i bought some generic retin-a
however the texture is runny.....its also a different colour from the 0.01% i used before
is this normal to experience different textures and colour with lower percents of retin-a? |

Different generic brands use different base creams/gels, so you may see some difference in the texture and color. Should still have the same active ingredient (tretinion).
Where did you buy it from? |

I use the 0.1% gel from Alldaychemist and it is also different to the 0.25%. Do you realise that this is much stronger than the 0.25%?
I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with this product. Just monitor your skin though because you're jumping from the lowest to the highest percentage. I've been using Retin-A for about four years and I still peel a little if I use the 0.1% gel too often. |

| I would not order from this company again. I ordered Latisse (for growing eyelashes)Nov. 11th. It's Dec. 2nd, and I still have not received my product. The postage was $25. After I placed my order I received a tracking number, but when I tried to track it, there was no record of my item with the carrier service. The company said to wait and check again. I kept checking, nothing. Finally I emailed the company that it wasn't appearing that my order was ever shipped. They wrote back that there was a glitch and it should be on the way. Again, tracking number wasn't showing up and no package. I continued to email the company. Finally yesterday Dec. 1st they said that there had been a problem with all the orders placed and they were reshipping it from New Jersey warehouse regular mail. It will be another week before I receive it regular mail. The company should have responded sooner to this and at the VERY least, considering I paid $25 postage and it's already so late, mailed it Priority Mail or Fed Ex'd it. Also, since it's Latisse, and once you stop, the eyelashes slough off, the beautiful eyelashes that I've spent a year growing out and that cost money and time, are now sloughing off. Will take a long time to get them back to this point. I would definitely order from any other online company besides this one. |

reliabexpharmacy also emailed me that weird tracking number that didnt work for ANY of the links they provided
it took a week to arrive which is fine but i agree that how they treated you was unprofessional |

I will add that I ordered some tazarotene from alldaychemist and I am fairly certain that it was a dud or fake. Since I had used the real thing from a prescription before, I could tell the difference.
The Retin A substitute, however, appears to be the real thing, not sure.
