Re: Savlon in the USA

So is antibiotic cream (ie neosporin) the same as an antiseptic cream? 'Cause I've never seen OTC antibiotic cream in the UK.

Re: Savlon in the USA

I'm returning home to the UK in a few days, would you like me to post you some Savlon?

There is nothing worse than not being able to find 'your thing' I used to lug Ariel liquid back to the States with me!!!!
