Cheapest Ways to Get Tretinoin Legally
Here are your best options, roughly from cheapest to most expensive:
Telehealth Services (Best Value)
- Curology – subscription includes consultation + custom formula, often ~$30-40/month
- Apostrophe – ~$20-25/month for tretinoin after a $25 consultation fee
- Hims/Hers – competitive pricing, often runs promotions
- Keeps (for men) – similar pricing to Hims
Generic Tretinoin with GoodRx
- Get a prescription from your regular doctor, then use GoodRx or RxSaver coupons at pharmacies like Costco, Walmart, or Kroger
- Generic tretinoin cream can be as low as $10-25 per tube this way
- This is often the cheapest overall if you already have a doctor
Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com)
- Tretinoin 0.025% cream listed for around $10-15 with a valid prescription
Tips to Save More
- Ask specifically for generic tretinoin (not Retin-A brand)
- Costco pharmacy often has the lowest cash prices
- Compare prices at GoodRx.com before filling
The GoodRx + existing doctor route is usually cheapest if you can get a prescription easily.
