My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Ducray Keracnyl UV Anti-Blemish Fluid is mainly designed for acne-prone skin that is prone to blemishes and excess sebum. This sunscreen fluid from Ducray stands out thanks to its formula, which is designed to protect the skin from UV rays while limiting the appearance of spots and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. My expert opinion is that this product addresses a common problem: the difficulty of finding sun protection that is suitable for oily or acne-prone skin, without causing breakouts or excessive shine.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three major assets catch my attention. First, the niacinamide (vitamin B3), known for its anti-inflammatory, sebum-regulating, and skin barrier-repairing properties. It helps reduce redness and prevent residual marques. Next, the myrtus communis leaf extract (myrtle extract) has purifying and antioxidant properties, helping to limit the bacterial proliferation involved in acne. Finally, the combination of organic sunscreens (Tinosorb M, Tinosorb S, Avobenzone, Uvasorb HEB) provides broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays, which is essential for preventing the worsening of blemishes and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The presence of silica and corn starch promotes a matte finish, suitable for combination to oily skin.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this fluid every morning, as the last step in your routine, all over your face and neck. It can be combined with light moisturizers or anti-acne active ingredients such as azelaic acid or zinc. However, I do not recommend combining it with retinoids or powerful exfoliating acids, which could make the skin more sensitive to the sun.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Ducray sunscreen offers an excellent balance between UV protection and care for blemish-prone skin. Its light, non-greasy, mattifying texture is a real plus. The only downside is the presence of fragrance, which can be irritating for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, I recommend this product for acne-prone skin types looking for effective and suitable sun protection.
