| Bottom line | I continued to peel at my skin for the first couple of weeks. (clearly, I'm an idiot). Also, I didn't use moisturizer because my derm didn't mention it and it wasn't on the direction I had. So, now my acne is getting better but I have these red splotches on my face from the skin that was peeled away. Does anyone else have any experience with this? Any suggestions on speeding the healing process? |

| Pros | it clears acne fast especially the little ones. |
|---|---|
| Cons | itchy, dry skin |
| Bottom line | Omg! The first week or so my skin go so bad, I broke out horribly and I was so itchy I wanted to scratch my face off. I had to cover my entire face with make up cuz I was embarrass people would see me with that face. I have suffered from acne ever since I was 14 and I am 26 now. I have been on taz for two weeks now and I am so far happy with the results I am seeing. My forehead was full with little bumps and now all of them are gone, my skin feels so smooth when I wash it however, I still get some big pimples here and there and those do not go away that easy and that fast. I have like three in one cheeck and like two in the other but overall my skin looks clearer and all the little bumps have already disappeared. I am using this in conjuction with bactrim and I use the obagi products for the acne marks and belive me... it is really helping a lot. I feel much more confident now. I will come back in like a month to tell all of you how my skin is looking. I wish I could add before and |

| Pros | Gets rid of minor blemishes quickly; even better, it also treats and clears cystic acne and post-cystic scars/marks. |
|---|---|
| Cons | severe skin peeling, increased redness, face/skin feels raw, tender to the touch, burning skin, chapped lips, dryness. |
| Bottom line | if you have sensitive skin or oily/dry combination skin, tazorac can feel like it's burning your face off, even if you use a very very small amount (I use 1/2 pea, which is 1/2 a dosage). my entire face peels off every week, which is embarrassing and tough to cover up. after it peels, it feels raw and burns a lot, so much so that it's difficult to even moisturize with a dermatologist recommended facial lotion. still, it has cleared very painful cystic acne...although i'm not sure which is worse––molting face or acne face... |

| Pros | Clears up acne fast, gives you a really smoothe complexion, gets rid of fine lines and dark spots. I look 5 years younger! Very happy w/ the results. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Very oily first 2 weeks. Dries out skin. Must follow directions exactly and you need to moisturize alot. Don't go in the sun without protection. |
| Bottom line | I am an older user of Tazorac. I am 51. I have suffered with adult acne since I was 18. I was on birth control pills for 35 years! Had to stop 4 months ago because of my age. I was very concerned about what my skin would do without the bc pills. It was not that great on them. I have moderate acne that I fight w/ daily. I told my derm to put me on something aggressive. She put me on Soloydn & Tazorac. After 2 weeks I developed every symptom you can get from Soloydn. I had a fever, terrible chills, body aches no energy and hives. I thought I had the flu until my husband said it might be my new medication. I stopped using it (my derm swears she's never had a patient w/ side effects!) I then continued w/ the Tazorac. I am so happy w/ the results! I actually looked in the mirror and said to myself "You are really pretty!" This is definetly my new best friend. Pretty much stinks that even at this age I still have to worry about acne! Hope this has been helpful. |

| Pros | Easy to apply, perfect solution to get rid of acne forever, not noticeable on your face, WORKS. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes acne get worse at first, (about 1 month it will be worse but not to much worse), but then it starts clearing. |
| Bottom line | I don't know why everyone says it dries their skin, they obviously didn't read the instructions. You must apply only a PEA SIZED amount to your face, and only in the areas that are affected. YOU MUST ALSO USE LOTION BEFORE PUTTING IT ON. Basically, if you know how to read, this medication is right for you. There should be no dryness, these people just put way to much on or didn't use lotion before putting it on. Or both. |

| Pros | Strongest med for acne |
|---|---|
| Cons | Irritates your skin if you use to much, dry, red, flakes |
| Bottom line | I started using this product as directed and after about 2 months, my skin completely cleared up. I didn't change anything and then 3 months later, I started breaking out again. As irritating as my skin gets when using it, and now planning on becoming pregnant, I'm going to stop and try Skin ID. I've already tried ProActive and the non-name brands like ProActive with no help, so now onto something else. |

| Pros | Gets rid of 75% of my acne incredibly fast. It makes my skin soft and smooth. |
|---|---|
| Cons | My entire face where it was applied peels every 3 or 4 days and it peels BAD. I look like a snake that's molting and everyone always asks me what's wrong with my face. It just dries out my face. |
| Bottom line | I've been using Tazorac since February so it's been a while, but only recently does my face peel like crazy. I don't use a moisturizer because I'm not sure which moisturizer to buy. I don't want to get one that isn't right and will cause more acne. |
