keratosis pilaris. The only real asterisk is the fragrance, which rules it out for the most sensitive users.

Ducray Ictyane Ultra-Rich Face Cream 50 ml white tube Winter-Dry Face Staple
Ducray moisturizer

Ictyane Ultra-Rich Face Cream

A genuinely rich facial cream built for very dry skin, winter xerosis, and retinoid buffering. Ceramides, cholesterol, squalane, and shea butter deliver real barrier repair on a substantial occlusive base that still absorbs well enough for daily wear. The fragrance and small tube size keep it from a higher score, but for the right skin type it earns its place.
