Can I ask where you are buying it from? I was getting it from E-bay but the sellers have all seem to have been stopped from selling it.

Is this the type of cream you're looking for? //www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Retin-max-30g-Tube-0-05-Wrinkle-ageing-scar-acne-retinol-vanish-Uk-Fast-Post/272094057308?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140122125356%26meid%3D7b99422f737d4839a1aaf91739466f01%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D301837934071

If you search 'retin' on eBay there's a large variety of products to choose from.

Are you talking about tretinoin? It is much stronger than retinol and usually requires a prescription. Tretinoin is the active ingredient in Retin-A.

I live in the US, and I order mine from Canada, as it costs less there than here. But it does require a prescription.

If I were in the UK, and had a kindly GP, I would ask him/her for an Rx, or I might go to a private cosmetic dermatologist one-time for an Rx with a bunch of refills. Then, since the NHS prob wouldn't cover it, I would order it from Canada or see what it costs in cash where you are.
