athena you dont need a script to buy online.
However im wary of medsmex now as i had my credit card number stolen less than a week after shopping there. And it was the first time id used my credit card in ages too. So seemed a bit suss to me.
I got the product though to australia in only a week.
Inhousepharmacy dont have renova unfortunately.I trust them more. |

| I wanted to buy from magicpharma but when I got onto their payment page, it didnt have the secured padlock and they're not taking Mastercard, jsut Visa...so ended up buying from alldaychemist, even though their shipping is a lot more expensive. |

Well, if you are in Canada, you can buy at any Walmart store. Inside there is a pharmacy section. That is if you have a prescription for Retin-A. Cost nothing to ship...

| Has anyone recently purchased from Magicpharma.com? I ordered two tubes, but only received one, and it came in a very strange envelope, AND the tube expired in 09/07. Has anyone else had a strange delivery experience with this company?? |

Hi msaries1,
I purchased two tubes like yourself a couple of weeks ago. It seems they post the cream separately i normally receive about a week apart, like yourself i was a little worried and emailed magicpharma, and they responded by saying items are shipped separately,(probably to save us any importing fees) With regards to the expiry date have another look i think you might find its the manufacturing date, on my boxes the manufacturing date is MAY07 however the expiry date is APR09.
Hope this clears things up

My concern is how do you pay for these products - especially Mexico. I know many cc will not allow usage in some countries - on line.
What are the Canadian companies that have Renova/Retin A for purchase? |

| I ordered the obagi brand from amazon dot com. I think it was about $55. Not as inexpensive as other places mentioned here but much cheaper than the dermo. |

Thank you so much. Mars |

| Thank you all for your information. Good to know that when I'm ready to try RetinA I can buy without a prescription. Carolb, I too would be wary of buying any pharmaceautical products made in Mexico. |

I ordered mine from alldaychemist.com, they're based in India and accept all major credit cards. I ordered Retin-A from them no probs, and received it in a very discreet packaging, there wasnt a returns address and actually it had some random name like John Smith, with an address in London so it looked like it was domestic mail.
The CS was fab too! I kinda forgot a line in my delivery address  and emailed them to correct it and they reponded very promptly.
Shipping was quite costly- $20 odd but that didnt really bother me as the product itself was really cheap. |

I'm so sorry to hear this! This is why I am so, so wary of ordering from medsmex. Does anyone else have positive/negative experiences to share? Please share. |

I ordered the .05% strength. Not really sure how many oz's that is. It's a small tube so maybe it's 1 oz. I did a search on yahoo and found that 1 Gram = 0.03527 Ounces.

Where is MagicPharma based? I checked their site out and they have many varieties of Retin-a and Renova products - including the brand mpstat listed for Medmex.
I am thinking of ordering from them. |
