No you don't need a prescription. I but it over the counter in Spain. It's called retirides.

@CottagePieLaLaLa Not sure .. I think it's a Spanish brand name for tret. All I know is when I asked for Tretinoin I got a blank face and then when I asked for retirides they knew exactly what I wanted.

Just show them this picture in the pharmacy, point to the strength you want, I always stock up when I'm in Spain. X

I buy my tret from Alldaychemist.com. I've been buying from them for years, it's very well priced, different strengths and fast postage. Would definitely recommend.

@CarpeVitam yes, I normally order 3/4 tubes. They last me about 12 months, they also have long expiration dates so they are all good to use.
I've been ordering from them for a few years now had about 3 deliveries. Always super fast, well packaged and long dates. The more you buy the cheaper it is per tube.
I did have a bit of a wobble on my first order as they want bank transfer but it was all good. Most of my friends order from them too so we do big orders to cut down on postage.

Another site I've heard is good is www.unitedpharmacies-uk.md/A-Ret-Gel-01-Tretinoin-01-20g-p-1628.html
But I haven't ordered from them.
