What are the best websites to buy retin a micro? I've seen a few online pharmacy websites listed on this forum before but the reviews are mixed and confusing. I live in Canada but would rather buy it online than see a dermatologist (because it's really expensive).
Thanks so much in advance! |

| I purchase from AllDayChemistdotcom. I ordered last year, received my retin A micro within a month, even before my check cleared. I need to place another order and think I will use my debit card this time. Shipping is $25 flat rate but I ordered 5 tubes (have 1-1/2 left)and it was a huge savings considering what I would have had to pay in a US pharmacy. All Day Chemist is located in India. |

I use 4 Corners Pharmacy....have never had a problem. They're more expensive than alldaychemist, but shipping is included (I think they're based in New Zealand). I have always gotten my order in about 10 days from the date I ordered.

I've heard about alldaychemist but I also read some bad reviews about them. It doesn't help that the person who is hawking that site seems s/he registered yesterday and has only 1 post.
I just want to make sure the retin a micro i am buying is the real authentic stuff. |

| I have purchased from All Day Chemist twice now with no issues. I got authentic products (I also buy my generic latisse there), and have had no issues. Hope that helps! |

| I've purchased retin A from All Day Chemist and InHousePharmacy with no issues. Products are fine and seem to work as expected. |

I live in the U.S. and was very happy with getcanadiandrugs.com
Their customer service was fantastic, price was awesome and I received my order within a week.
There are many Retin-A-a products and they happen to carry what I use: Retin-A Micro Gel 0.04%. Also only wanted the brand Ortho Dematologics-no generics.
I didn't check online reviews first. Hmm. Well, for what it's worth, I would give them 5 out of 5 stars. |

I'm not "hawking" any site. You asked a question I answered. Sorry I did. And as for the 1 post I have, I just registered and everyone has to start with one post. |

Thanks for sharing, priusgal. ADC seems to be a favorite with EDSers.  |

I went to the website but it seems to have closed down?
What's the difference between 0.05 and 0.04 or even 0.025%? |

Hello,
I'm also from Canada and I have not been able to buy from All Day Chemist. They do not ship to Canada. The only way to do is to use a mail forwarding service from the USA. From what I recall All Day Chemist won’t even bill at a Canadian address.
For retrin A Micro I can get the Rx from my family doctor and it cost 29$ at my local drugstore. So I don’t believe it worth all the complications to get it from an online drugstore. Plus a little of Retin A Micro goes a long way.
How ever I might do that complicated process to get Latiss (Carprost) since other wise it is very expensive. |

Personally I would start with the lowest % as Retin A can make your skin very sensitive. I have 0.04% (I believed it was the lowest % for Retin A micro) and I used every other day for short contact. Short contact is motorized my skin, then apply Retin A after super, than before I go to bed (3 to 4 hours latter) I rinse off and apply night crème. |

Yes, 0.04 is the lowest %. I have dry skin, apply before I go to bed. My skin is fine overnight and not dry in the morning.
I use it in the winter months only and about 4 times a week. It is enough to make a difference with nice, smooth skin texture and lessening of fine wrinkles. My skin can't tolertate much more, unfortunately. It does get red, irritated amd too dry with more frequent use.
It's a balance. I use as often as possible without stressing my skin. |

Has anyone been able to a reputable, cheap source of Retin-A Micro lately?
ADC have been out of stock for a long time, unfortunately.
Everywhere else I look, they charge insane amounts of money [$100+ for a single tube etc]. |

Any news on this?...
Unfortunately the Canadian healthcare system is flawed. I've been in a waiting list just to register with a family doctor for the last 3 months.. Just saying...
I'm not sure why a topical wrinkle/ acne cream needs regulation anyway. I'm not looking to score prozac or anything... |

It needs regulation because like any medication its open to side effects with people, can be abused and over used and there are contraindicators where it should not be used. The other thing is that nowadays most people try to self medicate and end up with horrible results as a consequence. Just because something is a topical or cream doesn’t mean its any less powerful than any other kind of drug.
