If you have been using Retin A prescription strength for some time ,can you see a beneficial difference in your skin?

I purchased from Geoff’s with my Debit Card yesterday and today have received an email to say they are unable to process payment and the only option is to a Bank Transfer, which I don’t feel comfortable doing.
Does anyone know of anywhere else that I can purchase Tretinoin/Retin-A from please?
Thank you 😊

that's really annoying. I hope geoff has sorted things by the time I buy again.

Just got an email from Geoffs saying they couldn't accept my debit card because of administrative problems and if I still want to purchase I will have to pay by bank transfer. Could someone PM me a link to another legitimate provider of Retin A? Really keen to try it out now! Thanks.

I will be interested to hear how it goes with Geoff !

I have only done Geoff with my card, not PayPal and it hasn't been a problem. Luckily I have lots of tubes left so it won't be an issue for a while!

NigellasGuest I have got an order confirmation and paid with my debit card although the money hasn't left my account yet. Fingers crossed!

Are you finding you can order from Geoff? I found that a couple of days later after ordering I got an email from them saying you need to do a bank transfer, PayPal not working with us at the moment.
Anyway in the meantime I've now ordered from one of the suppliers linked to above.

I've only ever ordered through Geoff. Yes the prescription strength is way better. Good luck and make sure you stock up on sunscreen.

Sorry, didn't look properly! Have now ordered from Geoffs Pharmacy . Ordered the weaker one to start with - two tubes - fingers crossed for some good results. Was originally going to get the stuff from The Ordinary. Is this prescription stuff definitely better?

Do all the links and suggestions on this thread not work saucy?

Hello, looked on eBay but the only product I could find came from India and unsure abut its providence.. Where else can I buy this stuff? Do I really need to get a private prescription from a dermatologist or can I buy it somewhere (legitimate) online? Thanks!

I am using spf 50

This pretty much says that you can't use Tri-luma long term because of the steroids it content (steroids thin the skin with long term use) and that the melasma will come back when you stop using it:

What kind of SPF are you using?

I recommend THIS as an excellent physical spf for the face - factor 50. It is very light and NO trace of a white sheen. I wear it every day!

I use Treclin too.

It's amazing stuff. My GP took it off me and said I couldn't have it any more. My derm just put me back on it. It still needs to kick in but I had great results with it and was better for me than Retin A as it is less drying.

Caroline Hirons tends to cause a bit of a heated discussion on here.
Years ago I started a thread because after having followed her back skincare routine my skin was transformed. I have pretty well followed it ever since.
However Ch also seems to only promote really expensive stuff and there was a huge ding dong a couple of years ago here when it was claimed that she only promoted products she was 'paid' to promote. She claimed it wasn't true.
I think it's a good idea to read info from lots of different beauty bloggers and find what suits.
