Going from differin to tretinoin

I’ve used differin everyday for roughly 3 months now and am considering to go for tretinoin. Will I experience purging all over again once I start using tretinoin?

tret is significantly stronger than differin, so I can’t say for certain that you will but be prepared for the possibility of going through the purging process again

I think purging happens when you have pimples that have some ‘unfinished business’ with your skin. So you may experience purging or you may not. I don’t think we can say for sure you just have to try and see

Is tretinoin stronger? I used Epiduo which I think is the same retinoid as Differin but I’m also thinking about changing to tret in future.

I actually went from tretinoin to differin but there was a month or two gap so I did get the purge again but if you've already purged once I don't think you are gonna go through it again when using any retin -a product continuously
