From my experience... it will be cheaper to go to a doctor, tell her/him that you want Retin-A for antiaging purposes, get the script and buy it. Most insurances will cover it. If you live in Quebec or any other province with a provincial prescription plan, your doctor will have to put a code for "medicament d'exception" and the province will cover it. |

| Yeah, if you get it from your doctor, you can get some insurance covered for it |

| I live in Quebec, and went to a walk-in clinic and asked the doctor for a prescription for Retin A micro, and the drug insurance covered it without problems. It didn't say "medicament d'exception" on the prescription. |

If you don't have private drug insurance in Quebec (i.e. from your job), but are covered by RAMQ for prescription drugs then you have to write the code of the medicament d'exception (for RetinA it's DE20 or DE21) and it will be covered. RAMQ does not cover RetinA micro but covers all the other ones. Private insurances will normally cover both. |

If you haven't found one yet, I recently discovered a site called MagicPharma.com
Their prices are pretty reasonable (including shipping). I haven't tried them yet but I will once I get back from my vacation. Just make sure when you're ordering from them, you use a prepaid visa/gift card because I wouldn't trust any site that doesn't use paypal |

| I get it from my dermatologist and he has his own formulated. He ships it right out of his office. I've used retina my ENTIRE life (used to be for acne) and I've never found one that works as well as this formulation and it's cheaper than others; 70 dollars for a bottle that lasts forever. I have gotten rid of all age spots in three weeks and am now documenting a week by week of changes on my neck. Hope this helps! |

| Hello Talyta Walmart sells Retin-A but you will need prescription from your doctor.... I don't think you can buy Retin-A as over-the-counter drug. I am sure you go to Walmart there in your area? |
