when i started using tret it had nuked my skin barrier ( started with 0.05% everyday ) intense peeling and redness around my mouth with dry fucked chapped lips , all my friends were asking me wtf is wrong with your face bro ?
now about 4 months later one of my friend literally said " bro your skin is literally reflecting light like crazy wtf , do you apply some chemical ? "
i gatekeeped and just said its cuz i quit smoking he cannot beleive me he is sure that i use some sorta chemical ( lol fuck normies) he is mirin my skin now

just stick through it bro it is worth it , tret has the power to make your skin elite like literal glass
make sure to use spf 50 each and everyday ( even when indoors or when its cloudy ) use moisturizer to heal fast and keep your routine simple dont nuke your barrier by adding other actives, ( tret + moisturizer + spf 50 + gentle ccleanser + consistency = glass skin )

How old are you?

I had hormonal acne and did tret for about 2 months and it never peeled my skin or anything, it just never worked

Had to get 2 different prescriptions one topical one oral and it finally cleared up like glass

TRET IS ENOUGH BOTH YIELD SAME RESULTS JUST THAT TAZ DOES IT FASTER WITH MORE PEELING IRRITATION SIDE EFFECTS
Most incels here are impatient, that's why I recommend it, because it works twice as fast

This is what Reddit has to say below

"Tazarotene is 3rd Gen retinoid while Tret is 1st Generation. Both work on all receptors but the Taz has been formulated to go after the main ones that are the issue first, to clear, and then it does go after the rest of the receptors as well, which means in simple terms it “works” or “clears” much faster, while side effects are milder.

Tret is “shotgun” style of blasting away in a large pattern at your skin-hence the increased irritation and redness and burning etc. Taz sort of sneaks up on your skin with its targeted design, so the results are faster, way less irritating, way more effective, it is 3rd Gen after all, and as someone who was on Tret .1% for over a year, twice, then switched to .1% Taz, all I can say is…”where have you been all my life?” Love, love, and more love. It’s the change in the texture of my skin and how much more effective it is in every way, clearing up even more than I thought I had already been cleared, that was kinda shocking. I can’t go back to the Dark Ages with the Tret. I’m sorry, but it is on a completely different level for me. I will say that I only use Alpyn Beauty products with my Taz because I have super sensitive skin and this line is just the bomb with retinoids. The Melt dries matte, and I can go out with just the moisturizer and the C serum on my face now-life changing for sure. I alternate use of both serums as needed, and I alternate the cleansers depending on the season. But I only use the Melt as my moisturizer though they have a couple more."

Taz is actually less irritating than tret as it has a greater affinity for the receptors for cell renewal and repair and lesser for the receptor that is responsible for a large portion of the irritation and inflammation. Tret binds to all of them equally. Many people who experienced irritation on tret experienced little to no irritation on taz. If you can get your hands on taz I would recommend you switch.

so basically better faster results with less irritation thats what taz is compared to tret ? damn its a no brainer then to use taz

Yes the purge is good, meant to happen.

It will stop after awhile though, for majority of people.

Yes the results long term are the same between them but Taz is more aggressive and will give much faster results but WITHOUT the irritation from Tret since Taz is way more selective and doesn't touch RAR alpha. The RAR alpha is the one commonly associated with irritation.

You may as well switch since you are staying with Tret for no benefit at all, only drawbacks. No one should be using Tret.

i had great results with tret , stop downplaying it so much and for some rather tret > taz many people face more irritation and peeling with taz it really is dependent and not some black and white answer for all skin types.
