> Dinah--you can use retin-a all over for wrinkles. I get mine for cheap from an online Indian pharmacy. Some people pay full price (insurance often won't cover prescriptions for patients over a certain age) in the US or use a Canadian pharmcy to save funds.I don't think Indian products are worse than domestic products but nevertheless it's a good idea to check if it is from a approved manufacturer that is controlled (FDA, EMA etc.) and does apply good manufacturing practice. Some big pharmaceutical companies do not like any imports...
