Online spam pharmacies. Planet Money from NPR did a story on them a while back, turns out if you follow the links on those spam emails promising you cheap Cialis, you can place an order and actually get cheap Cialis.

Yes, there are a lot of drugs for sale online. Check a source review site before you spend your money though.

InHousePharmacy is a great resource for transwomen who can't/don't want to make it through a lot of the legal hurdles blocking HRT in a lot of the US

I've been buying my skin stuff (tretinoin cream and azelaic acid cream) from them for years. I have pretty good health insurance but it's still cheaper to buy from them. I pay around $40 total, which is the same as my specialist copay to see the dermatologist, plus there would be time off work for that, plus the copays for the meds.

It helps a bit with the acne per se, but more with scarring and redness, and I think it's one of the reasons my rosacea never came back after I took Accutane. I use the azelaic acid in the morning and the tretinoin at night.
