I live in Brisbane Australia and am beside myself as I have been told by 'Johnson Pacific' that my precious 'Retin A' cream 0.5% manufactured by Janssen-Cilag has been globally discontinued. 'Retrieve' does not compare for me- it is made with a different base product, I have tried it and it does not work for me the way Retin A cream does. I have been using Retin A cream for over 20 years, originally for pimples, which is great- but the way it keeps my skin looking so clear, fresh and unmarked is amazing (I stay out of the sun)-i depend on this cream so much; does anyone know what the equivalent could be here in Australia or Over-Seas. Thanks. ## Retrieve is the next best thing, there is a brand called SteviA or something along those lines but it's hard to fin...

I have used Tocoderm acido retinoico in the past, bought it in Mexico. Can I find it in the US? ## would like to buy aacio retinoico. Can I buy it from Mexico? ## WANT TO BUY TOCODERM ACIDO RETINOICO 0.050 ## In the U.S, Retina-A is only available by prescription, and it is not legal to purchase it from another country and bring it in, unless it was prescribed for you there, in which case you can bring in a 3 months supply. But you must have proof from a doctor and provide that proof to customs. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin irritation, redness, and burning. This site does not manufacture, prescribe, nor sell any medications. Is there anything I can help with?

a topical cream ## Where can I buy Epitrel (generic for retin-A) ## This is used to treat acne, or prevent wrinkles. The FDA warns that it may cause side effects, such as redness, itching, burning, and flaking. Are either of you on any other medications?

A dermatologist prescribed Retin A for my skin for exfolient and regrowth of new skin. It has worked wonders and my skin looks alive again. This was yrs ago and I now buy Epitrol from Mexico. Does very well and I will continue to use it since people tell me I do not look my 74 years. It never caused rash or peeling as I used it per instructions. Also I use a cream on top. ## Hello, Nonna! How are you? I am so glad that it has worked so well for you. However, due to the risks, I can't encourage anyone to obtain it elsewhere and use it without their doctor's approval. It can cause the peeling and skin burning as side effects, according to the FDA, which could result in scarring and worsening of some skin conditions. What type of cream do you use with it?

Growing up my family didnt have the resources for dermatologists, and expensive late night infomercial acne solutions and at 14 years old my acne was horrible. Luckily we lived 20 miles from the Mexico border (Baja California) and after my mother visiting her favorite pharmacy a nice lady working the counter introduced me to several generic Retin-A creams that were only $5 for a 40g tube; one of them being EPITREL 0.05 g. I'm now 38 and my complexion never looked better and I do not have one wrinkle or breakout on my face. Only use at night before bedtime! Wash, exfoliate, moisturize. 3 steps! Retin-A has also been shown to GREATLY reduce the appearance of stretch marks or newly formed stretch marks over long term use but scars not so much. For acne it is best to apply a dime size a...

We would like the instructions for using the above product because it is in Spanish. Thanks ## Hi Sam, The english translation for this med is Retinoic acid, more commonly known as Retin-A (Tretinoin); which is indicated as a topical treatment for acne. I don't know what percentage of active ingredients it contains, but the instructions for using this cream state that you should apply it once daily, and only at night, after washing your skin with mild soap and water. Applying excessive amounts may cause skin irritation, so I'd just be sure to use it conservatively if your skin starts itching or has any burning sensations. Additional details on dosage and administration can be found here: dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=0ee4fccd I hope this info helps! ## I have me...

I have been using the .025 version of this cream for a year and wish to get more but am not traveling to Mexico this year (unfortunately). Do you know of a reputable web site where this cream can be found? thank you. ## Hi Sandy, Based on my research, Retin-A (tretinoin) is reportedly a US brand of the same topical cream that your seeking. The only thing is, this medication has to be prescribed by a doctor or dermatologist here in the states, so you wouldn't necessarily find it online w/ out a valid prescription. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Retin-A Details I hope this info helps!

retinoic acid cream 0.050% ## I believe the retinoic acid cream you are referring to comes from Mexico. Retin-A would probably be the closest equivalent in the U.S. if that's what you are searching for. Retinoic acid assists communication between cells, which helps encourage aging cells to continue their renewal process, and rebuild collagen and elastin to prevent the appearance of aging skin, wrinkles and fine lines. Retinoic Acid is used to treat various different cancers and severe acne. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Retin A Details I hope the info helps!

I purchased epitrel at Cabo and can't read the instructions in spanish. How do you apply and how long to use leave it on your face? ## Epitrel contains the active ingredient Tretinoin, it's Retin-A. It is mostly used to treat severe acne. The directions say: Apply a very thin layer, at night, before bed. You only need to use a very small amount. Wash your face in the morning with a good cleanser, then follow with a good moisturizer. Read more: Is there anything else I can help with? ## Is there an expiration date. I have some that is 10 years old. unopened. ## can i use epitrel in conjunction with oracea
