About The Drug

Ducray Creastim Reactiv Anti-Hair Loss Lotion is a leave-on scalp treatment designed to help reduce temporary hair loss and support stronger, healthier-looking hair.

It is easy to use at home and is suitable for people looking for a simple, practical way to manage reactive hair loss.
