Hi All,
I am a 24 year old guy, I have had puss filled pimple like things o my face starting about 20 days ago, I went to the doc and she wrote this medicine, now I went to walmart and walgreens and they both charge, $175 for this, is there a place I can get this for cheaper?
Also, is it 03% or is it 0.3?
Because, online, I can find 0.3% for like 90 bucks...
Help...

Is th online requiring your prescription ? So many of the online drug companies are scams. There was a news special last year here in Atlanta, they ordered 20 or so medications online, only 2 were actually what they were suppose to be.

Adapalene is the generic Differin, which is a form of topical retinoid (a vitamin A derivative) and the percentage is 0.03%. Tretinoin (retin-a) 0.025% or 0.050% are also good alternative, which retinoids usually cause temporary redness, peeling, dryness, and swelling. Although it is possible to find it online for $40 or more, it's true that many online shops which sell mdeicated drugs are scams so it is difficult to actually find the genuine product.

You can speak with your dermatologist about receiving the generic brand Adaferin Gel, which should be less expensive, instead of the brand name version.

Its o.3% I use it and it is expensive unless your insurance covers it I only paid 25 bucks. It does work but you should only apply it to affected areas not on your hole face because it will make your face dry out. Hope this helps
