Can you mix Tazorac and Retin-A? Can you mix both or use one of each week after week?

Question

Thanks for your interesting question.  I would wonder why that sounds like something that would be helpful?  Retin-a is a milder form of Tazorac in a way, so if you need a lot of help with acne and have fairly oily skin, Retin-a might not be strong enough for you.  I would just stick with your dermatologist's recommendations, and I don't think mixing a less-strong and a more-strong retinoid would make much of a difference.  Best of luck!
