anyone use Retin -A cream?

I have been on mine for nearly 5 months now, all seems really good at this end, I never experienced any side effects but I was on a high strength retinol product for months prior to the retin a 🙂

Just wondering how everyone is going with their Retin-A? I started a perscription of .01 gel last week. Haven`t had any redness or peeling yet.

thats really good to hear mel =)

I am doing really well with mine, most likely because I have been using Retinol for so long now I did not experience any flaky skin at all when I changed to Retin-A and no sensation or anything, that is super fantastic because I can`t feel it at all, just like applying any other cream, except I only just use the tiniest bit and really make it spread over my whole face, hopefully some more results to come with time 🙂

hay girls sorry i havnt posted in a while, i had to stop using it, it was very harsh on my skin and it wasnt working on my stretch marks either, im back on an ance gel from my doc and medication, suxs tho cause i still have half a tube and script to use, i get so tempted to use it on a few lines i got on my forehead lol, just my skin cannot handle much atm =(

hope you girls have had better luck? x

Still need to find out about the whole script thing two and not sure if too many doctors will give out a script for that many creams in the one go, and also if we can submit multiple scripts, lol.

Lol unless we do a CP for all of us here and share it amongst ourselves… that could work. We just need to get a list of who else is interested in purchasing the product… I guess I`m in if you want to do bulk purchase.

Depends on your doctor, you would be better off seeing a derm to make sure it would be suitable for your skin and also if you even need it, coz it can have numerous side effects too. The shipping is like $12.50USD and that saving of $17AUD is for 3 tubes so I guess if you look at it for one tube it is only going to be $5+ so I think your right would be a bit of a hassle plus the 3 week wait normally for international orders to arrive 🙁 The pricing gets a bit better if you buy in bulk but why the hell I would want 6 or 12 tubes in the one go is beyond me, hehe 🙂

melmeko – what`s the shipping costs to Australia?
I think given the hassle, I rather just go to the doc and get a script and buy here if the savings aren`t that great. I just need to find the time to get to one. Most of my acne have now healed, and I just have scarring and discolouration, would the GP still prescribe retin-A if you don`t have active acne?

Back again it is in US dollars so atm it is about a $17dollar saving for me, but do they even accept Australian scripts in other countries???
