I am paying $64 for a 20 gram tube of retin a since my insurance will not cover it. Several have said they get it from medsmex. I ran across this site, medsmex4you. They have a 40 gram tube of retin a (twice the size I have been getting) for $14 and shipping to US is $5.65. I am a little leary about ordering from another country but wow on the savings. Let me know if you know anything about this site.
Oh yea, I just ordered the Obagi starter kit from agelessapple. Cant wait to start,. |

medsmex4you.com appears to be a search site.
I'd stick with the more frequently used sites like medsmex.com (be sure to use a 1x use CC#) or alldaychemist.com |

sherryt1258,
check the concentration of retinol per gram
500mcg/gram is equal to .05%
250mcg/gram is equal to .025%
anything less is not worth you time or money |

| You might check for other threads on purchasing Retin A outside of the country. I have used medsmex and feel their product is the real thing. However, I, like some others, had fradulent credit card charges shortly after using my cc to order from them. I will order again but will use a different payment method. It does appear that they are trying to fix the situation and some people have ordered with no problems whatsoever. |

| Inhousepharmacy.com is where I order from and have for about 10-12 years now. Trust them completely and have never had a problem and I have ordered many different things, many times. You can get a tube for around 29.00. |

I second AllDayChemist. I bought from them twice without any problems whatsoever and to my surprise, received the products really quickly.
On another note, I have also just bought the Obagi Nu-derm kit. It's good to know another person is starting around the same time. I will keep my fingers crossed that it will work out beautifully for both of us.  |
