Description
When French dermatologists see patients with hair loss, Ducray Anaphase is almost always the first thing they recommend.
Ducray is part of Pierre Fabre Laboratories — one of France’s leading pharmaceutical groups, with deep roots in dermatological research. The Anaphase+ shampoo is Ducray’s answer to reactive hair loss: the temporary, diffuse shedding that follows stress, illness, hormonal changes (including pregnancy and post-partum), nutritional deficiency, or aggressive styling. This is distinct from genetic hair loss, for which Anaphase is a complement rather than a cure.
What makes Anaphase+ effective is the combination of actives that work at multiple levels: scalp microcirculation, hair fibre strength, and the hair growth cycle itself. Clinical trials show 88% of users report reduced hair loss after 6 weeks of regular use, and 90% notice enhanced hair growth after 12 weeks.
Key Actives
- 🌿 Ruscus Extract
Improves microcirculation in the scalp — ensuring a better flow of oxygen and nutrients to the hair follicle roots. Better-nourished follicles produce stronger, more resilient hair. - 🧬 Biotin (Vitamin B8)
Essential for keratin production — the protein that makes up the hair shaft. Biotin deficiency is a common cause of weak, brittle, thinning hair. - 💧 Panthenol (Vitamin B5)
Penetrates the hair shaft to hydrate and strengthen from within. Visibly improves elasticity, softness, and shine from the first wash. - ⚡ Tocopheryl Nicotinate
A form of Vitamin E + niacin that stimulates scalp circulation and supports hair follicle health. - âś… Safe for all life stages
Clinically tested for use during pregnancy (from the 2nd trimester), breastfeeding, and for patients undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment.
How to Use
Apply to damp hair. Work into a lather and rinse. Reapply and massage the scalp gently for 2–3 minutes — this step is crucial as it enhances absorption and stimulates circulation. Rinse thoroughly. Use at least 3 times per week for best results. For maximum efficacy, follow with a dedicated anti-hair loss treatment (Ducray Anacaps capsules or a topical lotion). Expect to see results after 4–6 weeks of consistent use.
