@drabby6: 1. Tazarotene is more potent than tretinoin and it works well for wrinkles as well as acne. 2. It is superior to tretinoin in 2 categories: improving deep wrinkles and psoriasis. 3. It is not any better than tretinoin at smoothing fine lines, clearing acne, and may even be worse when it comes to hyperpigmentation. 4. Because it’s more potent you may see skin results faster BUT you’re also more likely to experience redness, peeling, and irritation. 5. While both tretinoin and tazarotene are not recommended during pregnancy, tazarotene is considered category X with studies showing clear evidence of birth defects. Tread with caution ⚠️ using tazarotene if you are child bearing age. Which do you use: retinol, tretinoin or tazarotene? #tazarotene #skincare #dermatologist

Tazarotene was way less irritating than Tretnoin. Tazarotene 0.1% with azelaic every night is king. I also noticed I no longer get the extreme dry eyes i was getting when on tretnoin, and my neck does not get burned as a brown man

I have super sensitive skin and could NOT tolerate Tretinoin not matter how slow or how much sandwiching I did. Switched to Tazarotene and it’s been SO MUCH BETTER!!! So weird.

I’m 40, been using .025 tret for about 3 yrs for its anti aging benefits. So, you think it’s worth switching?

I’m so confused with why Derms consider tretinoin to be less irritating than tazarotene. I have rosacea and I could not tolerate tretinoin to save my life.😂 but as soon as I tried tazarotene it’s completely fine and I’m on the strongest dose. My theory is that because tretinoin goes into all three receptors and tazarotene only goes into two it makes it less irritating than tretinoin. But that’s my theory. cause I’ve been hearing a lot of people say the same thing online.
