A leave-on lotion for sudden, temporary hair fall
Ducray Anaphase Creastim Reactiv Lotion is a leave-on scalp lotion for reactive hair loss, the sudden shedding that can follow stress, fatigue, a change of season or pregnancy. Applied directly to the scalp, it helps reduce hair fall and supports stronger, fuller-looking hair. Its formula pairs a tetrapeptide that supports the hair cycle with creatine, which boosts energy supply to the hair bulb. A complex of vitamins B5, B6 and B8 (biotin) helps fortify the hair fibre and improve keratin quality.
How it works
A light liquid with a dosing nozzle that absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy or sticky residue, so hair can be styled straight after. It has a delicate floral scent. It is used as a two-month course, three times a week.
Who it suits
- Sudden shedding after stress, fatigue or illness
- Seasonal hair fall
- Postpartum shedding, including while breastfeeding
- All hair types, adults
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains alcohol denat. and fragrance. It targets temporary, reactive shedding, not long-term or hereditary thinning.
