ako naman na dati pa jar jar lang binibigay ng derma ko hindi nya sinasabi dati na retacnyl gamit nya, one time nagmamadali assistant nya wala ata naka pack sa jar eh bumibil ako ng meds ko instead na jar ang binigay sa akin ng derma ko binigay sa akin yung buong tube ng retacnyl 0.25% then I pay much higher nga lang compared sa naka tube, napansin ko pareho lang ng texture and everything na nilalagay nila sa jar. kaya instead na bumibili ako sa kanya ng tretinoin nun sa labas nalang kc sa mercury mura lang sa kanya may patong na 150 pesos.

may I ask how much yung binibili mo sa mercury sis?. sakin kasi below 500 sa derma if yung nasa tub eh

Ako naman I'd switch to commercially brand kasi ayoko ng pumunta sa derma once naubos yun tret ko. :)

kaya siguro yung assistant ng derma ko ayaw magsabi ng pwede isubstitute dun sa tretinoin nila.. sabi ko aalis na ko, kapag ba naubusan ako ano pwede kong bilin tret sa pharmacy, ang sagot sakin, usually kasi kapag nasa abroad, nagpapabili pa daw talaga sa clinic nila. hmmmm

^may mga ganyan talaga na derma ngayon. Yung dati kong derma nagdedecant ng cetaphil sa ibang lalagyan at binebenta as "cleansing milk" for half the bottle of the normal local cetaphil, full size ang price niya. Yung nurse niya mismo nagsabi sakin na cetaphil lang daw yon. Meron din akong nabalitaan na derma na nagpapa-gawa ng mandelic acid sa local chemist and then selling it as decanted M2, at M2 price din!

Pero in fairness naman to other derms, meron din naman talaga sa kanila na may sariling chemists who formulate their products. Like Belo, kilala ko yung nagmamanufacture ng products sa clinic niya and for some other derms din.

Buti na lang mabait yun derma ko. She recommended a commercially brand of tret without hesitation and sinabi na yun mismo ang gamit nila sa pharmacy. :)

^ naku mga sisters I agree ako sa inyo..gaya nga nung one time sa derma ko bumibili pa ako ng hypo liquid soap sa kanya mahal sya 100 for a small bottle na pang travel ang size then later ko lang na found out neutrogena liquid soap lang pala yun..kaya nga nung nadito na ko abroad di na ako nagpapabili dun dati si mama ko nag ti tyagang magpunta pa dun sa derma pabili lang na ipapadala sa akin..yun pala meron mabibili sa labas at available sa mga local mercury /pharmacy.

I agree kay sis @ WickedWitchOfTheWest  big names derma like Belo / Calayan may chemist sila kc iab ang dating ng mga kutis ng mga celebrities nila makikita mo glowing ..na di natin kaya ma achieve kahit bumili pa tayo ng commercialy brand sa labas.  ;D

^ Ako more than two years of using tret and now whiteheads na lang sa nose and area below my lips. I can also go out without wearing powder or foundation, just sunblock. May konting marks dahil sa pagprick ko ng whiteheads but overall I like my face now. Sana tuloy tuloy na to.

^ hindi naman sis, wala ng cystic. if may pimples man sobrang liit lang and it didn't bother me at all. deadma ko lang sya. :) I'm also taking ACV for 2 months to cure gerd so hindi ko rin sure kun isa sa reason yun. Sabi nila nakakatreat din daw ng pimples ang ACV.

Madami ka bang pimples sis? Try to apply topical meds lang and patience talaga.

Yep, I still do. I don't think tret is capable of suppressing acne induced by hormonal imbalance.
