Acne doesn’t stop at your face. Ducray’s Keracnyl Foaming Gel cleans oily, blemish-prone skin from head to toe without leaving it feeling stripped or dry.
Acne isn’t just a teenage problem. Sigh. And it’s hardly a niche skin concern: according to the Canadian Dermatology Association, it affects about 90 per cent of adolescents and can also show up on the body in 50 per cent of cases. As for men who sweat through workouts, spend hours in athletic gear or simply have oily, blemish-prone skin, you too need a smart cleansing routine. So make it an effective one with products like Ducray’s Keracnyl Foaming Gel.
Designed for both the face and body, this soap-free cleanser gently removes impurities and helps purify oily, acne-prone skin without unnecessarily compromising the skin barrier. Because nobody needs their post-gym shower turning into a skin-care battle. That balance matters. Over-cleansing or aggressively scrubbing can actually damage your skin, making it feel irritated and dry. So while acne-prone skin needs to remove excess oil it also simultaneously needs to hang onto its natural oils for moisture.
Keracnyl’s formula can help keep this balance in place. Myrtle leaf extract (a.k.a: myrtacine) targets acne by fighting bacteria, reducing redness and inflammation, while helping reduce the appearance of unwanted spots. Glycerin attracts moisture so your skin feels comfortable rather than stripped after cleansing. And lauryl betaine and decyl glucoside contribute to the cleansing action, creating a gentle lather that removes excess oil, dirt and grime.
All you have to do is cleanse your face and body skin with a quarter-size amount of the gel after a stressful day at the office, a hard workout or a friendly game of squash, and again at night before you go to bed. Just lather all over, rinse thoroughly and pat dry, avoiding the eye area. Then follow with a lightweight, water-based moisturizer on your face and body. Hydration is crucial because supporting the skin barrier helps keep your skin comfortable while it recovers; dry, stripped skin can be more easily irritated. Remember: the goal isn’t squeaky-clean skin. It’s clean, balanced skin.
