Hi

just a quickie. I am trying to find a reasonable priced retin a cream online but can not seem to find anywhere. I would like to order tow tubes to start off with (0.025 to start off and either 0.05 or 1.0% to use after my skin has gotten used to the 0.25%

What i would like to know which would be the second strength to get and also where can i find a reasonable priced retin a cream. I found retin a gel from united pharmacies for £3/4 but i think i would be better with the cream as it will be more moisturing for me and as its for my eye area i think that is probably better. Please could anyone help

Many th anks

.05 is your next strength, followed by .1. I get mine from All Day Chemist.

I second All Day Chemist. That's where I get mine from. Shipping is $25, but definitely worth it anyway and I purchase a lot at one time.

I purchase from ADC as well. There have been some security issues with this site, but personally I have never had a problem.

It is better to order in bulk as the prices are so reasonable and shipping is $25.00.

Hi all, does anyone know if AllDayChemist ships to Canada and if so what type of shipping method they use? If they ship through UPS or private courier I'd have to pay a $50 duty charge to get it, assuming it would even make it past customs.

If not does anyone know a reliable, safe and cheap website Canadians can buy Retin-A from?

Well spent all night still looking for a cheap generic retin a (shipping posts a bit exspensive for me from ADC Sad

) United Pharmicies Uk sell the retin a gel fro £3 / £4 and shipping costs vary from £5 to £20 depending on how quick you want it ..... but they dont have the cream Sad

Wondering if i should try the gel???? but im also needing a good eye cream to use especially if im going to start the retin a. what would be a really good eye cream to use. My issues ar crepiness under the eye (very bad) and crows feet. Oh and lines above the top lip (can i use the eye cream on this area too?) Im guessing my eye cream will eed to be a good hydrating and moisturising one?? The other thing i wondered on is if i there were alternatives to Retin A i could look at that have had good results by ladies and gents on here. I dont mean creams that have got retinol in as i need something stronger. I read an article on green cream ( i think that was what it was called). any help always appreciated Smile

I haven't done Green Cream lately...as I've been doing Retin A..But I am thinking of ordering it again for my eye area. I had a really good experience with it for the under eye area and the lips lines (and kinda plumping out the lips). I'm not sure why the weaker retinal would work better than the Retin A..but for those particular areas (under eyes and lips) ...it did well for me.

I wanted to order retin-A from ADC a year ago. They said that, due to custom issues, ADC does not ship to Canada anymore. They recommendedwww.reliablerxpharmacy.com. The prices are comparable, maybe marginally higher. I ordered from them without problems.

Green cream was my first foray into retinoids and I loved it. It really primed me for moving up to retin-a.
You may want to consider a product from Nanci at NCN for under your eyes if you're looking for plumping and moisture retention. Toby started a thread on it and from what I am reading it is SUPER under the eyes. Of course it's good all over as well but my bet is it would make a great under eye treatment if you just want to use it for that.

This women, Jennifer, does group orders from ADC to save on shipping and for Canadians who can't order from them directly: http://careprost-eyelash-growth-serum.blogspot.com/p/order-updates.html

She usually gets a whole bunch of people once a month and she orders it all at once to save on shipping, since shipping is $25 regardless of the order size. You should e-mail her if you want to order from her. I've done transactions with her before and she is very reliable - she is also very reputable on MUA

It seems they don't ship to Canada anymore either
