Hey Tagum, that countdown is moving fast for you now buddy, enjoy it! Creamsilk, is a shampoo, when my wife was in Calgary she was not able to find it, I found it in a tiny little Filipino store here in Surrey of all places, so I would buy it here, and send it to her in Calgary.

So yes to answer your question, you can find Creamsilk here, but you may have to search for it.

@Tagum: Cream Silk is actually a Conditioner. :D And yes, it can be found in Asian stores but it'll be more pricey of course. Just tell your wife there's Pantene in Canada. We also have Pantene here in the Philippines so she knows the brand and would be more comfortable using it haha! ;D
