Cheapest Ways to Get Tretinoin Legally
Here are your best options, roughly from cheapest to more expensive:
Online Telehealth Services
- Curology – Offers custom formulas including tretinoin; subscription starts around $20-30/month with a free trial
- Apostrophe – Tretinoin prescriptions starting around $20-35/month including consultation
- Dermatica – Similar pricing, straightforward process
- Agency – Competitive pricing, often has discount codes
Generic Tretinoin with GoodRx
- Get a prescription from your doctor or telehealth service, then use GoodRx at pharmacies like Costco or Walmart
- Generic tretinoin cream can be as low as $10-25 per tube this way
- Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) also offers tretinoin at transparent low prices
Insurance
- If you have a dermatology visit covered, your copay plus insurance may make it very affordable
Tips to Save More:
- A tube typically lasts 3-6 months since you use a pea-sized amount
- Generic tretinoin works the same as brand-name Retin-A
- Compare GoodRx prices across multiple pharmacies
The GoodRx + Cost Plus Drugs route is often the absolute cheapest if you already have a prescription.
