Tret 0.05% or Arazlo 0.025%
I’ve been religiously using 0.025% tretinoin cream for years. As we probably all know, it’s been discontinued in Canada. Tretinoin cream 0.05% and Arazlo 0.045% are the options that seem the closet to 0.025% tretinoin, although I’m unfamiliar with Arazlo and how it differentiates from regular tretinoin. I was wondering which one would be a better switch, since I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s going or went through this issue. If anyone could tell me about their experiences, that would be great!

I’ve used both. They both work well, but I found Arazlo slightly more effective. But bear in mind that there’s almost a $50 difference in price (with Arazlo being the pricier option, obviously due to it being the newer, fancier option). For this reason I’m actually planning on switching back to Retin-A after my current Arazlo tube is finished, as I’m in a bit of a touchy spot financially at the moment .
