Switching From .05 Trentonin (Atralin) To Tazorac?

I am considering a switch from .05 tretonin (atralin) to tazorac and wondering if anyone has done this and what your experience was. Atralin was a godsend for me and worked amazingly well for about a year before seeming to "wear off" and not work as well. I tried accutane but had to stop after a few weeks due to severe dry eye. Since taz is supposed to be stronger than tretonin I was considering trying it out. I also would have to switch brands to a generic .05 tretonin anyway since I've moved overseas and my skin is sensitive to poor-quality vehicles so this seems like a good time to try something new. thoughts? thanks!! :)

Tazorac did not work for me, but I have heard some say that other than accutane it was the only thing that worked for them.

The only thing you can do is try it for yourself. Seeing as how you have been on a retinoid for a while, you shouldn't have too big an IB. My derm swears by it but you have to try it for yourself to see how YOUR skin reacts
