No Brasil, ele é vendido na linha Dermotivin da Galderma. Embalagem bem igual. Único hidratante que realmente não empipoca meu rosto com acne fúngica. Não fico sem!
Deixa a minha pele macia, sequinha mas com viço e ameniza as cicatrizes da acne, acalma a pele. Excelente combinação com o peróxido de benzoíla.
