How do I buy prescription tretinoin cheap?

My insurance won't cover my tretinoin prescription, and it would cost me $300 for a tube. How can I purchase prescription tretinoin for a LOT less than that? Is there a legitimate online pharmancy?

Thank you for your question. Retin-A will help build some collagen, but not reverse genetic trends or weight loss and facial fat loss. Severe sagging needs fillers and or surgery and laser resurfacing if appropriate. I hope this helps!
