Expect to pay between $30 and $80 for a one-month supply of Retin-A cream (tretinoin), depending on the strength (concentration) and quantity purchased. Generic tretinoin is generally less expensive than brand-name Retin-A.
Chain pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, and Walmart typically offer competitive prices. Their prices often fluctuate due to sales and promotions. Checking their websites or pharmacy apps for current pricing is recommended.
Independent pharmacies may have slightly higher or lower prices than chain stores. Consider contacting several local pharmacies for price quotes before purchasing.
Using a prescription savings card or coupon can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. Many websites and apps provide these, and your doctor or pharmacist may also have resources.
Your insurance coverage heavily influences the final cost. Check your plan’s formulary to see if tretinoin is covered and what your copay will be.
Always discuss pricing with your pharmacist. They can provide specific information on available discounts and programs relevant to your situation.
