A friend mentioned that she buys her Obagi and Retin A from Elite Depot. I found one complaint about them. Has anyone else used them?
They take Paypal and offer free shipping in US.
Hhhhhmmmm...... |

Hi Gretchen, have you ordered anything from medsmex recently? Did you receive your order? I have heard a lot of bad things about that website since they changed ownership. I need some more retin a and don't know where to order it from. I used to love ordering from medsmex. I am having a hard time finding renova cream 0.025%. I tried four corners pharmacy but, they don't have it. I do not want to move up in strength. It seems a lot easier to find 0.050% retin a cream. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thank you. |

| I bought .05 retin a cream from ADC after years of buying the renova .05 from medsmex which i loved. I havent bought from medsmex since all the problems there. I like the cream from ADC but thought that possibly it clogged my pores. I purchased one tube of the .05 gel with the order and i'm glad i did. I like the gel the best. It is not like the alcohol based gels which medsmex sold. It is more of light emmolient cream. It is really nice and doesn't sting or anything. I just ordered 12 tubes a few days ago and that is what i plan to use from now on. Greg |

By the way, medsmex is really expensive. A 30gr tube of renova .05 is $31 + $14.95 shipping. That is ridiculous, it used to be about $12 per tube.
On the other hand, ADC 20gr .05 retin a cream is $3.50 and the gel is $2.52 + $25 shipping. You can buy a lot more product from ADC than medsmex and no worry about getting the products either. Greg |

Hi Greg, how do you use up 12 tubes before they expire? That sounds like a lot. Would you trust the formulation of the 0.025% cream from ADC? I really need a new tube of retin a. Do you think it is worth it to move up in strength? I just don't know what to do anymore. If I thought I would receive my order from medsmex, I would go ahead and order. By the way, I just checked the medsmex website and shipping to the USA is $19.95. |

The Tubes are only 20 gram so they are smaller and the expire dates were in 2012 on the last batch i ordered. You could always keep some in the fridge too if need be. I don't think there is anything wrong with the cream from ADC i just thought it might be clogging my pores but that could be my imagination. They make a gel in .025 too. At $3 a tube you can experiment. If your skin will allow you too move up then do. Otherwise just use .025 twice as often and the affect is the same. Greg |

| I just visited the Elite Depot website. I noticed they have Obagi Nu-Derm Tretinoin Cream 0.025%. I'm not familiar with Obaji at all. I guess Obaji sells their own tretinoin to use with their other products? |

| A word of warning. I placed my order to ADC on Feb 18th and today Feb 25th the credit card company called and said my card had been used in China and couple other places. This card has not been used in months. I was sure not to use a bank debit card for fear that my bank account could be drained. ADC has a secure credit card payment system so i would assume that someone inside the company sold the number. Greg |
