How To Use Tocoderm

Is Tocoderm from Mexico the same as Ratin-A purchased in Mexico and used for the same purpose, namely for wrinkles on your face? I have used Ratin-A for 20 years but purchase Tocoderm but now forgot if it's the same as Ratin-A. ## I bought Tocoderm crema 0.05 in Mexico as a substitute for Tretinoin Cr 0.05.

retinoic acid cream 0.050% ## I believe the retinoic acid cream you are referring to comes from Mexico.

I would lilke to know more information on tocoderm acida retinoico ## You can buy it in Mexico, for a lot cheaper and it's available over the counter.

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?
