Alternative to Spanish Retirides from Belgium??

[vaz119]

I currently use Retirides 0.025% which I bought in a pharmacy in Spain.

My dad lives in Belgium and is coming over...

Is there an alternative? Does anyone know the name?

Google reveals Vesinoin but says the ingredients is Tretinoin.... Is this the same?

Any help much appreciated!

Not sure of its the same as Retirides but Tretinoin is retin-A, I'm in the US and my Dr prescribed Tretinoin (0.025%), its brilliant stuff.

It's prescription only in Belgium. I'm in the Netherlands and assuming they have the same prescription product as in Belgium (likely), that's currently unavailable until September as there was a recall.

And yes, tretinoin is the active ingredient, retirides, retin a are brand names. Have a look at Dermatica in the UK. They're an online dermatology service, you fill in a questionnaire, discuss with a dermatologist and they provide you with a prescription cream made to order for a set amount per month (think it's £20) which you can stop and start whenever you want.

I get it from Dermatica, 0.025% and it's £22.95 for a month's supply.
