I was using tazorac and benz together but I quit the taz and now just use benz. I think taz and differen are close to the same and the taz was way harsh for me. I am starting to think to many products make things worse?

Word of advice, i was on Differin for a month and I kept getting big zits and the redness of all the previous lesions was embarrasing. I switched to Retin-A Micro and it made the world of difference. No irritation and a stronger product because my skin peeled more which is great for cleaning pores and my skin has accepted it perfectly.

Just trying to save you some time.

Funny you bring this up, well sad for me cause I was first prescribed retin-a which totally messed me up. Left me with red marks and scars. When i decided to get off it, my face is so much better and my pimples are barely there now (small ones that is, no more huge ones, unlke when i was on retin-a). This is when i made the switch to benzamycin but was also presscribed differin since i'm not 100percent clear or as good as i would like but i only get small pimples now so im' glad

i use duac only now with a light moisterizer and my skin is much better!
