A relative who just came home from Saudi Ariabia gave it to me. She bought it for only $6 U.S Dollars in a pharmacy in Saudi.

There is no indication of its strength. But im quite sure it is 0.025% and look at this " Tretinoin 0, 25mg" . A comma instead of a period. Is it like that in other countries? I haven't opened it yet. Wanted to get opinions first

A lot of real pharmaceuticals manufactured in India look like that. Janssen Cilag is a big international pharmaceutical company. It looks legit to me.

Prices vary wildly depending on what country you buy it in, so I'm not at all surprised generic tretinoin was only $6.

Yep its real, It's identical to the 0.025% that i was prescribed in the UK about 2 years ago.

 

 

The only down slide is the gel has a habit of balling off an hour after applying it.
