Galderma, maker of Differin, received approval to sell Differin Gel (adapalene 0.1% topical) without a prescription at the same prescription strength. The cost of the non-prescription version of Differin is less than the average copay most of our members would pay for the prescription product.
When Differin is issued as a prescription, your patient could pay $40 or more for the medication, depending on their out-of-pocket benefits. When purchased as over-the-counter (OTC), Differin might cost as little as $15.
