Benzoyl Peroxide 10%

Hi All
Does anyone know where I can buy Benzoyl Peroxide 10% in the UK? I’ve seen eBay are selling it but it’s in the tiniest tubes and at quite a cost. I normally stock up when in USA but with no plans to visit on the horizon I’m looking for somewhere in the UK.

Quinoderm 10 Cream comes in 50g packs and can normally be bought in pharmacies - (generally acknowledged as the alternative to prescription products)

however there is a Europe wide shortage at the moment - due to the counterfeit medicines countermeasures brought in by the EU - they can't import the main ingredient. There is no indication of when this will change.

I am guessing that any of the Benzoyl Peroxide products in the EU are going to be affected similarly by supply shortage, so the internet/US from trusted suppliers is going to be your best bet... sorry...

Thank you for the explanation. That explains why the normal websites I have used in the past are still listing it but shiwing it as currently out of stock. X

Acnicide gel at boots is 5%
