You can buy Retin A on eBay...without a prescription. I have purchased it, and it works great. It is also dirt cheap.

What seller do you buy it from? Thanks.

I just purchased from All Day Chemist. I sent a postal money order and have received e mails from them updating my order. ADC was recommended from other women on this board. Great prices and so far excellent service.

Just checked goodrx.com. There are good coupons for the 45g tube at both Walgreens and CVS, coming in around $50.

The tara site is posted in the second post above - I ordered 2 tubes of the .025% - very reasonable price plus 15% off with code save15. And free shipping.

Thanks MidNight! (the sister who posted it.)

How do they sell it with no prescription? They're based in California.

I'm guessing,but I think they are based in southern CA and maybe the orders actually ship from Mexico? You know, a shipping facility just across the border?

ETA-I guess I'm going to find out where it ships from. I ordered for the first time, so I will post when it gets here...or maybe someone else knows and will chime in??

Thank you for letting me know. I'll get the cream.
