Ducray Ictyane Emollient Moisturizing Cream 200ml

I was prescribed this in France a long time ago as I had some problem with my face. Did the trick very well. My granddad had it after a hospital stay too about 30 years ago. When I couldn't find anything working for my daughter eczema in the UK I thought that it couldn't hurt to try. If she keep a regular schedule with this cream, she almost has no flares and her skin is finally smooth. It works better on her than the Epaderm prescribed by the GP which was the best one we had before. It has reduced the use of steroids a lot, no more itchiness or blood on the sheets.I still use it as my face cream.A bit expensive to order but for us it is worth it.If you find that Aveeno is not strong enough then this is the cream for you.

The best cream I've ever bought (& I've bought a lot ranging from cheap to expensive) for dry flaking skin on my face

I have been using this cream for 10 years since having septisemia. Can now only purchase from chemist in France or on the internet.

Bought this after trying the 'older' version which smelt lovely, was a nice medium texture and melted into skin leaving it soft and hydrated. However, this one smelt 'clingy' and 'cheap' and was way too thick and the next day I had spots I don't know what they have changed but for me, the change was not good. I have read the other reviews and everyone seems to love it - I have pale, slightly dry skin, not particularly allergic to anything but found this too rich and cheap smelling. I am really disappointed as the I was REALLY looking forward to the texture, smell and skin clearing affects of the older version.

I don't know why more people don't know or write about it. Feels healing and hydrating and doesn't wash away easily. The real deal.

Good quality for money. It has always been my favorite as my face cream.It is the best if you have dry skin.

This unknown moisturiser on the UK market has kept my skin young and smooth for the last 25 years ever since I first borrowed some from a friend in France. I used to have oily skin and now I have combination skin and it seems to even everything out. It is supposed to be for dry skin but don't let that put you off if your skin is oily or combination. We have nothing like this in the UK. (We don't do "parapharmacie" which the French do so well) The price for quality/quantity is excellent and your skin feels amazingly soft and moisturised after use. It has a gentle scent and can be used on face and body alike. It absorbs quickly and doubles up as aftersun. I'm in my 50's now and still using it.My friends and family all say I look 40ish so if that doesn't do it for you .....:):)
