This marks the end of week 2 on nightly Tazorac .05% cream for my moderate acne, and so far...nothing. Had a little bit of what looked like a typical hormonal breakout. Otherwise, no peeling, redness, dryness, or purging. I have a lot of stubborn closed comedones on my chin that have been there for over a year, and those show no signs of surfacing.

I was on Tretinoin cream for a week before starting Taz, and although I experienced peeling and dryness, I also saw that comedones starting to surface with that. I switched to Tazorac because a derm told me she sees better results with it than tret, but now I'm wondering if I made a mistake.

Any encouragement or advice would help me.
