I have used many Vichy products for women's skin care, so I was not afraid to use this product as a present for a man.  Vichy products user thermal water from France in their products.  This product is in elegant black packaging that is perfect for man.  It comes in a size that is easy to store in a bathroom or in a gym bag.  I applied a little bit of the cream om my hand.  It is soft, it absorbs quickly and has a lovely scent.  This product contains glycerin which seals skin moisture.
