Your dry skin deserves sun protection that also fades existing dark spots. Ducray Melascreen UV Rich Cream SPF 50+ gives you broad-spectrum UVA/UVB defense while actively targeting uneven pigmentation. If photoaging or age spots concern you, this is your daily morning shield.

Key Benefits

  • Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ defense: blocks UVA and UVB rays that trigger dark spots and photoaging.
  • Fades existing pigmentation: the Melascreen complex slows melanin overproduction for visibly even skin tone.
  • Rich, nourishing texture: designed for dry skin that needs comfort alongside daily sun protection.
  • Fragrance-free formula: gentle enough for sensitive, reactive skin types.
  • Non-comedogenic: protects your skin daily without clogging pores.
  • Dermatologist-formulated heritage: developed by Laboratoires Ducray, trusted by French dermatologists

Key Ingredients

Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine: a photostable UVA/UVB filter that maintains protection throughout sun exposure. Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane: a broad UVA absorber that guards against the rays most responsible for pigmentation. Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol: a nano-filter that reflects and scatters UVA and UVB rays for reinforced defense. Tocopherol: Vitamin E, a natural antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals from sun exposure. Butylene Glycol: a lightweight humectant that draws moisture into dry skin for lasting comfort.

How to Use

Every morning, apply the cream generously to your clean face and neck before sun exposure. Use 5 to 6 doses on the face and 9 to 10 doses on the decollete for full coverage. Smooth evenly across your skin, including the back of your hands using 1 to 2 doses. Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors or after perspiring. Pair with Ducray Melascreen corrective treatments in your evening routine for best results on stubborn spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the Melascreen Protective Fluid SPF 50+?

The Rich Cream has a denser, more emollient texture formulated specifically for dry skin. The Protective Fluid is a lighter finish suited to normal or combination skin. Both target dark spots and deliver SPF 50+ protection, but the Rich Cream adds more hydration and comfort.

Can I use this as my only morning moisturizer?

Yes, the rich texture provides enough hydration for dry skin so you can apply it as a combined moisturizer and sunscreen each morning. For very dry skin or during winter, you may layer a hydrating serum underneath for added comfort before applying this cream.

How often should I reapply Melascreen UV Rich Cream outdoors?

Reapply every two hours during intense sun exposure or after sweating. Apply 5 to 6 doses generously across the face to achieve the labeled SPF 50+ protection level. Skimping on quantity reduces the effective sun protection your skin receives.
