A soap-free foaming gel that purifies oily, spot-prone skin without drying it
Ducray Keracnyl Foaming Gel is a soap-free cleansing gel for the face and body of oily skin prone to blemishes. Its gentle washing base, built around zinc coceth sulfate, removes excess sebum and impurities while respecting the skin, and myrtle leaf extract (Myrtacine) helps purify the skin surface. Glycerin keeps skin comfortable after rinsing, so it does not feel tight or stripped. Ducray reports that 96% of users found their skin soothed and comfortable. It is a simple first step for any anti-blemish routine.
The texture
A clear blue gel that lathers into a light foam with water and rinses off easily. Skin is left clean and matte, with a fresh, discreet scent.
Who it suits
- Oily and combination skin with blemishes
- Spots on the back, chest and shoulders
- Teens and adults with blemish-prone skin
- Skin dried out by drying anti-blemish products that needs a gentle wash
Worth knowing before you buy: it contains fragrance and a blue colorant. It cleanses and purifies but is not a spot-targeting product on its own, so pair it with a targeted care such as Keracnyl PP+.
How long one bottle lasts
Used twice a day on the face, the 400ml pump bottle lasts around four to five months. Used on the body too, count on about two months.
