Hey guys,

I'm from BC and was wondering where I can get some AHA locally? Or if we actually carry Neutrogena 2% SA body scrub anywhere? I can't seem to find that at all either!

Seems like we don't really get the same products as in the US.

Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Boosted7, you're right. Canada doesn't carry high percentages of AHA's for use on the face. If you want anything stronger than 8% or 10%, you need to order from the U.S.

I've ordered from reputable eBay sellers. I also suggest www.platinumskincare.com as they carry various strengths of peels to meet your needs.

Domestically, Ultima16 is correct to suggest checking out London Drugs. They also carry the line Neostrata which is AHA/BHA based.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies!

I was looking around for the Neutrogena healthy skin lotion... Would that be the face lotions? would that be strong enough for the body? it doesn't really say how much aha% is in it...

i've heard that neut healthy.. is ~8%

Just a heads up, I went to London Drugs, and wow, the Neostrata stuff is pretty expensive. I found a 200mL 10% aha body lotion for $30!!! So I guess Canada does carry 10% aha. And the Neutrogena healthy skin lotion is like $13 for 70mL, so it's pretty small.

I might just get the aha lotion from drugstore.com since it's $13us for a 177mL, which seems like a much better deal especially with our exchange rate nowadays.

Just wanted to let you all know!

On second thought, the AHA lotion from drugstore.com would come out to more than $30 with shipping and handling.. Grrrr.. wow, something that sells for $13 online, comes out to over 30.. Damn, Canada =(

the bottle of aha lotion is smaller than normal lotion. i recommend u use 1 pump or 1.5 pumps like me and then apply a bit of moisturizer. i find that works better since the aha lotion doesn't moisturize as well. it also makes it last longer. i still have a lot left and i've been using it for almost 1.5 months. (once a day)
