My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Kertyol P.S.O. Concentrate for Body and Scalp Ducray is primarily intended for skin prone to flaking, thickening, and patches, which are typical of scaly conditions such as psoriasis. My analysis of the formulation reveals a desire to target both the elimination of scales and the soothing of itching, while respecting the skin barrier. This product is part of a rigorous dermo-cosmetic approach, adapted to areas of the body and scalp that are often difficult to treat.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, glycolic acid, an AHA known for its keratolytic action, promotes the elimination of dead cells and smoothes the skin's surface. Next, chicory root extract (Cichorium intybus) has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect, which is useful for calming feelings of discomfort. Finally, Tripterygium wilfordii callus extract, derived from a medicinal plant, is used for its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and irritation. The combination of these active ingredients gives the product targeted effectiveness on thick plaques and itching, while limiting the risk of irritation thanks to a moisturizing and lipid-replenishing base.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this concentrate once or twice a day, on clean, dry skin, directly to the affected areas of the body or scalp. It can be used in conjunction with medical treatment, but it is best to avoid immediate combination with other powerful exfoliants (retinoids, BHA) to limit the risk of irritation. It is compatible with moisturizing or soothing skincare products and can be incorporated into a morning or evening routine depending on individual tolerance.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Ducray concentrate stands out for its effectiveness on flaky skin and its soothing properties. Its non-greasy texture makes it easy to apply, even to the scalp. One slight drawback: it contains fragrance, which may cause sensitivity in some individuals. In conclusion, this is a well-formulated, expert-grade treatment that I recommend for skin prone to thick patches and persistent itching.
