@AloudAlot never had an issues with customs, I think it’s about £10-£15 shipping fee from what I can remember though.

this is the one I use 😊

www.farmaciaenandorra.com/shop/retirides-crema-tretinoina-30g

This is where I get mine too - it usually takes 2-3 weeks to be delivered. They usually send you a tracking link in the confirmation email.

Spain and most recently in Dubai for about £3.50. Could only get 0.5 though.

@DreamItDoIt is it called the same in Dubai?

Unreasonablyannoyed · 02/03/2023 23:05

I was using Skin and Me but moved to Dermatica for the hydroquinone in my prescription.

SmallGeezer · 02/03/2023 23:09

Yes @DreamItDoIt can you share where from in dubai please 😬 and the name of the product? Thank you!

Bought in Jumeirah beach in a pharmacy called Faith Walk Pharmacy but I'm sure it's available all over.

Will post again as for some reason my post isn't showing the photos.

I bought it in a small pharmacy in Jumeirah Beach. It was 16 aed and is called Acretin 0.5% (0.05% Tretinoin) by Jamjoom Pharma. It's labelled fir acne treatment.

Lentilweaver · 03/03/2023 08:32

India. No good to most of you but if you have friends or family in India, it's very cheap and OTC, so you could ask then.

I cannot recommend tret enough. I wish more women knew about it and could liberate themselves from the trap of expensive skin creams and Botox. I am 51 and have 0 wrinkles.

Farmacia Tristaina the Spanish one spelling might be a bit wrong I did Dermatica for ages but I was wasting a least half with the short expiry time

I’ve just done the online assessment but it doesn’t tell you what’s in the tube so how do I guarantee it’s got tretinoin in ?

I had the same issue as well - but I specifically asked for tret in the form you fill out, and they sent it.

I think this is them just trying to get you to buy more - there's no good reason why their formulation (in an airtight pump bottle) shouldn't last more than a month.

I think many people pause their subscription and use it for 6-8 weeks without issue. Remember these subscription companies want you to buy it every month whether you need it or not.

You could email them and ask for it specifically. They should also really give you a breakdown of the percentages of different ingredients in what you are getting. And you could ask them to increase it over time.

Youpillock · 05/04/2023 12:51

It says on the packaging what's in it.

robinsnest1967 · 05/04/2023 12:53

dreamitdoit I'm in Dubai, where did you buy yours from?

Boots sell it. They used to sell RetinA but now it's just the generic Tret. If you ask for RetinA they will know what you are looking for.

Lovanna · 06/04/2023 16:28

Dermatica too as they prescribe from your photos, with regularly review points.

They manage what you need, change the strength and build up treatment over time. Feels much safer and less complicated to have professionals manage this.

A discount code, reusable, not one use.

Try personalised skincare for just £2.90, plus 25% off your next month.

Dermatica. Mine is Adapalene which is a specific retinoid to treat acne. I suffer with hormonal breakouts. It’s also aimed at targeting my fine lines! I honestly love it and my skin has never been better, although I recently had the strength upped to 0.3 and now my face is falling off again!!

Tret’s an acne treatment too. That’s what I use it for and find it better than Adapalene.

I don’t know if your Dermatica formula has anything else in but you can get Adapalene (Differin) from the gp for a normal script charge. I think you have to request the higher strength though as mine was always 0.1%.

Just thought I'd update this thread incase it helps anyone.

I took a chance and ordered from Tretinoin World. I only ordered it last week and it's just arrived today! So I personally recommend them.
