What this page covers

Ducray is a French pharmacy dermocosmetic brand. It traces back to Albert Ducray, the son of a dermatologist, who began formulating shampoos for different scalp types around 1930. In 1969 the brand joined Pierre Fabre's dermo-cosmetics division, alongside names such as Avène, Klorane and A-Derma.

Two areas define the catalogue, and both are familiar sights on Spanish pharmacy shelves: hair care and skin that runs oily or acne-prone. Anaphase+ is the brand's best-known anti-hair-loss complement shampoo; Keracnyl works with oily, blemish-prone skin; and Ictyane has addressed dry skin since the 1980s. Depending on the line, formulas lean on actives like salicylic acid, niacinamide, monolaurin or plant extracts.

On this Evigrade page you can browse the Ducray catalogue with each product's INCI broken down. Every ingredient carries an evidence rating – a traffic-light plus A–F tiers – along with pregnancy-use information. Evigrade is an independent, evidence-based reference on cosmetic composition, not a shop and not a medical adviser. Here you can check what each formula contains and how well each active is supported.
