Not sure about ingredients in other countries but the one in Germany contains loooots of bad stuff, incl. fragrance. The fragrance is so bad that you can literally smell it a meter away. It caused irritation and made my rosacea worse. Do not use it if you have sensible skin. For 1,5% HA it dries out the skin.
