I use .05 as often as I can tolerate it without getting flaky. It’s always at least a minimum of 3-4x per week, but lately, because I can, it’s almost nightly.

Use as often as you can. I can use adapalene nightly but tret nightly causes redness. I’m going to be trialling microsphere treteinoin and tarzarotene soon.
Certain areas of my face are more prone to redness so I’m trialling using adapalene in these areas and tret where I tolerate it better.
I’m very red at the moment though lol

I use tazarotene occasionally for treating rough dry spots that usually develop into actinic keratosis if not treated. Tazarotene works much better for this than tretinoin.
I am not sure if I would want to apply tazarotene to large facial areas. It seems much stronger than tretinoin 0.5%
Yes, be very careful with tazarotene on the face unless you love the peeling tomato look

When Tazorac came out, I tried to use it for a couple of years… could never adjust to it! I am a sensitive thing though
@AustraliaLongevity I’ve since learned there is no reason to go stronger than you can easily tolerate. If what I’ve heard is correct, you wind up in the same exact place, but it’s just a matter of how long it takes to get there.
