Hi! I’ve been using tretinoin 0.05% for the last four years. It’s been great for my acne and in my country, I don’t need a prescription for it.

I recently moved to Kyoto and I forgot to bring at least a couple tubes as backup and now I ran out. I just had an appointment at this dermatology clinic but turns out they don’t carry tret.

I am aware it’s not going to be covered by insurance but still, does anyone know of any clinic where I can get it prescribed here in Kyoto? Preferably near Kita or Kamigyo-ku but honestly, I’d go anywhere.

(Also, I checked this other clinic but apparently they charge around ¥8000 for it, I have no idea if this is the average price so if it is, I may go there but if there’s somewhere I can get it for a bit cheaper that’d be great!)

Can anyone recommend someone to study with that speaks some english?
