Regarding those information, our Experts developed an active ingredient able to protect this skin micro-flora while stimulating skin regeneration. Revivyl™ instantly protects skin microbiota while maintaining the balance and even improving its composition.”
Be seduced by this concentrate of technology beautified by an incredible floral musky notes, with a fresh start neroli, a floral blooming heart with green, pink, iridescent and watery facets while bringing a soft and comfortable sensation.
