Is it possible to get Retin-A face products in Cozumel

[beshears]

I use face products that have Rein-A in them.  Is it possible to pick up any products in Cozumel, and where, and would it be cheaper than in the states?

[mafig]

I haven't in a few years, but I always did at various places.

At the port....

At the American Drug Store.....

At the Mega Store pharmacy (the best prices when I last purchased).

 

They come in various strengths.

cozumel drugstore . com Bobbie is the owner. she has the best prices, Bobbie is Canadian so no need to speak spanish and bonus, she keeps her A/C on at night when many other pharmacies do not. Heat is bad for meds and creams. She is very helpful and stocks 3 strengths of Retin-A at very reasonable prices.

Marazad16, thank you for that information.  I was just with some of the others that will be traveling with me tonight, so each day is getting us closer to the cruise, and I can check this out. 🙂

Very welcome! We sail Wednesday and Cozumel is on our itinerary too! Will be paying a visit to Bobbie. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

Thank you Marazad16.  I heard back from Bobbie, and am planning on taking the email with me, so I know exactly where they are located, etc. 🙂

Just reached out to her myself.  Thank you for the information.

Do you remember what the Retin A cost? Or a round about estimate for how much cheaper it was to get it there than in the states?

I have an order waiting for me to pick up next month.  I'm getting 6 tubes for the price of 4, which was the current promotion.  They are 20 gram tubes at $10 each.  This is for the generic.

Can anyone tell me if I need a hard copy of a prescription from the doctor to purchase things in this store?  Like eye drops?  TIA

No RX required for any of the meds they stock.  Strangely, they only require a prescription for Mexican citizens per information I received from the pharmacist upon our last visit to Mexico.

We went to Cozumel Drugstore last summer - very nice people, great prices.  At that time they mentioned that if you contacted them ahead of time they would have your order ready and you could just run in and pick it up.  We spent about 45 minutes there, debating over the Retin-A, and also looking at inhalers.  Now that we know, I would just contact them ahead and run in.

 

We have also bought inhalers at Mega ($4/each! ) but not the Retin-A.

Mega downtown has products with Retin-A. And definitely cheaper then US.

Question about the inhalers?  Can you tell me what kind?  My mom has COPD and uses 4 different inhalers daily (not sure off hand what they are) and would be happy to pick some up for her....  THANKS!

We bought Albuterol inhalers - the brand we get here is Pro-Air.  The pharmacist put them side by side and showed us that they were the same.  Cozumel Drugstore has a website, so you might look to see if they have other brands/medications.
