Can you buy retinol without prescription in Holland?

Hi everyone and happy new year! I've seen lots of threads about people buying retinol without prescription at pharmacies in Spain. Can you do the same in the Netherlands?

Tretinoin you mean, I presume, as retinol can easily be bought in shops, same as in the UK. Tretinoin is prescription only in the Netherlands.

If you're in the UK try Dermatica, an online dermatologist service that's completely above board and relatively affordable.

If you're in the Netherlands just ask your huisarts they usually will give a prescription without much hassle. Otherwise one of the aesthetic clinics will sort you out, you can get a repeat prescription from them for a single consultation fee, anywhere from €80-120, often free if you're getting something else done there.

Yes that's what I meant! Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know
