ActiDerm products are all paraben free and are not tested on animals, all our products are made in and come straight from our laboratory in France so you are buying direct. We cut out all the middle men to keep our prices down, which is why our products are so affordable and not available on the high street. ActiDerm products also have a much higher percentage of 'active ingredients' (the stuff that makes it actually do what it says on the tin) in them than most shop bought brands. Our products are surgically inspired products for use at home. Basically you are getting professional quality products and pocket friendly prices xxx
