If i don't have acne, but want to use a retinoid for anti-aging properties, which do you recommend? (adapalene vs tretinoin vs tazarotene)

See primary provider: Talk to your doctor regarding this as the entire picture of other meds and underlying chronic conditions all play a role in the decision making process.

Tretinoin: Retin A (tretinoin) is one of the best products for prevention of wrinkles and correction of skin damage. It has been used for over 25 years and has an impressive array of research to support it's benefits. Retin A works at a cellular level to remodel skin and boost collagen. It can improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and fade dark spots. Sunscreen should be used with Retin A

There is good data: For both tretinoin and tazarotene. There multiple available concentrations for tretinoin that make titration easier. Some people feel like tretinoin may be less irritating too.
