Tazorotene (Tazorac, Avage) Reviews

THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING...

I have been on it twice along with clindoxyl gel. I use tazorac at night and clindoxyl in the morning. It's the only two products that work...Yes you peel like crazy in the beginning that's because it's getting rid of all of the dead skins cells so that the medication can sink into the pores to rid your face of the bacteria that causes those unsightly pimples. Besides you end up with new soft, smooth skin that looks beautiful!!! Depending on how bad your acne is will depend on how long it takes to see results. Hang in there and give it atleast 4 weeks and if the peeling is really bad gentle exfoliate your face in the shower with a loofa. Remember to drink plenty of water, change your pillowcase every 2 days and be patient!!! IT WORKS

I was told to use it for a few hours a day to start, so I had no bad side effects other than some flakiness in spots. During the 2nd week it seemed like everything was surfacing and it looked worse for several days. I was warned about this part and it passed. Two more weeks brought more improvement and I started leaving it on all night and wearing Duac during the day. Also taking 100 mg Doryx 2x a day. At 10 weeks I am a believer. Not totally clear but better each week.

I have been using this for about a week now. After two days of use I could already see a difference. Two days ago however, my face started to dry out and peel. I stoped using the medication but the drying seems to get worse. Its so painfull and ugly I dont even want to go into public. I think i may have used too much. Some people say that you should only keep it on for 30 mins to an hour. I kept it on all night. I think I'll try that when my face heals. I think that his stuff DOES work. But you have to use it correctly.

Tazorac didn't do %#!% for me. What's strange too is a lot of people here say it really "dried out" or "burned" their face... well, it was like the complete opposite for me. It didn't dry my face out at all; in fact, whenever I put it on at night, I would wake up the next morning and the residue that remained on my face was sooo oily and greasy, it literally looked like my skin was coated in vegetable oil or something.

I still use tazorac, but only when I need to give my face a break from the more abrasive, drying medications I also use (like benzamycin gel). The oiliness it leaves seems to help balance out the dryness from the other stuff. That's about it.

Tazorac has saved my skin. I began to see results within days of my first use. For a couple months I did experience peeling, but the skin underneath the peeling was nearly flawless. During this period I applied a mild facial lotion numerous times every night after applying the Tazorac. This helped to sooth my skin greatly. I now use Tazorac only a couple times a week to keep my breakouts from returning. The initial cost is high. However, I have been using the product for 11 months and am still on my first tube. I would recommend this product to anybody. Before I started using it, I didn't like to leave my house. Now, I don't even worry about applying makeup before I leave.

I have moderate acne, and was perscribed Tazorac as my first medication. It made my face so red, and i would often get these hot flashes to my face that were quite embarressing. Also the peeling can be a huge pain in the ass, like makeup cannot cover it because your face is so dry. However, it made my face much smoother, but the side effects outweighed the actual product. I would reccomend this as a summer product, if you are still in school because the side effects will make you look very weird.

This is the first week I use this. Doctor suggest me start with applying once every other day. I really doubt it. I am 40 years old with seriously acne problem. But got to try it.!

I only used this for one night and my face broke out sooooo bad!! I may have put too much on but I doubt it. But I only put it around my chin and then my cheeks. And the next morning I had like 5 HUUUUGE red ones on my forhead!! So I stopped using it and now 3 days later my face is getting a little better but it still is dry around my chin. I left it on that entire night too which was probaly a mistake. So im thinking I might get back on it but only leave it on for about 3 minutes and then washing it off. But seriously, Im 18 fixin to be 19 and Im just hoping my acne will clear up. I heard Green tea by Lipton help alot!! So Im gonna try that and just continue Clearasil Ultra (Daily Face Wash and Scrub) twice a day. But by reading these forums... I dont know if i should start using it again. ^@$! ACNE!!

To all you who have been prescribed TAZORAC for your acne please give this wonderful medication time to work. You should start seeing a dramatic difference in about 8 to 12 weeks. I have struggled with my Acne for over 15 years and this was the first product (I've tried everything from Retin-A, to ProActiv, to Antibiotics)that has successfully cleared my skin. I am absolutely ACNE free.

And the best part is once it settles into your system you can even skip nights without applying it. Just be patient and allow it to purge all of the impurities out of your system first.
