Not sure if any Aussie girls around but I'm about to order Careprost, Retin A and Hydroquinone from ADC, orders US$100+ shipping is US$15 at present. Does any one need anything atm. Items at cost (whatever it converts to on my CC) and I'm happy to take paypal when it arrives provided you aren't ordering sheep stations and we keep order smallish (don't want to attach customs). I have ebay account (4900+ 100%). I'll be ordering on Friday this week. When it arrives postage is AUD$7.15 for satchel to you. Cheers Dale.
Hi Jan, Glad to see another Aussie girl here. I did end up putting in my order in on Friday paid by visa. It all seemed quite easy, now have to just wait and see if it clears customs. I only got two tubes of the Retin A so I could be needing another order in a few months. I'll update on how it all went.
Hi Dale, Yeh there doesn't seem to be many Aussie's here. I have trouble with Retin A, so I have been using La Roche Posay - Redermic 3 times a week. Let me know how it goes with ADC, I want to try the Retin A Gel. Where else do you buy from overseas. I have been using Bulk Actives which I find is great. The postage and the dollar conversion at the moment is a killer, sadly it's what we have to do. Cheers Jan
Hi Jan, they do have a micro gel at ad campaign I think. I'm plodding away with a 0.01% that I stupidly bought, I'm mixing it with half moisturiser. I get a very slight peel the next day but not bothersome. This week I got a pimple, so funny, im 53 and my skin is very dry, haven't had one in years, I guess that is what they call purging. I've ordered tubes of 0.25% and 0.50% and will try to work up to the lowest one every night. Are you using a Vit C serum, if so is it DYI or branded. I'll let you now how my order goes. Dale
Hi Dale,
I do use a DIY Vitamin C serum - http://www.skincaretalk.com/a/kassys-diy-vit-c-serum-recipe, is the recipe I use, but I add rosehip seed oil and HA to mine. I have been using it for about 6 months and I can see the difference in my skin tone. I have 0.05% retin a from the skin specialist, but I had a really bad reaction,
so I am trying the La Roche Posay Redermic at the moment, not at strong, so you don't get the same results. Yeh, purging, who would have thought that with all cleansing, toning, exfoliating, we do that we could still get a pimple.
Thanks for keeping me posted, I will be interested to know how fast the order comes through. Jan
I've been using 0.1% Retin A cream for about 6 weeks (twice to three times a week). I've been buffering it with a lotion (50/50), apart from a couple of minor breakouts and slight peel its all been going well. I started on the 0.25% last night, it isn't as light as I am used to, its quite a thick cream but it spread OK. I'm hoping to move to every night, also picked up a 0.5% cream to try.
Hi, I already placed order with ADC but will also post here next time I order with them. I read somewhere that you can get freepost on your birthday month. I found ADC efficient and no issues with CC or customs.
Yes it's true Goldcoaster free shipping on your birthday month. They will email you the promo code and its valid for 30 days. Unfortunately I wasn't able to use mine because they have been out of the things I need So glad to hear things went well for you....I didn't have any issues either, which is always refreshing, as you hear all sorts of stories, and just never know until you give it a try yourself :cheers:
Hi another aussie here. What does adc stand for and has any one tried new directions australia. I had a squiz at it and you can purchase your lactic acid 100ml for 5.50 but then postage bumps it to $17
Thank you for the quick reply gymrat ... I will go post an order now. I was hoping someone would tell me if they were reputable... he he heeee I only have one face

Oops sorry for the rude late reply Gym rat.. I made the lac acid lotion as per the instructions here and I use it on my face and it has been remarkable in removing brown marks and evening out tone. I would go as far as to say its much better for me than retin a.
It has moisturised and reduced wrinkles too and i get so many people comenting on how good my skin looks.. pretty happy i have to say.
Where did you order your products from to get $10 delivery. My order from ADC only cost me $15 for some reason. I used a load and go card for my purchases there and had no issues and received my parcel in 3 days
trishah, when are you ordering again? i want to get a few stuff. any1 in Australia who wants to buy?
