American Toiletries in the UK: Old Spice, Crest, Dr. Scholl’s and More

Some of the most-searched-for toiletries in the UK aren’t sold on British high-street shelves at all, or they’re sold here in a different formula, scent or size.

Why do US toiletries differ from UK ones?

Brands often sell different ranges, scents and formulations in different countries, and sizes are usually labelled in US ounces rather than millilitres. So even when a brand name is familiar, the exact product you remember from the US may not be on sale here. Always check the ingredients and directions on the pack, especially for skincare and hair removal products.
