When I lived in Scotland in the early 90's, I was part of a trial which was for the treatment of chronic dry skin conditions. The capsules worked a treat but ever since I’ve not been able to get them. It has been the only treatment that has worked for me.

That's interesting
You can certainly purchase borage (starflower) oil capsules in most health shops.
I don't think the bigger high street health stores like H&B stock advocado oil capsules or advocado oil itself…not as yet anyway. If you run a search for the UK it comes up with nothing in the way of links for shops selling advocado oil capsules either. But you can find advocado oil, but I could only find one for food grade Virgin(ie not carrier oil for use externally) it is expensive at £11.95 for 750ml:

But you could just take a small amount a day, as if you were taking capsules and the 750ml should last you ages.
You might have to take them this way: borage capsules and advocado oil by the tsp….or alternatively use in salad dressings. Though advocado oil is supposed to be a good source of vitamin E, I would also consider taking fish oil capsules and Vitamin E capsules (400iu) alongside the advocado oil and borage oil. That way you will get a good balance of fatty acids and Vitamin E to protect them (internally) from oxidation.
You could contact this NZ advocado oil producer and ask if they have any agents/stockists in the UK as an alternative, to see if the price is more competitive:

Hope this helps.
