Suggest an alternative to Roc and rose water toner

Boots have stopped selling Roc, also my pharmacy has stopped selling rose water. It doesn't rain it pours.

Can anyone suggest and alternative?

I haven't been able to RoC product anywhere! One of the pharmacies in my town told me "they're gone!" Anyway, I purchased a Vichy Normaderm product instead (anti-ageing anti-imperfection anti-wrinkle resurfacing care) Ive just started to use it so can't comment too much but it feels good and I have very sensitive skin. As for the rose water, that can be got in Biofresh skincare (if there's one near you!)

I contacted Roc and they've stopped selling the hydra range in the U.K. Ireland. Maybe all ranges have discontinued.

I'm so surprised as I thought it was a really strong brand.

Me too! I had spent some time researching the best anti ageing products and RoC seemed to be among the best! Bloody typical I can't get it in Ireland now! I would love to know why they've stopped selling it here, was it not selling?

You can find it on amazon.co.uk

It must come down to sales.

I use La roche posay now but it's not quite the same. The pharmacies near me have stopped supplying rose water so I have to buy the more expensive brand versions as opposed to the cheap pharmaceutical grade.

I did look on Amazon all right, but you end up paying a fortune on delivery fees. I'm surprised you're having a hard time getting rose water. Did u try Biofresh? I get it there for my sons (they use it for their acne prone skin).

If it's the shipping fees that are bumping up the cost you can get it delivered to parcel motel for only a few euro?

Boots botanics have a lovely rose water toner

I've never heard of the parcel motel, I must look into that, thanks

My skin went haywire this year so I went to a girl for a facial and she made me up my own toner. It has rosewater, chamomile water witchhazel and another ingredient that I can't remember in it..
It was so lovely to use... I actually ran out of it a few weeks ago and keep meaning to get more but haven't got around to it.
I bought some garnier toner to use while I wait and I don't like it at all.
Love rosewater.. such a difference in different brands though.. some are just watered down crap with a granny smell..
