Where to Buy Tretinoin Cream UK

The skin-loving ingredient tretinoin (a Vitamin A derivative) is often prescribed by GPs or dermatologists to help improve blemishes, minimise fine lines and wrinkles and limit discolouration caused by sun damage. However it is important to remember that tretinoin can only correct temporary changes to the skin like blemishes, and cannot reverse more permanent ones, such as deep wrinkles.

You can buy tretinoin cream uk online, but you should always seek a prescription from your GP or dermatologist first. The process of obtaining one can be done either in person or through an online consultation service, such as the free online one offered by UK Meds. The consultation questions you answer will be similar to the ones you would be asked by a GP or dermatologist, and they are designed to ensure that the medication is safe for your use.

Tretinoin comes in both a cream and gel formulation, so which one you choose depends on your skin type. The cream is more moisturising, so it might suit dry or normal skin, while the gel can be better for oily skin. Whichever one you choose, be sure to wash your hands before applying it to avoid transferring bacteria onto the skin.

You should also be aware that your skin can become more sensitive to the sun while you're using tretinoin, so make sure you apply a high-sun protection SPF daily while taking it. You should also avoid tanning beds, hair dyes and chemical depilatories as they can interfere with the skin's ability to absorb tretinoin effectively.
