Can you buy Paula's Choice and Skinactives in Dubai?
I buy them online and get them sent to my US Shop+Ship account. Skinactives is a lot of fun, because you can order individual chemical actives and mix your own creams, for example I order their standard antioxidant serum and add additional antioxidants and their standard collagen serum and add copper peptides
P's-C do some really good AHA and BHA products, as well as great retinol containing products, and a serum that's almost identical to the Skinceuticals "C E Ferrulic". However their antioxidant serums I think have a silicone base which isn't for everyone
The science behind skincare isn't actually that complicated. A lot of the stuff offered by big brands (Dior, Chanel, YSL etc) is just marketing hype and very overpriced. Cosmeceutical brands offer better products but they're often super expensive
Retinol creams that I think are available here -
Roc - retinox
Philosophy - hope in a jar
Differin 1% (pharmacies)
Skinceuticals retinol 1% serum

I know it has been a while since you posted this but I am wanting to order Paula's choice.
Also I read in your post that you use US Shop+Ship. When I talked to the PC customer service lady, she assured me that because they use FedEx couriers I would receive my package. I am really not sure what to do, whether I should use Shop+Ship or just order through the website and trust that FedEx will get it to me. Why is it that you chose to use Shop+Ship? At first glance it seems rather expensive, especially ordering things such as heavy skin care products?
I am not too sure what website I should order through or if it even matters, for instance should I order through the American website or the UK one?
Also has anyone just ordered off the PC website and received their package?
Look forward to your reply :)
