| I'm about to place my first order from AllDayChemist for Retin A .025 cream at a weight of 20 gm. Shipping is $25 and I want to order more than one tube, but don't know how many. If I use it every other night, how long should one tube last? |

Probably 3-4 months. I've got a 20gm tub from ADC that I've used for almost 2 months every other night (neck and hands too) and it's got a bit less than half left.
The stuff ADC sends usually has an expiration about a year out, so you probably don't want to order more than a year's worth. |

| 20 grams would last 6 months for me, for use on face only. |

| Depends on how much you use. I used nightly on Obagi and used about 1/2 - 3/4 gram and 1 tube would last me about a month 1/2. |

It really does depend on the size of the area you're treating and how much you use.
A 60g tube of the gel lasted me 6 weeks treating my face, neck, back of neck. |

| I just received an email from ADC and they said the expiration date on the product is March 2012. |

| I would say that if you haven't used that tube by the expiration date you aren't using it frequently or in large enough of quantities to be effective. |

It will last you for approx. 2 months at least... depending you the usage and frequency.
