Yeah i wouldn't buy from abroad! Retinol is very strong and the proper stuff is prescription only. I know that The Ordinary do some retinol (retinoid? I don't know the difference!) which are supposed to be good?

Hi, I am a nurse prescriber and sell this. Visit any aesthetic clinic and you should be able to have a consultation and buy some. If you inbox me your area I should be able to recommend someone x

Retinol derivatives have a medical use and I hate the way it's abused for aesthetic purposes, ie wrinkles. It's POM status reflects its clinical risks.

Anyone worried about wrinkles should use a UV block and avoid smoking instead.

Retinoid 2% from the ordinary is what I am tripping now. They say it is more effective than their retinol but gives non of the irritation that retinA/Tretinoin - the prescription stuff.
