I tried the ordinary ages ago but didnt like it. Now I have my skin looking good and have a decent routine, I want to reintroduce it. Any recommendations for an oily skinned/ fair, 30 year old women?

MrBennsshop can you tell me what website you use. I would like to buy but don't know where is reliable?

Of course. Here you go: www.farmaciaenandorra.com/shop/retirides-005-30g

Another Dermatica Tret user - I’m back on the 0.25 though as my skin can’t take the 0.5 even after nearly a years nightly use of the lower strength.

Indeed Labs. But it’s prob quite a mild/beginners one. It’s a good price though and I love it.

Another one for dermatica trentinoin. I've used plenty of others the ordinary etc... they are ok but this stuff is really good. I've been religious about using it over lock down and I'm not dashing back to get my Botox done.

Is this what I would use to reduce forehead wrinkles as an alternative to Botox please (not that I've ever used that either)

Those using Dermatica - I’ve just subscribed but I might feel differently about paying £20 a month when I’m back to paying £££ for childcare come September... do you have to have a monthly subscription or can you taylor it to whenever you need more products?

justanotherneighinparadise · 02/08/2020 12:11

I don’t know what it does but I’ve heard Trinny saying you have to use it at my age as you lose something like 30% of colleges through menopause which sounded very depressing.

Skin Doctors ampoules. Also using a vit c and noticing a difference in my skin.

@FindingNeverland1 preventative and can repair previous damage. You must wear sunblock every day with it but you should do that regardless if you want to avoid the Madge from Benidorm look.

babyinacorner if you want you can stop for a month. I use it on my face, neck and chest so get through a whole tube. If I just used it on my face it would probably last for nearly 2. It is worth the money imo.

babyinthacorner · 02/08/2020 15:52

@timetest thanks!

OneForTheRoadThen · 02/08/2020 17:12

@babyinthacorner you can edit your subscription online to adjust how often you want them to send you stuff. You could go down to every 2 or 3 months if you don't use it every night.

Just coming back to say i’m using dermatica and I don’t know if i’m dreaming it, but I think I saw an improvement after 2 nights of using it. 11 lines less noticeable and skin def more glowy and ‘well’ looking!

Mumtumwobble · 14/08/2020 14:52

I’m using Beautypie retinol super booster at the moment and I like it. I think it’s still pretty mild though, but I’m seeing results and have had absolutely no irritation at all.

Delatron · 14/08/2020 18:22

I spent a while building up wityMedik8 crystal retinal 10 which is one of the strongest over the counter ones.

Now on Dermatica 0.05% most nights with no problem. I prefer this to Ketral (Portuguese Tretinoin). Think the niacinamide helps.

silentpool · 14/08/2020 18:25

I'm on Dermatica 0.5% and buikt up from 0.25%. No peeling, its been great.
