I love Retin-A, haven't used Tazorac. Judging by some of my frienRAB' experience, Tazorac is better if your acne is on the severe side.
 
I have tried both of them and neither worked for me; only made my skin worse. Taz is definitely stronger than retin-a so i wouldn't use it if your skin isn't that severe. but i hope that you have better luck than i did with which ever one you choose.
 
I was on Retin-A Micro for a while, at first it worked great, then after a while it didn't do much for me.

I started Tazorac in July. I use the gel, and I only use it every other night. It really makes my skin peel, in the shower I rub light circles on my face with my finger tips and the dead skin washes right away. I was told that my skin would get worse for a bit (I go to my derm every two weeks for a few extractions) but for the most part I am noticing a positive difference from the month I have been on it.

My skin is a corabination of oily/dry, depending on the week. I do not consider my acne severe at all, but my skin is never 100% clear..I mostly break out on my forehead and cheek area.

Good luck with whatever you choose!
