Cheapest Ways to Get Tretinoin Legally
Here are your best options, roughly from cheapest to more expensive:
Telehealth Services (Often Cheapest Overall)
- Curology – subscription starts around $20-30/month, includes custom formula and provider consultation
- Apostrophe – prescriptions around $20-45/month, often has discount codes
- Hims/Hers – competitive pricing, sometimes runs promotions
- Nurx – straightforward prescription service, reasonable fees
Generic Tretinoin + GoodRx (Very Affordable)
- Get a prescription from your regular doctor or dermatologist, then use GoodRx at pharmacies like Costco, Walmart, or Kroger
- Generic tretinoin cream can be as low as $10-25 with GoodRx coupons
Discount Pharmacies
- Cost Plus Drugs (Mark Cuban's) – sometimes lists tretinoin at very low prices
- Costco Pharmacy – consistently low prices on generics
Tips to Save More
- Ask specifically for generic tretinoin (not Retin-A brand)
- 0.025% cream is usually cheapest
- Compare prices on GoodRx.com before filling anywhere
GoodRx + a regular doctor visit is often the most affordable long-term option if you already have a primary care physician.
