EQT AB is reviving plans to take skincare business Galderma public, people with knowledge of the matter said, in what’s expected to be another key test for Europe’s market for initial public offerings.

The Swedish investment firm is studying the feasibility of listing the business as soon as after the Easter break in early April, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information. EQT could look to raise as much as €3 billion ($3.2 billion) from a listing, they said.
