Using tretinoin from online provider

45 replies

AllstarFacilier · 29/01/2025 08:58

Hi,

I was prescribed Tretinoin by a local provider to prevent wrinkles. I’m running out of the cream and was going to order more from her via GetHarley, but it is £120 and when looking around online I can get it cheaper. Can anyone recommend an online provider to prescribe and provide it, please?

I've been getting mine from AllDayChemist in India for quite a few years. Really cheap and not dodgy. I get Careprost from there as well, to make my eyelashes longer (they are drops supposed to treat glucoma).

Do you get the 0.03% 3ml Careprost?

Hi, yes I do. You apply it along your top eyelash line (not inside), kind of like eye-liner. Really cheap compared to the other lash growing products and they probably use the same ingredients. 1 bottle lasts ages, but I normally get them in packs of 3.

Buying tret with crypto lol.

It should be OTC I agree.

I buy using credit card from skinorac

@AllstarFacilier Can I ask how you are getting on with your tretinoin? And what is the brand name you got?

Louise121806 · 22/02/2025 22:45

I use Dermatica which is about £25 per month, but you can postpone your dispatch date so I usually only use one tube every other month. Tretnoin it self is not expensive and can be bought over the counter in Europe quite cheaply. But it requires a prescription in the UK so that pushes the price up.

Not the person you asked, but I buy Retirides if that's any help?

Thank you @Rogerisourlodger 😊

Update: I bought from here. Took a week to arrive. I paid by PayPal and paid £90 for three tubes with delivery. Thanks!

Hi - I've just ordered from them, tried with one tube first, then will order more if all goes ok!

I have been getting careprost for my eyelashes from skinorac

notnorman · 17/03/2025 14:15

Can you buy it from Spanish pharmacies?

UraniumArthur · 17/03/2025 14:19

I buy from Skinorac. I use the Amazon voucher option, which has always worked fine for me.

CharlotteCChapel · 17/03/2025 20:32

There's a reason tret is prescription only. It can have very nasty side effects. You also don't want to use it if you're intending on getting pregnant.

You have to start off slowly with 0.025% - its a fantastic product when used correctly

If you need anymore I’ll share a link with you as I’ve only just paid about £45 plus around £3 postage for 3 tubes!! £90 is definitely better than you was quoted before but you can get it cheaper and it’s legit and the proper stuff. I’ve been using it for ages and found it so much better than what I was using and spending 🙄 before
