Where do you guys get your Retin-A?

My local pharmacies need a prescription to get it, so I'm trying to get it online.

drugstore.com sells over $30 for either cream or gel.

inhousepharmacy's generic Retin-A is still very expensive at $18. http://www.inhousepharmacy.com/skin-care/retino-a.html

and alldaychemist sells at $2!

his '002 Retinoic Acid (Retin-A) 0.025%, 60 mL' sells at $10. is it trustable? has anyone bought from him before? is it gel or cream? i heard gel is better.

minoxidil.com. $10 for 60mL of 0.025%. Once in a lifetime prescription cost of $20.

That is the concentration in studies, but I suspect you can use a lower concentration. Just put 5mL in your minoxidil. I would not risk getting a red scalp. and you'll save money.

Is Dr Lee's Retin-A cream or gel? It looks like a lotion. I would like to just apply it on my scalp, not going to mix it with minoxidil. Is this fine with Dr Lee's ?

Dr Lee's retin-A is actually a liquid solution with an alcohol base.

Dr Lee's retin-A is actually a liquid solution with an alcohol base.

Is that as good as the gel version?

I couldn't say for sure, but his is certainly easy to apply. It comes in a bottle with a dauber applicator top....you just kind of apply it to the scalp like roll-on deodorant.

I was afraid of over applying because this alcohol based solution is easier to absorb than gel i think.
