Taz vs isotretinoin (accutane)

[gamma13]

I've often heard that tazarotene is the topical version, and that Accutane is the oral version, but do they have the same effects? I mean, we know that Accutane Mogs is good for removing acne, but in terms of collagen, is it worth it? I'm only looking to boost my collagen; I've never had acne. What are your dosages? Should I stop taking Tazarotene?

Really low dose, also it's meant to treat severe acne, side effects are high and not really worth it for skin

I'm going to stay on the taz, I thought Accutane was the most powerful etinoid and mogs all the others

isotretinoin boosts collagen density by 60%, which i think is better than tazarac since it's considered less collagen affective than tretinoin

Since when is taz less effective than the tret ? This is the first time I've heard of it.

Does isotret still have the anti-aging benefits?

I'll take it precisely for that

Do the anti-aging benefits of isotretinoin mog regular tret?

That's exactly what I'm trying to find out, but apparently so.

Source for that 60%

Ive been looking around and cant see any data to suggest that isotretinoin is better for collagen than topical retinoids or let alone can match them

Is taking 10mg ed for the first months better or would you still go with 10mg eod. I barely have facial acne but some clogged pores and irregularities.
