| Pros | It helped with my oily skin. |
|---|---|
| Cons | The first week, my acne blew up so bad! I applied an oil free cream before I applied the tazorac. I have been using it for 3 and a half weeks, and my acne is really blad. I woke up with 6 cystic pimples in a place I never get them. |
| Bottom line | I know this product will work, but you just have to be patient |

| Pros | I have used this product on my back before and it's still clear 3years later. It works very well. I am now using it on my face and neck. I have used it about 2months now. Pros are smooth face and getting rid of clogged pores. |
|---|---|
| Cons | My face feel tight sometimes and I have had some dryness. The dryness is mostly around the mouth area. Be careful not to put it close to your eyes or lips. Cons are initial breakout period pretty bad. |
| Bottom line | This product can be extremely drying. The key is to use a moisturizing cleanser and lotion. I use Oil of Olay oil free sensitive skin cleanser and Cetaphil lotion for all skin types fragrance free. I wash my face and moisturize right after and 20min. later use a dime size amount of tazorac. My dryness has been very minimal. Also, I started out 2weeks of every 2 days, 2 weeks of every other day and then started applying every day. You have to get your skin adjusted to the medication slowly to avoid the peeling, redness and dryness. I have very little of all 3. Good luck and be patient. A good coverage makeup without dryness is dermablend. Don't use any other acne washes or medications while using this. It does the job by itself. |

| Pros | Gets rid of acne pretty well |
|---|---|
| Cons | peeling and burning |
| Bottom line | I've been prescribed Tazorac for about a year now, but I've used it on and off mostly, because whenever I use it, it makes my skin peel and burns my face so much. I usually just use it if I have pimples on my neck or torso and it does a pretty good job of getting rid of those without burning or peeling. |

| Pros | My skin heals faster and I have fewer breakouts. It does not help black heads, but reduces the size of pimples. |
|---|---|
| Cons | My skin did not start getting extremely dry, peely, and itchy until two months into use. |
| Bottom line | It is the best product I have tried, my skin is moderate to severe, and this stuff leaves me with no more problem areas but only a pimple or two to stress over. I went from the .5 to 1 percent, and that made all the difference in effectiveness. |

| Pros | kind of clears acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | none no more |
| Bottom line | This is my 6th week on this medication and at first it cleared all my tiny bumps in a weeks, those are all gone but I am still pretty broken out with the big ones. I just keep on getting new ones every day, like 3 a day. For how long more will I be getting them. My face overall looks good but I still get a lot. I am honestly going to keep on using it for the full 12 weeks hoping to clear my acne that I have suffered from many years. I will keep you all posted. I am so depress now. I will come back in 6 more weeks hopefully with a clear face ;(. |

| Pros | Great product, check out my experience at [link removed] |
|---|---|
| Cons | Insurance has to verify with the prescribing dr. that Tazorac will indeed be used for acne treatment. That is because they fear people use it for cosmetic reasons, and of course insurance companies don't pay for cosmetic products. |
| Bottom line | Give it a try. I did an was very happy with the results. [link removed]> Ruby |

| Pros | Effective |
|---|---|
| Cons | Side Effects |
| Bottom line | I have been on Tazorac for about a year now. The first 2 or 3 months were brutal ... Not a pimple in site, but my skin was red, peeling, and the constant burning brought me to tears. Sound familiar? To combat the dryness my doctor prescribed Clindamycin Phosphate Topical Lotion (1%). Within a week the redness, dryness, and peeling were gone. I use the Clindamycin every morning and in the evening I use the Clindamycin, wait 15 minutes, and apply the Tazorac. My skin is finally flawless. |

| Pros | Clears skin, smoother skin, reduces oiliness, helps prevent milia |
|---|---|
| Cons | itchiness when on skin (severe at first), burning sensation, increased sun sensitivity, mild peeling, initial breakout |
| Bottom line | I am 22 years old and developed mild acne, oily skin, and milia about 3 years ago. I have been on Tazorac for 7 weeks and all side effects are gone. My skin is almost completely clear and no new milia have formed. My skin is now less oily. It is also supposed to prevent fine lines which is fantastic. This treatment is excellent and I plan to use Tazorac for the rest of my life. It is important to keep using and to get through the initial breakout (for me it was at its worst weeks 3-5 (my mild acne became moderate and I broke out worse than I ever had) but kept using the product and am so glad I did. How I use it: Wash in the PM with cetaphil cleansing bar for dry skin. Apply cetaphil moisturizing cream. Let it dry for 30 min and apply a pea sized amount to areas of my face that I are prone to blemishes. In the AM, exfoliate with St. Ives apricot scrub, wash with cetaphil, and use bare escentuals mineral moisturizer. My dr. said to use bare escentuals mineral make up to keep skin |

| Pros | Clears Skin completely. Baby skin smooth |
|---|---|
| Cons | peeling redness.If you stop using it acne returns after a period of time. |
| Bottom line | I have always had cystic acne or the ones that are red with a little white head. I used tazorac .1% and it cleared my skin. My skin was flawless. I stopped using it and I broke out again. I am currently on the .5% and it has removed the red acne vulgaris (red painful pimples) in a week. I broke out with white heads in my T-zone. Its only my 6th week and I know that it takes it time. It worked great before so I'm hoping it will work again. I loved this cream its amazing. Im crossing my fingers!! I didn't moisturize before on the .1% and my skin was fine I do have sensitive skin but not that sensitive. I don't really moisturize now with the .5% and I peel slightly. |
