I know only botox will get rid of my forehead wrinkles but retin-a seems the popular choice.

Had a look at ADC and the choice is large.

Gel?

Crem?

Strength?

Anyone out there give me advice what I should start with?

Many thanks.

If you have not used Retin A before start with the lowest strength.

Cream if you are dry, RA can and usually does dry your skin.

Gel if more on the oily side

Micro Gel is time released so many find it less irritating.

I know some use inhousepharmacy mesmedex (I think that is the spelling?) unitedpharmacyonline.

I have ordered from ADC without issues, they do have a California based pharmacy with a toll free number, but ship from India!

Retin-A is prescription only in the UK, you need to purchase outsider the EU. Botox is not the only solution for forehead wrinkles, you can make great headway with TCA peels or dermarolling plus gentle products to boost hydration levels and collagen production. If you do go the R-A route, vitamin C is a great partner active.

Thanks, I tried to buy from ADC but during checkout I get an error message, I sent them an email but no response, very frustrating, my only other choice is to buy from somewhere like inhouse and the prices are around triple that of ADC.

Maybe give ADC more time to respond? Not every company has someone on e-mail standby, there is a time difference and even different national or local holidays.

you can actually buy tretonin (all strentghts) from Sarah Vaughter- owndoc.com website. I am in uk and ordered it with no problems , think her site is Prague based, but it came with no problems.

Suggest you have a check at her website
