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; starts around $20-30/month with a free trial
- Apostrophe – Tretinoin prescriptions starting around $20-35/month including consultation
- Nurx – Similar pricing, often around $25/month
- Agency – Competitive pricing, sometimes cheaper than others
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 $15-30 for a tube that lasts months
Discount Pharmacies
- Mark Cuban's Cost Plus Drugs (costplusdrugs.com) – Transparent low pricing on generics, sometimes very cheap
- Walmart or Costco pharmacy – Often have low generic prices
Tips to Save More
- Ask specifically for generic tretinoin (not Retin-A brand)
- A small tube (20g) lasts a long time since you use very little
- Compare prices on GoodRx before filling anywhere
GoodRx + a telehealth consultation is often the sweet spot for overall lowest cost.
