Cheapest Ways to Get Tretinoin Legally
Here are your best options, roughly from cheapest to more expensive:
Telehealth Services
- Wisp - Often has tretinoin prescriptions for as low as $25-35 for consultation + prescription
- Apostrophe - Compounded tretinoin formulas, around $30-55/month
- Curology - Custom formulas starting around $30/month (may include tretinoin)
- Hims/Hers - Competitive pricing, often runs promotions
Generic Tretinoin + GoodRx
- Get a prescription from your regular doctor or dermatologist (sometimes free with insurance)
- Fill at Costco Pharmacy or Walmart Pharmacy using a GoodRx coupon
- Generic tretinoin cream can be as low as $15-30 this way
Tips to Save More
- 0.025% concentration is usually cheapest
- Cream formulation tends to cost less than gel
- Compare prices on GoodRx vs RxSaver before filling
- Some Planned Parenthood locations prescribe it at low cost
Bottom Line
GoodRx + a low-cost telehealth visit (like Wisp) is probably your cheapest overall route if you don't already have a doctor.
