i don't know how much time it needs but personally i'd be worried about overdoing things+
I presume you'd apply it on clean skin so it would be an extra wash in there. Plus azelaic can be a bit drying. I know it can be hard to find a slot t

Thank you so much that is super helpful! I never knew that! +
I will definitely follow your advice, no more actives! So you think the aim is to build up until I can use it as an overnight treatment? I am waiting

The 0.1% tazorac gel is the strongest retinoid according to several derms I have talked to++
Stronger than the cream at the same 0.1%. I can tell on my skin as well. So I would go super slow. Do the contact method and then do the every 3 days

Just a guess, but did you start getting the random cysts before +
or after going on tretinoin? Because you use A LOT, both in terms of “actives” and ingredients that have potential to cause issues with skin. Meaning,

Endless redness and peeling is a clear sign your skin is severely irritated and the Taz is too rop
strong and you're using too much/too often. Retin-A/Taz irritation is very countereffective; it not only damages the skin but promotes aging signs. Yo

Tazarotene is incredibly strong and it's a huge jump from Tretinoin 0.025% to Taz 0.1%; it would be+
more sensible moving up to 0.05%. Taz has significantly more risk of irritation and contact dermatitis than Tretinoin. But the same guidelines for sta
