I've had acne for about 6 years. I've tried benzoyl peroxide adapalene epiduo antibiotics etc. I Wana give tret a try but don't know where to get it from.

There are some websites online, one being hyperdrug. However it is very expensive on there, one packet of 30 (lasting about a month depending on how much you take daily) is £25 for 10mg. I highly recommend if you have friends or family from foreign countries where you don’t need a prescription, they buy you a bulk of it then ship it over. I got 10packs for less than £100, and shipping from my country is only £30 - arriving in 2 days.

On the other hand, if you’ve had acne for 6 years and you’ve been prescribed creams before then they should put you on the prescription waitlist. It’s about 6 months to see a dermatologist i believe, but its better than nothing and it’s free. That way you also get the required blood tests.
