Not sure for how long. Shipping is normally $20 for most orders. Free shipping is not seen very often on any order.

@SilleeMee How far out are the expiration dates on their Tretinoin and Careprost? I want to order but also want to be mindful of the freshness range so I don't overbuy.

BTW, how are you doing with getting to the .1% Tretinoin on a nightly basis? I'm doing a little better but still not there - wondering at this point about just sticking with the .05%. ADC has a nice deal on a .05% Tret and Careprost combo.

@JeanLouiseFinch I'm not there yet either. I've been using the 1% since November and still can't use it more than 3 times a week. I wonder what's better, .05% every night or 1% 3 times a week? 🤔

Same question, @Texasmouse. I'm thinking consistency would be better. From what I've read, the .05% is the common concentration for anti-aging and .1% is more for severe acne. I do have a couple tubes of .1% so I'd probably use the .05% nightly and pepper in a night of .01% here and there until they expire.

I usually buy enough of both tret and Careprost to last a year without running into expiration date issues. They get close but only one time have I run into having a couple of tubes of expired tret in my stash towards the end of the my year.

The combo tret/Careprost is convenient but I believe if you buy them separately it will cost less. Check me on that b/c I haven't looked at their prices lately. Also check out the Tretin brand of tretinoin cream .05%...comes in a 30g size, costs about the same as the Retino-A brand cream and works the same as far as I can tell.

As for the .1% ...I've been using the Retino-A Micro gel (gritty stuff!) for about two years now. I've worked up to using it only twice weekly but I'm not sure I want to continue using it. It makes my skin a flaky mess for days on end even after all this time. To me it's just not worth the trouble of having to exfoliate more than I want so I'm going to stop with the nonsense and just use the .05% cream. I've come to the conclusion that my skin will never adjust to the .1% so I'm saying good-bye to it.

Figures. I rec'd my order about a week ago!

Love AllDay chemists. Placed an order about a week ago. Your going to have to have patience. It takes about a month to receive your order but it's worth it. I ordered the retin-A 0.025 cream. All of the fastionistas use them.

I'm working on an order and in the checkout process I'm being asked my doctor's name and phone number. Why? Csn I leave that blank and still order?
