Hydrogen peroxide in Dublin?

Is it possible to get this in Dublin? I've gotten addicted to using it in Europe— nothing has worked as effectively on the adult acne I've been trying to shift for ages! I am only looking for a very mild solution; 3-6%. Do any pharmacies in Dublin offer this? Is it a standard item?

I googled, but all I could find was a story about someone being denied the sale of it in Boots and it becoming a discrimination case, but that was several years ago, so I'm not sure if it's purchasable at all anymore as I never remember seeing it at home.

If anyone can tell me where I might get some (bonus points for if they have it in somewhere like Boots in Dundrum), I'd really appreciate it!

They should have it in pretty much every Pharmacy in the country. Boots in Dundrum isn't a pharmacy (there's no pharmacist on-site) McCabes upstairs should have it.

As an aside, unless you've been told otherwise by a healthcare professional 6% hydrogen peroxide should be diluted 50/50 with water before applying to the skin.
