Retin a

[Lottie7777]

I’m wanting to buy some as I’ve morphed into a wrinkly person almost overnight. I’m off to France soon so does anyone know if they stock it in pharmacies there and if so what is it called? Failing that, I’ve had a look on eBay but can anyone recommend a reputable website i can buy it through? I’ve looked at old threads but most suggestions don’t seem to stock it anymore or the postage is prohibitive.
Thank you!

The Spanish and Greek names are on this thread, as well as a website. No mention of the French name tho.

I think the French brand was Avibon which is not available any more :(

There is a place in Blackpool which sells it, cant post a pic ,for some reason, but can pm phone no,
Found it last week on the internet.
Will try to post a pic again

The new thinking is that you need Vitamin A (Retinol) and Vitamin B together, to make a real difference. A Vitamin AB Night Serum might be the way to go.

What I have found that makes a difference is retinol and hyaluronic acid combined. I was using "It's Retinol in the Stars" by BeUniq - I started trying it on the backs of my hands, as I felt they were becoming real old lady hands (I'm 55). After 3 weeks, there was a noticeable difference - applied morning and night - less wrinkled, and definitely looked as though there was more flesh on the back of my hands as it encourages skin cell renewal. I've just finished the bottle (originally bought in the US at TK Maxx for $5) and I see you can still get it on Amazon in the US (at $17).

Sadly I haven't found it yet in the UK. I am now using a retinol/hyaluronic face cream for my face and hands, and I'm pleased with it. It's just one that I found online - 2.5% retinol - but be careful as it's quite strong, and DH found it too much for his sensitive skin (!).

I suggest looking for this combination on Amazon or one of the beauty product websites - you don't have to pay a lot for it, and I've found it to be by far and away the one of the best things I've ever used.
