Thank you, I will give them a try.  I guess the one I bought was also generic since it was the tretinoin   .01%

@Carolm you don’t need to worry about the retino a. It’s mfg in India, but by Johnson &Johnson. Totally brand name and legit.

@lovestoteac  -  Hi there.  Is the Retin A manufactured in India and is it pretty much the same as purchasing in the US?  I'm completely out and would love to just purchase from All Day Chemist instead of having to go back to doc to get a script.

@LTT1- I just saw the other posts before asking you about it being manufactured in India. Sounds like it's the same as the US.

I was watching a skin care blogger on YouTube and she gets Retin A on eBay.  I looked and there are lots of sellers.

The tubes look authentic.

 

I don’t think anyone has mentioned eBay as a source for retin A.

Real, honest Retin A is by RX only. While there are many products that are ok to purchase & do bargain shopping, prescription drugs, etc. are not a safe bet.

Isn't this still prescription only?


 

 

@DrKelli My Retin A in the tube is obtained at the pharmacy w/ an RX from my derm.

That's what I thought @Shanus.  When I had my plastic surgery years ago on a large scar on my face, I had prescription Retin A to avoid scar tissue build up again--which was the reason for the plastic surgery.

I buy my tretinoin from ADC without a Rx. It's not the brand name Retin-A, but it contains the same active ingredient. Works for me.Woman Happy
