Do you find you are using up the tube in time for the next one to arrive?
I received my first one on something like the 18th November, my second one was sent out around 3 weeks later. I’m still using my first one and in about a weeks time they’ll be sending out my third one!
I know I have missed around 3 nights (random nights where I was either tipsy and washed my face but forgot or when I just fell asleep without remembering to use it), but it just seems like there’s a lot more than 30 days worth in the tube? I use one pump. I don’t use it around eyes nose or mouth so using 2 pumps would not be beneficial as I’d get it everywhere.
Just curious to hear from anyone else using it. I know I can pause or stop my subscription or something but I really want to know if anyone manages to use it all up in the suggested timeframe.

I think the tube lasts longer than a month and to save money and make sure you can meet the expiry date, it’s best to increase the days between deliveries.

Is there an expiry date? I didn’t realise!

Yes, I find it takes me more than 30 days to use up each one. So now I'm more generous with my application and when a new one arrives, I start using that and swap the old one to use on the back of my hands.

Thanks, i thought I’d try and log in and postpone for a few weeks only to be told it’s already been dispensed and is ready to post out to me tomorrow!!

It’s totally sealed and airtight in an opaque container, I’m not remotely concerned about expiry dates (well, considering I’m using it consistently and not leaving it in a drawer for 2 years between uses anyway), it’s more that I was curious as to there being a single person going through a whole tube every 3 weeks!

I’ve just extended my January delivery to March, I’ve already got 2 unopened. I’m not concerned about expiry, most skincare is good for at least 6 months unopened. I can’t use it every night as even after years of using tret, I get flaky and red around my mouth and nose. I reckon one tube last me at least 6 weeks.

I use three pumps of mine I do whole face and neck. I roughly finish 4 days after the new one has arrived

@doadeer I don’t know why but I thought it wasn’t supposed to go down the neck!! No wonder I’m not using as much
Although from the other responses it seems that there are others who don’t use it up in the time frame either and that’s what I wanted to know.
Oh well, once the third one has arrived I will make sure I extend the length of time before then next one comes.

I've set my frequency to 56 days (I think that's the max), but I often end up postponing delivery even further. A tube lasts me ages.

I'm not sure! I mean, I don't have any reaction at all but I think I have quite resilient skin. Do what's best for you but just make sure your Spf covers all neck! I wouldn't want my face to look 20 and my neck to look 60 🤣

Hi OP, I'm finding the exact same as you- and that's me using 2 pumps per night! I don't pay much attention to the expiry date, but it means I'm really starting to build up a collection, so maybe I should.

As an aside, I've been using it for well over a year and still get periods of really flaky skin but I have noticed a difference to my skin, so I'll persevere!

Maybe I’ll up the usage to 2 pumps per night and see how I get on. This tube is honestly like a bottomless pit - you watch me use the last pump up tonight now

I use tret on my body as well as my face so easily get through my tube every month.
