    Default Shipping medical cosmetics products to Canada

    Do any Canadian ladies have a recommendation or experience ordering medical cosmetic products to Canada? I'm interested in tretetoin (retin-A) and bimatoprost/careprost (Latisse). My current retin-A prescription costs me $110/tube and my dermatologist charges $250/bottle of Latisse! I like both these products and their results but if there's some way to get the same thing for less I'd prefer to do that.

    I'm also thinking about using www.alldaychemist.com and having them ship to to a proxy shipper like www.shipito.com to see if they get it past customs that way. These aren't illegal products to ship with a prescription.
    Toronto-based, very rough draft, constantly asking for input!

    I didn't know alldaychemist doesn't ship to Canada, I'm glad you said something before I tried to order. There's no other pharmacy site for Canadians?

    I'm currently using Tatuo, which is 1% retin-A and 2.5% benzyl peroxide and my prescription costs CAD$111.10 to fill at the Fortinos pharmacy. I don't really think I need the benzyl so I wanna switch to straight retin-A, good to know it'll be that much cheaper once I switch. $45 isn't close to what ADC charges but its much less than what I'm paying

    Tia, there are other pharmacy sites. They're Indian-based where our trademark and patent laws aren't recognized so you can usually find a prescription drug for much less. Thing that aren't pills, like retin-A and Latisse, aren't sold on those sites. I went to go order from ADC the other day and I asked their online support person about shipping here, they said its a customs problem and not worth it for them to do anymore. I'd love to know what it was exactly so I find out if a proxy shipment will work. If it does we should do a big Canadian order...

    I'd be down for that! I had wanted to try the Careprost from ADC aswell (just like Latisse).
