Tretinoin UK

I know this has probably been done to death but can anyone recommend somewhere in the EU that I can order Tret from to get delivered to UK?

I'm using Dermatica at mo but so expensive considering I could get a whole tube of it.

Any recommendations pls?

I've managed to get it on my insurance in the US. Quite surprised by that, although I suppose it could be considered skin medication!

How much are people paying for it in the UK?

I use Skin and Me - £24.99 per tube which is supposed to be for 28 days, but I’ve found that every other night is no different than every day, so lasts me two months.

Skin & Me, And Begin and Dermatica all seem to have regular introductory offers and all seem to have roughly the same formulation, has anyone tried cycling through them to bring the costs down? I'd like to try tret but £30/12ml is steep!

All are similar. And Begin have ectoine which is excellentfor hydration. I'm currently using Monderma for their vegan base.

Dermatica have an offer on at the moment for the first month for £2.90.

You can cancel after that.

They always have an intro offer on and they won't prescribe the strong stuff until you've built up with them over the course of a couple of months first.

You can usually get 0.05% or even 0.1% if you say you've been prescribed it overseas.

Could someone tell me where they have been buying it OTC in Spain please and precisely what product you ask for. I live here and have been denied it. Cádiz provincia has been clamping down on medicines without prescriptions though and you can't even buy cetirizina which is a joke.

I am not sure you can any more
I have a relative there who got me some a year ago but had to try a few pharmacies
I tried last autumn in seville and about 5 chemist's said no
