Retin A Tretinoin etc

[elaine1976]

Hi,

I'm wondering where everyone gets their Retin-A. I've seen old threads on this and the links don't work anymore. I get mine from a Derm contact from back when I was a dermatology student (before the kids and leaving uni to return one day....). Mine is £22 for a 20g tube of 0.1, though I'm wondering if it could be sourced cheaper at this strength and in a quality reliable- definitely authentic- good brand? I have tried buying off ebay twice and each time got a fake product. Have I got as good a deal as I am going to get?

I read on here that Pharmacy Geoff is very good. Sadly they don't deliver overseas or I'd be ordering some.

I've ordered from here. Just waiting for it to arrive.

Gosh looking at the cost for these including international postage it works out at £30 per tube. I think I'll just stock up on a few tubes from my dermatology connection. I have a few friends who I 'provide' for through this. They'll be pleased to know we're getting the best price for the authentic product.

Because of a dermatology background I have good access to Retin A. I did sell it on eBay, but eBay pulled my listings (I don't really understand why, they allow international sellers to sell it). Apart from continuing to provide the Retin A to the customer base I have already built up, I don't really know what you do with the stock I now have. Does anyone know another site I could sell on that doesn't have these odd double standards that seem to discriminate against UK sellers?? :/

What brand are you selling?

A-ret Tretinoin. It's the best brand in terms of the bioavailability of the vitamin A.

Does anyone know why eBay seems to allow international sellers to sell this but not UK sellers?

I'm after the Obagi, I get much less irritation with that one.

Concentration plays a huge part in that. Mixing in moisturiser can dilute to avoid irritation and can cause the Retin A time be delivered to the skin slowly which is easier for the skin to adjust to. I did this till my skin adjusted. I've not tried Obagi, but they do a great vitamin C :)
