Honestly, I wondered the same at first—why does everyone rave about tretinoin when tazarotene is newer and more powerful? After struggling with adult acne, I tried both. Tretinoin was gentler and easier to tolerate, especially during the first few weeks. Tazarotene gave faster results for texture and fine lines, but it was harsher on my skin. It really depends on what your skin can handle. I actually found a great routine through dermacarehub.com—they have helpful info and products that supported my skin during the adjustment. At the end of the day, it's not about what’s “newer,” but what works best for you.

Same, peeling was a nightmare on tret

I’ve been on taz for one month so far and not a single flake, no irritation, no redness. It’s like a miracle. I use the cream version
