I like saying my skin has a mind of it’s own. It’s a gentle way of saying that it like to break out now and then, and makes me play join the dots. There are periods when I have had no breaks and times when they decided to ruin my day. I tend to use more gentle gel based face washes and the last one I tried and I loved was Ducray Keracnyl Foaming Gel Face & Body.
The product claims to “Keracnyl foaming gel gently purifies and cleanses acne-prone skin. MYRTACINE, purifying active, limits the occurrence of blemishes. Soap Free.
Apply morning and evening on damp skin. Lather then rinse with water and dry.”
My Experience with Ducray Keracnyl Foaming Gel Face & Body
Ducray Keracnyl Foaming Gel was a product I came across of an acne forum. My skin wasn’t in a bad shape but I was getting some pesky ones popping here and there. I decided to give this face wash a try. But I didn’t realize this would be hard to get my hands on. I had to try a couple of pharmacies and wait a while to get my hands on this face wash.
The face wash comes in a simple clean white tube packaging with a flip open cap. The cap is quite secure and I can assure you that you can carry this in your bag and wouldn’t have to worry about spillage. The face wash is gel based and can feel a little weird initially to use but it washes off very easily. I found that my skin feels cleans but not dry. Don’t expect it to remove much makeup though. This helped calm my breakouts a lot and also helped in reducing scarring a bit. I had also used it on my body a few times. I got some rashes due to an insect bite and this seemed to help with itchiness as well. This is a great face wash and along the lines of Cetaphil. The only issue I see is that is priced rather high, but you get a good quantity. Next time your skin decides to play games with you, give Ducray Keracnyl Foaming Gel a try and I am sure you will be impressed with the results.

It definitely is great for acne Megha.
I feel that even if product is pricy if it calms down the skin it’s worth it. This seems really great 🙂

True Swathi and this face wash is worth the money you spend.
I get zits every now and then, but I am always scared to use anything anti acne because I am afraid it will dry out my already dry skin 🙁

If you have very dry skin there are chances it could dry out your skin. But you can also use a noncomedogenic moisturizer afterwards to help with the dryness.
If you were in a waiting line to get the product then I think this is good product. This review will be helpful for all those who are affected by pimple problem.
Definitely Ankita. It helped calm my skin a lot.
I have not tried this brand but wow….This really is looking amazing! Lovely review sweets 🙂

Thanks Zubaida. It is great for oily skin. May not be as effective in peak sticky summers, but otherwise it will work well in calming your skin and keeping oiliness away.
sounds great for acne prone skin. I am having some pimples on my face. I shall try this and check how it works for me:)
Hope you love it too Shwetali 🙂
Haven’t tried the brand yet but if it works for acne, I am sure to get my hands on it soon.

I’m trying to avoid SLS in facewash as my skin is not liking it that much…seems great facewash otherwise..

Yeah it is great but it does contain SLS.
Heard this brand name for the first time.
