The most-discussed retinoids, priced in Australia
Over-the-counter retinols and retinaldehydes. Prescription products are not here — no online store sells them.
This list ranks retinoids by how often skincare communities on Reddit discuss them — not by how good they are, and not by what suits your skin. Only the ones an Australian store we track actually stocks are shown, so every row here is something you can buy today.
Ranked by how much they are discussed
We match each product people mention to a store’s own page by hand, and check the match; where we’ve landed on a different variant than the one named, the row says so. Picks no Australian store we track carries — and ones sold out everywhere — come out before the list is numbered, so the order follows the discussion but the positions only count what you can actually buy. A dropped pick is usually a pharmacy brand our stores don’t carry, not something discontinued.
