TERMEN EXPIRARE 09/2025 Differences Between Tazarotene and Tretinoin Whilst Tazarotene and Tretinoin are both prescription topical retinoids, there are some differences between the two medications. One of the most important differences between Tazarotene and Tretinoin is their strength. Tazarotene is generally considered more potent than Tretinoin and is in fact the strongest topical retinoid available on the market. Tazarotene is also available in higher concentrations than Tretinoin which maybe particularly useful in cases of severe acne. It is also the only topical retinoid that is indicated for use in psoriasis. For hyperpigmentation and treating ageing skin, Tazarotene like Tretinoin is usually used at a maximum concentration of 0.1%. Another difference between Tazarotene and Tretinoin is the type of acne they are most effective at treating. Tazarotene is typically more effective at treating inflammatory acne, while Tretinoin is more effective at treating non-inflammatory acne. Inflammatory acne is characterised by red, painful bumps that are often accompanied by swelling and inflammation. Non-inflammatory acne, on the other hand, is characterised by blackheads and whiteheads. These do not typically cause as much inflammation or discomfort. In addition to superiority at treating certain types of acne, Tazarotene may also be more effective at treating sun-damaged skin. Tazarotene also has higher efficacy in treating wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and texture. This is based on studies that compared the efficacy of both at the same dose and frequency. Although Tazarotene is stronger than Tretinoin, it is also has a higher risk of side effects. The most common problem people experience whilst using Tazarotene is skin irritation. This is usually more severe than with Tretinoin. It may require stopping the Tazarotene or reducing the dose and frequency so that the skin can tolerate it. For some people, they may not be able to tolerate Tazarotene even at lower doses. Instead they may have to switch to Tretinoin or even an over the counter retinoid. Which is Better: Tazarotene or Tretinoin? So, is Tazarotene better than Tretinoin? This really depends on each individual and their specific skin concerns. The truth of the matter is that it’s not so simple. Tazarotene may be more effective at treating certain types of acne and possibly faster at improving sun-damaged skin. This is however offset by the fact that it is more irritating to the skin due to its higher potency. This may make it inappropriate for treating people with sensitive skin. It may also not be the best choice for treating moderate sun-damage, ageing and non inflammatory acne. Tretinoin is also probably a better option for those who want to use it to generally improve the quality of the skin or maintain its appearance or for those who are just starting to use a retinoid. Another benefit to using Tretinoin is that it comes in a range of doses. It means you can start at a lower dose and gradually increase the strength once your skin adjusts. This helps reduce irritation and makes it easier to tailor the treatment to different people. Tazarotene is probably better for patients who have already used retinoids, do not have sensitive skin and/or who have severe psoriasis or inflammatory acne. Ultimately, the best choice between Tazarotene and tretinoin will depend on your specific skin concerns and goals as well as the recommendations of your healthcare provider. Both medications can be effective at improving the appearance of acne, fine lines, and uneven skin tone so the one that will work best for you will be the product that you can use most frequently and consistently.
