Acne.org Products
Hadn't bought any in ages and just ran out of a bottle that expired about half a year ago(!). Boots don't stock it anymore, and the pharmacist at Lloyds told me it'd been discontinued.
Pretty hard to believe, seeing as how I felt it was amazing. Been using the 5% or 10% benzoyl peroxide creams for 15 years, and they worked so well I'd never thought about trying anything else. Now that I have to; well, I don't even know what else is out there!
Lloyds' pharmacist recommended Quinoderm to me, but I thought I'd stop by here and see if anybody else had found themselves in a similar situation, or could recommend other BP-based products I can buy in the UK. Tried the reviews here, but with a slow connection and no way to tell what is and isn't available in the UK, it's frustrating going. Kinda getting the feeling that BP's getting hard to find in the UK...
Hmm... Thanks, I think I might as well try Quinoderm, if it's similar enough to Oxy.
Went browsing on Quinoderm's site and found something to shed a little light on the matter, too!
Why is there a stock shortage of the cream?
There is an issue with the supply of one of the main active ingredients of Quinoderm Creams.
Changes recently put in place by European Authorities mean that some ingredients have become difficult to import into the EU. Although these European changes were designed to prevent counterfeit medicines being bought into the EU, they have unfortunately also affected the supply of some more specialised ingredients that have legally been on the market for many years.
This has regrettably affected the supply of one of the active ingredients of Quinoderm Creams. Work is underway to develop new supply of this ingredient as soon as possible.
When are the creams back in stock?
We understand how important the Quinoderm Creams are to our customers and we are working very hard to bring the creams back to customers as soon as possible; however this may still be several months away.
I'm guessing they're talking about benzoyl peroxide, there! Hope I can find a local pharmacy that has it, then!
