A member asked:
Hi, i am on tretinoin right now for acne, and i am switching to tazorac for insurance purposes. should i expect another initial breakout?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: If your acne is fairly well controlled with tretinoin, I would expect a fairly easy transition to Tazorac as they have similar action in controlling acne.
