Neutrogena T-gel?

Anyone ever find any Neutrogena T-gel shampoo around? It seems that the pharmacies here only stock the exact same useless products no matter which one you go into.

You can buy it online, Google.ch should give you some hits.

It's kind of depressing how that's always the answer here.

Sorry, i'll make one up onstead...

"Hey I saw it in Co-Op, third shelf at the back next to the Dove handwash". Better?

Fact is, as with anything hard to find, you can find it online at a place that ships locally within Switzerland. I don't know if you're one of the dinosaurs that think shopping online causes meteors to strike the earth and all of your card details to be immediately stolen... but that's where you can find them.

You're pretty funny for a foreigner. Do you take everything personally? You might want to work on that.

Re: Neutrogena T-gel?

You might want to ask someone who is heading over to Italy one of these days to check a store there. It seems that it is distributed in the EU so you might find some in a store across the border.

For some reason I think that I have seen it in CH but I can't be sure. Have you tried in a Coop City store? They seem to have quite a selection of shampoos that would be different from what you might have in a pharmacy.

Yeah, I've tried a couple of different pharmacies, the Coop, Migros, Manor. No luck.

I have no idea Im afraid. But usefully I do know that many years ago there was an advert for Neturogena shampoo on the telly where a model actually got them out in the advert! On British TV! Turns out its not actually illegal for nudity in adverts after the watershed its just "not the done thing".

We rang the TV Standards Broadcasting Committee number and lodged a complaint immediately, of course.

I checked as well. I asked at the pharmacy when I was in the other day. It seems that none of the distributors is importing it anymore. If someone has it, they are importing in directly.

As suggested, have someone check over the border in Italy. They might see it there as it seems that it is distributed in the EU.

Re: Neutrogena T-gel?

I think she found a decent option. Something made by Rausch called Huflattich anti-schuppen shampoo. Ain't cheap but she says it works well.
