Retinol body

Thanks to wise mumsnet I stocked up on tretinoin on holiday in Spain as my facial retinol product.

Any ideas what to use on body?
Neck and decolletage as well?

It seems like using a facial product anywhere other than face would be expensive, and a lot of the skin on body is thicker.

What's the secret ladies?

I'm not entirely sure whether it's working as it's only a recent purchase but on Amazon you can buy retinol serum from holly berry and it's a massive bottle for £20. I'm using it every other day under regular body cream in the hope that it works.

It’s not the same as Tretinoin, and won’t be as effective!

I wish I could get it! I’m uneasy ordering from abroad online.

Here is my routine that I follow:
Morning:
Using water to wash your face,
Sebamed clear face gel,
la roche posay spf
Evening:
la roche posay moisturizer,
Tretinoin (0.1) from skinorac
Sebamed clear facial gel

Oh absolutely @Bignanna but the cost to smother my body in tretinoin is pretty prohibitive!!

I use Paula's choice products and they have a retinol body lotion which I alternate with their niacinamide body lotion. I only use them on my chest, arms and knees which is where I am seeing wrinkles coming through, I use normal body lotion everywhere else.
