Hi all

I have been watching with interest people using skincare called Tret

I hadnt heard of this until recently, could you tell me where you get it / is it expensive and what kind of feedback you would give about it?

I undersstand its prescription only

I get mine from Skin and Me. I am too nervous to go it alone and work out the tight dose and taper it up myself so this model works for me. Skin and me set the dose and increase it monthly for me based on my needs.

My Basic understanding is that it works like retinol. It can be very drying and you MUST wear sunscreen. Winter isn’t a terrible time to start to be honest.

I think my skin looks smoother now and I have fewer spots too.

I get it from dermatica and found them competitive and also easy to change dates etc of subscription and can cancel really easily. I have a referral code if you want to try the first month super cheap!
I have definitely found my quite deep set forehead wrinkles have softened after a month but you do need to build up slowly.

It definitely works and you only need a tiny amount. I do dermatica and I have 3 unused containers

This is my referral code from Skin and me. I'm 54 been using it since March and it has made an incredible difference to my skin. I don't really need to wear make up.any more. It's the absolute holy grail imo.

Do you know you can change the dates?

I use Dermatica too and love it. I use it past the date on the tube as well so lasts even longer.

I have ordered Treclin from an online pharmacy, it has tret in it apparently.
I had a Dermatica subscription fpr a small melasma but had no idea whether it had tret in it at all, I never saw any ingredients!

I buy it in Spain when I’m on holiday, a brand called Reterides. It’s around €20 a tube and lasts for around 6 months. You can also buy this from pharmacies online.

I buy mine through Klira.
They formulate their prescription with tret and other ingredients specific to your skin type.
My skin is glowing.
I can dig out a referral code if anyone wants to try. £20 off first order.
