A member asked:
I have been using tazorac (tazarotene) for about two years. due to insurance purposes i have to switch to tretinoin. i'm wondering how the transition will go?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Will go fine: Tretinoin is less expensive but less potent. It is less irritating. There are several formulations. There are different strength creams and gels.
