Seani, Arizona Oct 10th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Seani has used this item for a few months. Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Anonymous, Rock Hill, SC Oct 5th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: It clears the skin and prevents acne. it also fades post-inflammatory marks Cons: it dries the skin Bottom Line: The product works well. It can dry the skin but you can put on moisturizer before applying the cream. Recommended: Yes Usage: Reviewer has used this item for a few months.

Nicole, Utah Oct 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: No Usage: Nicole has used this item for about a year. Price Paid: 20.00 Acne severity: moderately severe Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Kenneth Alan, Massachusetts Oct 2nd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

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. Recommended: Yes Usage: Kenneth Alan has used this item for about a year. Acne severity: moderate Was this comment helpful?

natz, australia Sep 23rd, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: works great, clears up acne, pore size appears smaller, less oiler Cons: does dry out skin, but nothing a bit of moisturiser wont first Bottom Line: great product, nothing ever worked for my face this was the first product to work, affordable yet effective sure it does dry skin out.. however dry skin seems like a bad thing but when you think about the acne you've had you'd much prefer some dry skin because you can always wear moisturiser! after years of creams, face washes, pills nothing ever seemed to work, but this was the first cream to change the way i look and feel. definately recommend!!

Lana, New York, NY Sep 21st, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: I'm sure it works for many and might work if you stick it out but first you have to witness your entire face burning off. Not willing to give it a chance given the results after two days. Luckily I didn't have to pay much with insurance. Cons: I look like a lizard that survived a horrible fire. Obvious emotional distress. Severe burning and pain, peeling, blistering, extreme drying, redness. Face peeling off. Prefer the acne. Bottom Line: I only used it for two days - my face got so dry and tight that I woke up bleeding from the sides of my mouth where the skin had cracked, and basically my whole face is peeling off where i applied the gel - but only where i applied the gel (.05%) The places where I didn't put the gel weren't affected - so basically some of my skin is white and some of it is burned off crusty and red and peeling like crazy. Now there are what looks like blisters appearing around my mouth. My skin is now leathery and I look like a burn victim. My doctor didn't warn me of this - he said "you might have dry skin for a month". He should have said - make sure you don't have to socialize or work or leave your house if you use this stuff because its going to burn your face off. I called out from work today but looks like i'll just have to go out in public like this because the show must go on. This is the most horrible horrible horrible thing i've ever experienced with my skin. Recommended: No Usage: Lana has used this item for a day or two.

Eddie, VA Sep 20th, 2009 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: This is an absolutly wonderful acne medication. Cleared me up big time, and is the only thing that worked Cons: takes at least 12 weeks to see results Bottom Line: This is a great drug. I used this with klaron and minocycline and is recomeded that u use taz with a anti bacterial. I'll just give a wuick sum up of what i did. I went to the derm with alot of acne, i was alergic to bp and had a rough time finding an acne med. He perscribed me taz and klaron. The first month i aw improvment and i had a derm apointment again. He perscribed me mino cause he said i was going to have a lot of breakout the next 3 weeks and he was right. taz dystors your face before it get better so plz dont write a review till the 12 weeks is up. at week 8 i had one last breakout then i was clear and had a lot of red marks. Now I dont have much acne and a little red marks but its al good i look really clear. It will probly be another month till my face will be where i want it but i am really happy about my current status. Usage: Eddie has used this item for a few months.
