At Ducray Dermatological Laboratories, for over 90 years, we have been committed to improving the quality of life of people with skin and scalp problems.
In order to provide you with truly useful and innovative care routines, our principle is to approach pathologies in their entirety, from clinical symptoms to psychological and physical impacts. And to be even more accurate in our solutions, we have set up an uncompromising approach that consists of involving patients and dermatologists in our reflections.
This is how we manage to develop safe, effective, easy-to-use and well-tolerated products to better manage dermatological disorders, including hair loss.
Hair loss, whether chronic or occasional, affects approximately 35 million men and 21 million women worldwide1. Contrary to popular belief, it is very common and it is important not to dismiss it, and to know how to identify the type of hair loss concerned. Stress, fatigue, nutritional deficiencies, childbirth, hormonal disorders, medical treatment, genetic conditions, etc. The are many causes. Even if it can be reversible in some cases, hair loss sometimes causes a loss of self-confidence and self-esteem.
For all these reasons, since 1997 we have been committed to innovation in order to co-create the most effective solutions for chronic hair loss and occasional hair loss.

Who, better than you, can enlighten us on the symptoms, the experiences and the progress noted? Who, better than you, can enlighten us on the finer details, the repercussions on your morale and the consequences on your daily life?
This year, more than 315,000 internet searches on hair loss were studied by our teams to find out what concerns you: treatment, care, prevention, etc. Which components? Which doctors or treatments?
Meanwhile, a study carried out in 4 countries (France, Italy, Germany and Mexico) has enabled us to better understand your behaviour in the face of hair loss: loss of self-confidence, fear of heredity, changes in styling methods, the search for product solutions, etc. We take these doubts and specific reactions into account in order to accompany you beyond the adapted treatments and care routines.
Our desire to improve the treatment of chronic and reactive hair loss has led us to include you in our discussions and working groups. Our range of tailor-made products is the result of our close dialogue with you.
By focusing on the personal experiences of nearly 550 patients with chronic hair loss, we have been able to:
Your involvement at every stage of product development is a powerful driving force that constantly pushes us towards excellence and innovation. This is very useful to us and helps the researchers behind each of Ducray Dermatological Laboratories' advances on loss of hair density .
During working groups, the first request from patients was to be able to identify their own hair loss type among all those that exist, its degree of severity, and to have information to better understand it and know how to treat it most effectively.
Working closely with internationally renowned researchers, dermatologists and hair surgeons allows us to expand our thinking, accelerate our research and enrich our expertise.
The key to this approach:
Since 1997, some of our targeted active ingredients dedicated to fortify and boost hair density have been patented and several publications have appeared in influential dermatological journals.
Innovation is our priority. Over the last 3 years, our laboratories have developed a complete range of pro-density and fortifying products for comprehensive IN & OUT* ritual.
So, in case of stress, fatigue, nutritional deficiency or pregnancy, we suggest a simple routine to nourish your hair from the inside and stimulate it from the outside. Combining CREASTIM REACTIV and ANACAPS REACTIV means combining efficacy, natural ingredients, health and beauty.
Our expert teams are committed beyond the development of the innovative CREASTIM REACTIV formula. They also worked on making the lotion comfortable, non-greasy and non-sticky, and on developing a more precise application method in the form of a pipette. All of these innovations transform each application into a massage moment, guaranteeing fast efficacy.
*From the inside and the outside
The latest scientific evidence shows that the IN & OUT* approach is appropriate for improving the quality of life of patients suffering from loss of hair density:
98% of dermatologists recommend taking food supplements to correct nutritional deficiencies that cause hair loss3
85% of dermatologists recommend the use of topical cosmetics with active ingredients targeting the hair follicle3
