Nathalie,
Been using your product for over a year now and I’m incredibly thankful for it.*Anonymous
Hi, I’m Nathalie. After spending a lot of money trying different products to cover my vitiligo and never finding a good solution, I worked with a chemist to develop Vitiligo Cover lotion. It’s simple to use, blends away the vitiligo areas, and is waterproof.
