Dr. B vs Happy Head
Dr. B: Not a subscription: a $19 online consultation, then you fill the prescription at your own pharmacy. Compare it on annual cost, not monthly.
Happy Head: A dermatologist-led compounding service that has stopped publishing what anything costs. Its own FAQ gives one figure - compounded formulas run $59 to $119 a month - and the price for your formula appears only after you have finished the questionnaire.

| Watch out for | A different model. The $7 figure is what a pharmacy charges with a discount card; your total is consult plus pharmacy. | You cannot find out what Happy Head will charge you without completing a dermatology questionnaire first. Every per-product price it used to publish was gone by October 2026; the only number on the site is a $59-$119 range for compounded formulas, and the standalone orals are described as cheaper without saying by how much. Re-checked by hand on 24 Oct 2026. |
