About The Drug

• Uriage Eau Thermale Depiderm Anti-Brown Spot Facial Fluid SPF15 is a daily facial care product designed to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and protect your skin from everyday sun exposure. It is made for people who want a lighter, more even-looking complexion while also giving the skin hydration and a comfortable, non-greasy finish.
