Skin & me trial, £3.50

Not sure if it's worth the advertised price of £50

But you can currently get a nice little bundle of 3 items for £3.50 delivered.

I've not used it myself yet, waiting for it to arrive but for 3.5 quid it's worth a go.

Link here for anyone who is interested

It is a subscription deal but you can cancel once recieved.

Has anyone ordered Tretinoin from tretinoin world? It appears you can just buy a tube for £26 but wondering if it’s a scam website.
it’s just tretinoin so even if tube is same size as skin and me/dermatica it’s pure product so you can mix with something like the ordinary moisturiser for a lot less than the subscription service.

I buy it from here (cheaper):

How do you apply the tret if you buy it in tubes. Do you mix it with moisturiser or apply directly ? I am tempted to purchase this way

JofraArchersFastestBall · 10/07/2022 09:46

I've just started with a tube from Tretinoin world (was slightly concerned about the site - but delivery was fast and the tube looks legit. I'm just not in a financial position to commit to £25/month forever at the moment! I think one 'neat' tube will last me 6+ months, so much more affordable)

I'm using the 'sandwich method'! That just means that you wash your face and apply a layer of basic moisturiser, then wait for 20mins until it's fully dry. Then a v thin layer of tret (maybe 1/2 pea sized), followed by another layer of moisturiser.

I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, and only twice a week at the moment. I think I'll work up to every other day. But so far, so good. Minimal irritation and no peeling or break outs.

Bubblepanda · 10/07/2022 14:22

Thank you so much for sharing your routine think I will give it a try

Cotswoldmama · 10/07/2022 14:48

I've been using skin and me from when they first started. I really can't recommend them highly enough. I found one of my dosers a bit strong and I emailed and they sent me a lower strength straightway for free. It's also really easy to pause/ change delivery date or cancel on the website. I usually find that the doser lasts longer than a month as I have the occasional nights off and if you keep twisting you can get a couple of extra doses out! I used to layer on so many products but now I use hardly any. I use the skin and me cleanser at night then my doser and if my skin feels dry I use the skin and me moisturiser or some cerave moisturising cream but quite often I just use the doser as I have oily skin. In the morning I use Garnier vitamin c serum and the Garnier ambre solaire SPF 50 anti dryness then I apply my make up. My skin has never looked better. Here's my code if anyone is looking for one:

£600?! I might share mine if people are using it as it's more money for the charities

I know.

Does anyone know if I am able to partly switch that to charity donation because it would take a long time to use it all!

This is coming up at £24.99 for me. I followed the original link. Wondering if it's expired or I'm doing something wrong!

I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now and think I’m going to stop the subscription. I don’t think it agrees with my skin. I’m 46 and not had a spot for years but have two huge ones right now and that really upsets me. Plus the product has started pilling? No matter what moisturiser I use on top it ends up in little bowls.

UnicornMadeOfPinkGlitter · 14/07/2022 07:50

Balls not bowls

InTheShadeOfTheFigTree · 14/07/2022 11:40

Yes. Gave my DD awful spots so she stopped using it for the same reason.

Fat2fin · 14/07/2022 13:01

I've been using this for 4 weeks and my skin is the best it's ever been!

I'm 37

I think I'm on 0.06 after 2 years

Cotswoldmama · 18/07/2022 21:25

I'm only on 0.027 tret after 2 years I did go to 0.03 but I started peeling so went back down. My skin has never looked better, there's no going back for me!

So sorry, only just seen this! I order 3 or 4 at a time, so I'm only paying for P & P once, maybe twice a year (it comes up as cheaper than that for me too). Still works out as a massive saving on a Skin & Me subscription.

Pibbitypobity · 31/07/2022 17:53

How do you order outside of a subscription?

Letmedowneasy · 31/07/2022 18:17

Wow, @Rubygloomy that's amazing! You can change to charity donation when you log in to your account, I'm not sure if you can split it between your credit and charity but you could have a month or two free and then donate...the charities are Women's Aid, Mental Health Foundation and Young Lives vs Cancer.

I've been using it for 3 months and have loved the effect on my 49 year old skin, i was expecting the cleanser and moisturiser but realised that you have to click on a button to get it.
