Purchasing Retin a

Abrowneyegirl · ‎03-15-2010

I used to buy my Retin A through Tara Skin Care or ADC as I do not have an RX. Both now do not allow me to pay with a Credit card, only Zella, Google Pay, or another electronic wallet.

Any sources that allow CC payments?

Does anyone have a recommendation?

I did stop buy cosmetics through eBay due to counterfeit problems......

Huh? Retin-A is a prescription drug. You can only get it if it is prescribed to you by a medical professional ( doctor)

I am concerned as to what you are actually getting. Perhaps your sources are no longer taking cc because there is a " paper trail." Something isn't right here.

This drug requires follow up visits and it has some bad side effects. I find this concerning.

Just get an RX from a doctor and be safe.

@Abrowneyegirl Curology may be an option for you. It's one of many online RX skin care sites where you speak with a real provider and get a customized skin care product based on your needs. You can pay through credit card or PayPal. It's a subscription service but you can pick or skip your payments.

The same thing happened to me with my recent Tara Skin Care purchase. I was disappointed but ended up paying with an e-check. It's secure.

Retin-A is a prescription drug in the US. The labeling from these sources are foreign but the product itself is legit. Like you, @Carmie, I used to be leery about them, but took a chance and they are perfectly fine.

@Abrowneyegirl I have purchased from All Day Chemist before and I think @SilleeMee regularly gets hers there. They accept CC's.

@Texasmouse All Day Chemist does NOT accept credit cards. They have a couple of choices, but E-Check seems to be a popular one. I currently have an order in with them. Just make sure you get all the numbers right. I had a probelem with that and it was originally declined.

Due to the Covid situation in India, it's taking about a month to receive orders from them.

@Icegoddess when I ordered, I had used an E-check but I remember @SilleeMee mentioning that they did take credit cards.

As far as how long it takes to get your order, it took that long for me to get mine, pre-pandemic! 😕

I have been ordering from ADC for about a decade and yes they USED to take CC. I just tried to place my order today and no CC option.

I would never get RX drugs from another country, except Canada. They are not regulated and who knows what is in them?

I suppose they are fine, until they aren't. I am not a risk taker with my health.
