I will be in Hong Kong and China over the Christmas period and was wondering if it is possible to buy Retin-A 0.1% over the counter there or is it available only on prescription?

I don’t use RetinA, but it’s rarely a problem buying supposedly “prescription only” medications over the counter in HK. Go to a small independently owned drugstore and they will sell you more or less anything they have on the premises, in fact they'll probably offer you a discount if you buy in bulk ..

I don’t know how popular RetinA is in HK or whether it is "prescription only". But if they have what you want in stock, I doubt they’d lose a sale due to the small fact of you not having a prescription Laughing

Yeah, I bought one without a prescription in a small drug store in Hong Kong, just tell them you want it to treat acne and you want the strongest strength
