Acne.org's Real World Take
Trifarotene is the newest retinoid to hit the market. It’s very expensive and not usually covered by insurance. It works in a slightly different way from the other retinoids (adapalene, tretinoin, tazarotene), and may provide slightly better results with a lesser chance of side effects. It should provide noticeable clearing of the skin, but is unlikely to completely clear you up on its own.
