A moisturizing care for oily skin with blemishes that generate unwanted shine. This cream also mattifies, or what is the same, counteracts shine in an immediate and lasting way. And by the way it closes the pores.
It is very useful as a make-up base, as it prevents shine in the T zone during the day.
It uses Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Sabal PMMA, and Tocopheryl Acetate in a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic formula.
We are going to check in what concentration these active ingredients are, remembering that glycolic acid and salicylic acid should not be in a high concentration since they are quite powerful ingredients.
And if you want to see more options, I recommend that you read this article with an analysis of the Best Moisturizing Creams that you can currently find.

Summary analysis Ducray Keracnyl mattifying cream
With its first 6 ingredients it leaves much to be desired, two silicones, a filler and an ingredient with a low risk of toxicity (but risk after all).
Masks that are intended to make you believe that you have smooth and hydrated skin, when in fact you do not have it, and that can lead to dehydration.
I find myself quite a bit more irritating and toxic along the list – a shame! And finally, in the lower half, the assets begin to appear, the ones that are worth it. Glycolic acid, salicylic acid, a couple of moisturizers and an agent that regulates excess oil.
They are fine, but the moisturizers are not too concentrated. In addition, you must be very careful when using this cream, since salicylic acid is a photosensitizer, and you must always go outside with sunscreen on.
It is not a good moisturizer. It may mattify shine and reduce oiliness, but hydrating is not overly hydrating.
It strikes me that in the description it is mentioned that it does not have perfume, when it does.
Alternative
Nezeni Cosmetics Collagen cream is not specially formulated to mattify or eliminate shine, but it is suitable for oily skin, since it is non-comedogenic and will deeply hydrate the skin.
In addition, it lacks harmful, irritating and toxic ingredients, thus saving us the combined effect that it will bring so many problems in the future.
