Here's the issue. My dermatologist put me on epiduo. I saw her for a check up to see if the med was working. Well it was not giving me satisfactory results so she gave me some samples of Tazorac. The tazorac worked great, however my insurance does not want to cover it unless I try Tretinoin and Stealing first. The results of the tretinoin are not great but not bad. Is it normal to get a few zits when starting another retinoid ?

Idk..but my experience with using a retinoid..tazorac only twice..is that my skin has been wrecked..2 months have past and the damage remains..I would proceed with caution if I were you..be on the look out for burning and textural/tone changes in your skin..as well as "scars" and indents appearing out of nowhere
