Retin-A Cream is Still Available

Retin-A Cream is still prescription-only and is available in the generic form called tretinoin cream. It comes in three different strengths: 0.025%, 0.05% and 0.1%.

Retin-A cream

Generic versions of this should be available at this point in time. Your other alternatives are Renova cream or Retin-A Micro. These both contain Retin-A as well and come in cream form.
