pls let me know
thanks

No, sorry. There are also no shops which offer the same range (pharmacy, drug store, sandwiches, cosmetics etc.). Watsons and Cosmed are like crappy Boots-lite. What specifically are you looking for?

Thanks Taffy for quick reply …charles worthington mousse for curly hair or Curl creme ( pink) boots own… i can’t find anything that works, i have a mass of curly hair… or i’ll just have to keep a hat on …

There are now huge chain pharmacies (some open 24/7) popping up all over the island … be aware that most drugs are issued by hospitals and doctors after a visit …

Pharmacies have mostly OTC drugs and everything you need from diapers to milk powder, BP devices, thermometers …

I think you’ll have difficulty finding those products here (not a lot of naturally curly locals). Might need a trip to HK/Singapore where there are larger Western populations.

There are several chains -Sasa, Vivo, etc- that offer foreign products. If you are close, go to Gongkuan and have a look at the cosmetics stores there. I’ve seen mouse, gels, conditioners for curly hair there.

I’m not a girl so I have no idea if this is what you are looking for, but there seems to be quite a lot of Charles Worthington stuff online: goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?21009054943287
