What's the exact benefit of using those? Do you think they were worth it for you?
I don't really get acne on my face, but the texture and pores are so annoying

tazarotene worth more, but you can use tret if ur not sure about ur skin if it's sensitive or not. They really worth it, before tazarotene i use adapelene w BPO, honestly i never try tret so I can't tell exactly, I used azelaic acid on my lip border then, now I sometimes apply it on dark spot, you can use hydroquinone it's better than azelaic acid! beside that I also use estriol. Hope this help

then I think I'll start with tretinoin and gradually work my way up to tazarotene. What kind of changes did you actually notice in your face?

kinda burn and irritated ash first, then it's gonna break out so bad cause it's purging, then consistent for like 6-8 weeks you'll see ur skin become better

tretinoin has anti-aging properties and azelaic acid is used for redness, prevents purging, DHT blocker, etc.

Do you think hydroquinone can fix or at least improve my dark circles if they are only from thin skin or is it cope

it's cope sorry, use retinal, niacinamide, tranexamic acid, caffein or vitamin C serum, and remember to wear sunscreen, azelaic acid can help only a bit too. if none of these help, maybe u have recessed infra
