What beauty products should I buy in America?

Off to the States next week and wondered what, if any, makeup and beauty products I should take the opportunity to stock up on while I am there?

All suggestions gratefully received!

Not beauty products - but melatonin for sleeping and jet lag. They sell it over the counter there. Here you can't even get it on private prescription for sleeping (as opposed to anything else)

Do a search this question gets asked all the time.

La Roche Posay do a couple of good things you can’t get here. Depends on your skin type and what you need of course,
but I like Double repair moisturiser. It’s oil free and contains niacinamide, which is a great skin ingredient. There’s also a hydrating cleanser in the range I really like

Thank you! Tips much appreciated. Melatonin would be particularly good as I usually have problems sleeping.

Try Walmart as certain products and make up cheaper there than in the UK. I stocked up on Berts Bees stuff and Almay make up last year.

You can buy all sorts of medicines over the counter there you can't get here! Melatonin is a good tip.

Randomly Boots No 7 was incredibly cheap in either Walgreens or Target in the summed, I can't remember which it was.

I usually stock up on neosperrin antibiotic cream, big tubs of painkillers, ranitidine etc.

Sally Hansen nail varnish is pretty cheap too.

Apart from that I find most things on a par price wise now.

I like Secret gel deodorant which I don’t think yo can get here.
