mousecrazy Posted January 22, 2006 #1 Share Posted January 22, 2006 I realize this is an odd question, but I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I'm wondering if it is possible to get Retin-A (a skin cream) in St Martin without prescription. And if so, what is the price? It is available here with a prescription, but is available without (and much cheaper) in Mexico. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasina Posted January 22, 2006 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2006 http://www.stmartinstmaarten.com/pharmacy/main.html Ask them about the regulations on the French side as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinad Posted January 26, 2006 #3 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I do know you can purchase RetinA in Aruba without an RX. It is about 25.oo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousecrazy Posted January 26, 2006 Author #4 Share Posted January 26, 2006 http://www.stmartinstmaarten.com/pharmacy/main.html Ask them about the regulations on the French side as well. Thanks Clasina. I emailed the Phillipsburg Pharmacy and they replied with the following: $8,- for french product 0.05% strength,$15 for original retin A 40gram 0.05% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clasina Posted January 27, 2006 #5 Share Posted January 27, 2006 Philipsburg Pharmacy is a really good store, and it's conveniently located (I think they even had a "how to get there" map on the website). Nice, helpful people there. Glad I could be of help, and I appreciate your reply. BTW, how does the price compare to the price of the prescription stuff you buy at home?

I haven't purchased it locally for quite some time because it is very pricey. I just checked online and it looks to be going for approx $25 for a 20gm tube...compared to $8-15 for a 40gm tube in St Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sWineO'Clock Posted May 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Very old post but thought I'd add my 2 bits. I easily purchased Retin A without prescription from the pharmacy on the beach in Phillipsburg. I had to ask at the counter but they had 3 different strengths. Easy!

joetop2467 Posted May 19, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 19, 2018 That’s great to know. We just booked the 9/16 Allure to Eastern Caribbean this week. I wanted Western just so I could get Retin-A in Cozumel. Now I’m glad we’re going Eastern. Where exactly were you in St. Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'sWineO'Clock Posted May 21, 2018 #13 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Around $20 US per tube. Lower strength was a little less I think, higher strength a few bucks more. How much was it? Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
